Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 469 Dungeon On The Island

[OP: ]

The people of the dark room had been confused, bewildered, astonished, and so strangely excited that they almost went nuts.

The two promising members of their new student council proved to be far more amazing than they had estimated and far beyond the calculation that they had concluded beforehand.

Not only the two were surprisingly strong, but two of them were also strangely normal even after killing a creature that was a perfect replica of their partner… and they killed that (Blue) ranked being with one attack so it was even more 'unique' for the people of this dark room.

The boy from before was now only silently staring at the screen, his face painted with an unchanging smile.

The girl was excited until a while ago but now she was just sitting back on her comfortable chair, her green-white hair messed up from a long try to understand the strange barrier that had blocked the view of the area the two of them were camping in.

It was a strange situation as technically, the people in this room should have a full view of every area of the island, but they couldn't see the two of them for a while now, and they had also all given up at this point.

It was absurd and the first night was about to end on the island, but they at least had a possible hypothesis of why they couldn't see in that place anymore.

On the screens, the area was the same as before, but just the part with the two of them, and the bonfire was nowhere to be seen.

One would say that they used some kind of barrier but even with the barrier, they would still be on this island and be visible to the people in this room.

But they weren't visible anymore, so there could be two other points of view.

First would be that the girl, the one who most probably used some kind of magic or skill after that strange and sudden reaction, somehow separated themselves from that illusionary space or create a domain of her own inside this existing magic structure of an archmage.

Or the other option would be that this girl is someone so strong that she can disperse the magic of an archmage like their headmaster, but… that probability was absurd, so they had their money on the first one.

It was still strange though.

The lady with burgundy hair wearing a suit, the one with an authoritative voice, couldn't help but doubt that there would be any weaker skills that can create a domain or distorted space as this girl did.

It was strange, but she had also given up on thinking deeply about this uncertain thing. They had better work to do than waste time thinking about something such as this.

They would naturally get higher points now that they had shown these amazing powers, but this strange power to vanish from even their near omnipresent eyes seeing this island… it was peculiar.

Even the man with a deep voice was observing the place with the two of them attentively, searching for some kind of clue, playing with the crystal ball before him, changing the blue magic screen just before that transparent ball.

He was still searching for why the two would just vanish, as even with a skill or magic, there had to be some spectrum of light that would show their magic or skill frequency.

Alas, it would have been easier had he expanded the search spectrum and searched for any unique frequency on that part of the island.

He would have at least found out the strange sheet of water covering this area they had vanished from.

It wasn't magic, and it wasn't a skill either.

It was simple water. Specifically, water from her special ancient artifact EFMW.

It was covering them and making a unique domain.

It was convenient and made from a formless weapon that had a grown-up Ego. It was automatically changing the barrier's frequency, and it also didn't need any kind of extra energy input from her.

Rein was able to do things freely and rest with Eon thanks to her dear weapon and even Eon, who taught her to use it this way, was surprised how this one weapon was a universal tool in true meaning.

It was amazing, the spectators of the dark were doing their work and evaluating the other members of the student council, and the first morning lights were gracing the people on the island.

The spectators hadn't had too bad of an impression of any of the members, so we could say that they were better than the previous batch where more than three people were released from their duties just after the entrance exam.

They all were fine and were doing their work appropriately. It looked like they were doing very well, at the very least.

In reality though, aside from the two of our dear unique ones, all the other members were doing their best, giving their all to cover their huge piece of land, examining the examinees fighting the extreme monsters, and eliminating undesirable ones.

Their ultimate goal was to save people, and they were doing it. But unlike that strange couple who were camping and doing some 'unknown activity' in their invisible domain instead of handling their areas, they all had their hands, minds, and body full with their work.

The people of the dark room understood that too, but still, this batch of council members was good.

And it was now morning so… the curtain blocking the two of them finally lifted and the spectators saw the new images of their most unique and surprising members…

Eon and Rein stood up and looked around, Eon especially wearing different clothes from before, as she had to rip them off.

The bonfire had died down and the blood-stained ground was cleansed. The destroyed ground was also back to its original state.

The two of them had recovered from the episode of last night, so it was time for them to go around and gather the treasures.

The examinees that had stopped to rest last night would also come back, so they had to finish setting up the talisman paper dummies in her zone too. Thankfully, she had set some magic traps in crucial places so they wouldn't have much work.

They had planned things already, and they were going to the hidden core area, the special dungeon, after that.

So… skipping to the time after they finished their work and moved to an empty area of the forest, the spectators got on the edge of their seats.

They were standing before a certain tree in their lush green forest.

Eon knew this was the place, his higher version (: Scan) could clearly detect the slightly higher Mana density and the distorted space around this area.

He had learned a lot from his past experience with the (Boundary) near her house with that tomb so things were clear from their side.

There was a boundary somewhere here, maybe not the permanent one like the one they had back home but hopefully a usual one that only let someone pass through once.

It was their destination and, in this case, the entrance to the dungeon. This island was just an illusion, after all. There couldn't be some actual [Space-Time] distortion.

But yes… even the spectators of the dark room who knew about this place admired the crazy headmaster's amazing magic.

He hid the magic core in the center of the illusion island, and the path to that place was hidden in the same way as a boundary.

For most people, the concept of spatial boundaries was clear, but no one would be able to actually pinpoint the small location that was the boundary entrance of this one.

They admired the fact that the two of them could locate the place with this unique dungeon, but they all were the most excited to see how the two would get inside.

There was no way to know where this boundary was, so they only had the option of destroying everything in the area with a powerful spell or attack which would reveal the indestructible entrance.

They were excited to see something more surprising than they had seen till now. But contrary to their excited thoughts…

"Rein?" Eon looked at her and she looked at the left side of the tree before them.

Then, she took the lead while holding his hand, walked forward, stood before an aerial root of the tree, calmly touched one of the root caps, and…

-Oooooooooong!

They vanished and reached a new open area, a lush grassy plain, endlessly stretching before their horizon, with the same bright blue sky of the evening.

The clouds passed lazily, the blades of green grass danced with the gentle winds, and as soon as this view entered their eyes…

-Shwa! Shwa! Shwa! Shwa! Shwa! Shwa!

Strange needles flew towards them from all over the place but failed to reach them as a transparent barrier blocked them.

They had reached their destination and had received a warm welcome already.

It was a quick response and Rein had an excited smile on her face as she looked around the grassland with her eyes.

They were surrounded by at least a hundred (Yellow) ranked (Poison weasels). And this bunch wasn't nerfed like the ones on the island.

She was excited, and he was happy to see her smile at the cute creatures.

They were inside the dungeon and the opponents were here, so they took out their weapons and prepared their spells.

The spectators were shocked and disappointed that they couldn't see them do something cool before the boundary, but now that they were here, they prepared their poor hearts and minds for the new shocks.

The headmaster had said the girl would be able to demonstrate her abilities better here, but she wasn't one to give them their first surprise in this dungeon. It was the boy who they had only seen moving through the forest, setting up the talisman paper dolls, and using absurdly powerful magic.

"A… bow?"

"No, but, isn't he…?"

"He was an archer!? The hack?!"

"A magic archer~!! I knew there was more to him than just magic~! He had to be an archer with those good eyes, sensitivity, and the way of moving~!"

Their dungeon conquest was starting and, at the same time… the examinees on the island were entering the second night of their exam.
