Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 379 Blood Aura And Purple Flames

The blood-red Aura that wrapped around the blade of the scythe was amazing. It was pure like blood, the rad, plasma that humans drop when cut or hurt by a blade.

The fluid attribute of Aura was thick, unlike most liquid, just like the actual blood.

It was thick and heavy, and the way it was shaped perfectly around the scythe also made it sharper than most.

This aura... it actually seemed like the aura of a reaper thirsty for blood.

It could have also been close to the blood energy used by vampires, but the main characteristics of Aura were still present. So it was closely different.

The color was perfectly bloody. The distinct Aura energy that always carried a special explosive power was also present and the fluid form gave it even more heaviness.

On the other hand, the death knight that sensed the presence of the aura had also revealed his aura.

And this one was a sharp purple. A flame of purple energy warped around his perfect sword.

This was a perfect sword, and the Aura that covered this sword held special characteristics, just like his opponent.

But his opponent knew about the undead, while the undead, true to its basic commands and instincts, was only focused on defeating the opponent with all he had got.

This was a battle for both of them and they were ready... so, as soon as the blood-red aura wrapped around her scythe, and the purple flames covered the metallic sword of the death knight... both of them vanished.

...

-Boooooom!

-Clank. Clank. Clank.

-Kllllank!

The first clash created an explosion that was unlike anything previously shown by the girl.

Her previous opponents had all been weak, but this one, this death knight who was also just a mass of bones covered in perfect armor, was no small fry.

He was strong. Strong enough to match her speed, attacks, and the Aura that was covering his sword was giving a match to her great blood-red aura.

The first clash gave them the idea of the strength their opponent possessed, so they then started earnestly giving their all to them.

The dark shadows around the area started gathering and slowly going inside the shadow of the undead, while her eyes became even sharper and she created a dark barrier around them, trying to block the shadows from moving inside their battleground.

But it was futile... the skill of the undead was high level and unconditional. The low level of the barrier was unable to do anything.

His skill continued absorbing the darkness and their fight continued.

His sword, covered in purple flames, was astonishing but her scythe covered in bloody red Aura was not something one could look away from.

In normal cases, people wouldn't want to look at the sight of blood or the red color of fresh blood itself, but in this case, the Aura that had gained the color of blood was something captivating for mortal eyes.

The Auras were one thing, but the way the two moved, used their weapons, and used their techniques was something amazing too.

The way she wielded her scythe was captivating.

Her crescent moon scythe, the shiny blade, the body of the purple scythe that matched her hair perfectly, and the pink eyes that were fully focused on the eternal death of the undead.

He was also cool, even though he was undead.

His cool swordsmanship was something that caught her attention.

It wasn't some normal swordsmanship of a mere knight. It was a high-level movement that only an experienced knight could perform.

These movements were flashy and used the characteristics of his perfectly balanced blade. The way it moved seemed like a reptilian creature moving solely to hunt its prey.

The eyes of the undead, the empty sockets of the creature, were lit with a special light that contained the expression of the creature.

They were reflecting his shock and admiration but they were nothing but some instinctive responses of a dead creature at the end.

She didn't even look at his face, only looking at the blade, his foot movements, and the trajectory of his sword.

He moved through the small area as the dark shadows continued to get absorbed in his shadow and as the fight continued, his speed increased, his movements became even more amazing, and the weight behind his sword strike that was previously easy to block was hitting her with even more power.

She knew if this continued, she would have no choice but to try harder and use more than the required amount of resources to hunt this creature.

So she had also started her special attack.

The orbit of her swings had become strange, the way she simply used her scythe had also changed. And the Aura flow was also starting to take a shape.

She was now performing strange footwork, and the undead had no idea about what was to come.

But he knew there was something different with the movements of the opponents, so he sensed that something might have changed.

Maybe the opponent was getting tired and weaker, so this was clearly a chance for him.

"Khaaaaa!"

He cried out as soon as he found another gap in her attacks and used two skills at the same time.

The first one, his scream that was enough to shake the rocks of the cave, was enough to paralyze the small creatures flying in the corners of the cave. As well as the small gap that was created between them was enough to use his undead power to call upon some other undead with his dead-raising skill.

He took advantage of the weird gap that was just normal in his eyes until now, but the girl had no expression on her face to the end.

She continued her footwork, the dance that seemed weird, and the scythe that she masterfully swung, as well as the Aura that had condensed at the blade only… was a precursor to her special technique.

But it needed a bit more time to finish.

She continued her dance while blocking the sword of the enemy and cast some powerful defensive barriers around herself.

She was unfazed by the suddenly summoned undead and the paralyzing scheme from before had no effect on her.

She just continued to dance, even ignoring the normal skeletons that were far weaker than the ones that she had previously fought.

But from the normal perceptive of two people battling against each other, the sudden appearance of these skeletons could have been a great problem for them.

They could very well hinder their movements and then it would be a certain death if they revealed any gap and allowed the enemy to attack.

It was the same as inviting death with open arms or going into the open embrace of the death reaper.

But the girl that was at a disadvantage here had no thoughts right now.

The weak skeletons could do whatever they want but her opponent right now was this death knight.

His innate strength and keen senses that blocked her special movements as well as the body that had no great effects even after fighting against her for that long of a time were the greater problems than some weak undead that she knew would disappear as soon as the knight was dead.

Her eyes were focused on the knight and the knight's special eyes were seeing the entire battle happening in real-time.

His skill to see the entire closed ground of the battle would have been a great help if it was a real war and he was some commander commanding some small army but right now, his opponent was a mere girl that was giving him time and gaps to attack.

But she was avoiding them at the same time, and there was not even a scratch on her body, so she was perfectly fine even after this long fight.

It had been a while since the battle started and he was 20% stronger than he was a while ago, meaning the burden on the girl was increasing.

The skeletons summoned by him were obviously weak and as soon as they came near the girl and tried anything, the way her scythe was swinging in all directions would just destroy them on the spot.

The scythe contained the disgusting light attribute, so it was even more frustrating.

But with the passing of time, the death knight could sense the light energy getting weaker, so he was excited that he would finally finish the intruder off.

He was nearing yet another boring win, but there was still the main thing remaining.

The girl had danced for a while and the Aura had perfectly covered only the blade of her scythe now.

There were six skeletons beside the knight, but they were just some useless spectators.

The knight that had summoned them had already stopped summoning more after knowing they were useless in a fight against a truly strong one like this girl, whose scythe orbits destroyed them as soon as they neared her, and he was now fighting her alone.

But he still took full advantage of his great strength, skills, and the gaps that the opponent was making in her defenses, knowingly or unknowingly.

-Klank! Klank! Klank!

Their fight was nearing the end, as the light attribute energy at the end of her scythe had almost completely gone.

But she had hardly, but definitely, finished her technique.

Her scythe technique would have been far easier to complete if the opponent was some weaker creature, but the opponent that she was facing right now was tough and she knew that.

She acknowledged the creature, but it was her opponent in the end.

She wanted those artifacts he was wearing, as well as the core that powered him.

His swordsmanship was good, but it wasn't at the level that she would acknowledge as one of the best, but it definitely was a good one.

It would have been much better and amazing if the one that made those techniques was still alive, but the state this one was in right now couldn't be considered a threat.

The opponent was strong, but she wasn't weak either.

She fought with this creature till the end of the enchantment's time limit and now was the end.

...

[ "Hey skull face~." ]

The girl used her skill... a skill that could enchant someone, or create a voice that could be comparable to the command of an authority holder.

This was a special skill that can't be ignored even if this opponent was an undead.

The death knight that would naturally have resisted most types of illusion series magic, as well as control magic, was now affected by a skill.

He lost control of his body and stopped for a moment, and the same was true for the skeletons summoned by him.

Everyone was frozen, even though it was for just a moment, they had definitely stopped.

And this was the moment to unleash the attack she had prepared for all this time…

'Death scythe first unleash: Net."

A single moment before the duration of the light enchantment ended... it was stretched to infinity in the eye sockets of the death knight watching the goddess of death in person.

He wished it for a long time, but he knew at this moment when he saw his opponent suddenly appearing before him, that he had reached that point.

The point that he had wished would come soon.

He had waited for a time which was now unknown to this creature, but he was definitely feeling the emotion of happiness even after being an undead.

...

The girl vanished the moment the time had almost stopped, lifted her scythe with only her blade covered in her blood-red Aura, and swung it for the final time with the same emotionless eyes.

She only wanted this armor and the sword, so she precisely cut through the bare parts of the armor, the thin gaps that were still revealing the dark black bones of the creature.

She made several cuts in that small time.

-Skim! Skim! Skim!

Horizontal, vertical, diagonal. She created a net of red lights in that mere moment that seemed humanly impossible to accomplish.

But she had done just that…

Her blood-red Aura which was based on a high cutting ability had cut off the iron body of the death knight!

...

The moment ended, and she appeared on the ground back on the spot she previously was, and at the same time… a beautiful net of red light appeared before the knight.

And this light just passed through the body of the still-standing knight and then… it just disappeared like it had all been a lie.

But the very next moment after that, the knight's body that had been alive somewhere for a long time fell for the first time, finally reaching the end of his eternal life…

His soul, which had never wanted this undead life, had been slashed along with the bones and was now free!

So... a light came out of the undead knights and became particles and... just scattered into the surrounding.

The Area was now left with the girl, the black bones which had no outer energy, its purple energy core, and the artifacts that he was using.

The girl had won the fight... but she was tired, so she immediately called out her kitten as well as some potions to get better.

She had achieved her goal here, not that she was finished with the main task, but she definitely received something more valuable than her dear friend had previously did.

So without wasting any more time... she called out to her dear friend as she lay on the ground, this time genuinely exhausted from the battle.
