Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 824: Elemental helix: Passage of winds

[Rein's POV: ]

The special flower looked a little different in my eyes than how it must have been to everyone else… it looked so different that even after I described what I was seeing to Eon with all the words I could think of, it still did not give justice to what I was actually seeing.

'The flower was a simple crystal structure to the others made up of green crystals that had a gentle tornado wrapped around it.'

They could see he creatures around this flower, they could see the lights, and some of them who were sensitive to the spirit energy could tell that there were many spirits present in this area… but that wasn't all there was to this place.

As soon as we exited that strange cave of trials together, we were standing before a vast area that was filled with all kinds of creatures, with a soft ground beneath our feet.

There was grass and flowers all over this ground and there were various plant based creatures playing in this place along with other creatures as well.

There was even a bunch of super rare, weird, cute, pretty, adorable, and amazing looking creatures present here that stole my heart as soon as we all entered this place.

It was certainly a paradise for not just us, but for the rest of the creatures that were living here.

And, considering how many of them were extremely rare species, some of them being unknown to even me, it was obvious just how important this place was.

'There was a completely open area above us. There was a vast lake before us, and there was a soft greenery beneath us.'

The water of the lake was not only pure and clear, from how there were various unique water species living together in it, it was obvious that the very water here had some magical properties.

'Just that much alone was enough to give this place the role of a paradise, but there was one most important thing here that made it one of a kind.'

The Elemental helix.

A flower that I've heard about many times, mostly in the past on the battlefields.

'She loved this flower...'

There were few things in this world that she liked as much as that mythical flower, and she always wanted to see one in her life if possible.

'She used to say that she could go to the world of the spirits if she somehow crossed over to the other side of the passage that this special flower created.'

And back then, I used to ridicule her funny and unreal wishes.

'I wanted to see one even after my time on those battlefields and I wandered the world in search of one that wasn't blocked by the governments…'

It was impossible to get anywhere close to the ones that were already under the protection of the governments so I've had no choice but to find one that no one had discovered yet.

And for that, I had went all around the world for five whole years before I gave up in the foolish dream and went back to the house that I belonged to.

'Those were difficult times, and I had forgotten about that wish of mine… that wish of hers.'

I don't even know when I mentioned it to him, but this bastard of mine somehow remembered it, and now… we were standing before the thing that she had longed to witness.

"This is unbelievable…"

"You've been saying that since the last half an hour, Uriel."

We were sitting on the ground playing with the cute looking creatures, some of them were playing in the water, some of the boys were playing with the big creatures, my bastard darling was doing something on the other side with Hide, Deleon and Alf while some of them were already in the island on the middle of the lake, watching the flower from up close.

But, we were sitting at the very back, observing the others, having fun from the fun that they were having.

"Unbelievable…"

"Oh for goodness sake! What's so unbelievable?!"

Tia was already done seeing everything there was to see in this place, including the things that existed in the astral realm.

And, after witnessing all that, she was so stunned that she came down to us and had been just sitting with us in her bigger, human form.

'And I had managed to annoy her with only a few words, kehehe~.'

But, well, perhaps she would be the only one that understands why I was saying this was so unbelievable.

"How would you react if I tell you that I can see the gate, the spirit blaze, and the light cluster circling the flower?"

I said that in a low voice while looking at her with a smirk, and, as I knew, there was a baffled expression on her pretty face.

"I… won't believe you. There's no way you can See all that. It would be unbelievable… wait. Wait!"

Then she realised it out of the blue and looked at me with a shocked expression, surprising the rest of the ladies sitting with us.

"How can you See all that?! That's not possible."

"Of course it's not possible, hahaha~."

She was just too funny~.

I couldn't help but laugh at how funny her expression was right now, especially in this form where she looked more adorable than when she was in her Fairy form.

"Hehehe."

Even Quin, Zoe, and other ladies sitting with us were laughing at her funny reaction.

"You're so funny Tia~."

We laughed, making fun of our dear adorable friend… but, I wasn't joking this time.

'I could actually see what she was only able to see after entering the Astral realm.'

In fact, what I was seeing right now was more than what one could see after entering that realm since… what I was seeing included not only elements of the physical and astral world… but also elements of the other side.

'Elements, things and scenes of the spirit world that one wasn't supposed to see while being in the physical world.'

The elemental helix was a passage to the spirit world, a one sided gate from where the spirits could pass through to the physical world.

And, since this passage was mainly only open to the spirits of the Wind elements, the winds in this cave were more intense.

The others who couldn't sense the spirit energy that well wouldn't understand just how high the concentration of the spirit energy was in this place and mainly how strong the gentle winds surrounding the special flowed on that island actually were.

'They were harmless to the other creatures since they were produced by the cute spirits that had no intention to harm any other life form, but they were in fact dangerous.'

The concentration of wind was so strong around this flower, this one sided gate that if the spirits collectively wanted, they could destroy this entire cave in a blink of an eye.

The crystal helix was a producing a bright light that was manifesting into a large gate covering the entire ceiling present above our heads, and beyond this gate existed the world of spirits that… well, I couldn't put it into words even if I wanted to.

'It was a different realm and even though I could see it, since I was not part of that realm myself, by the Laws of nature, I couldn't put it into tangible words.'

The passage of winds… hundreds of wind spirits that seemed to be tiny balls of light from my eyes were circling around the flower and their mere movements were producing all those dangerous winds.

There were a lot of them present, so the spirit energy density of this place was so high that it also increased the concentration of the other energies of nature.

This produced the perfect atmosphere for the creatures to gather, mate, and recover in this unique place. And, since the spirit concentration was so high in this place, the spores of the fast growing flowers present all across this lake were getting carried by the winds that moved them out of this cave.

'The Elemental Helix was said to bloom randomly after every few years, and it stayed bloomed for around a week before closing down.'

And when it closed, the elemental gate that opened alongside it also closed down.

'However, in this small time where the flower blooms, it gives a way to all the young and old spirits of the Wind element in this scenario, to come to the physical world.'

Spirits, being playful creatures by nature, comes to this world through this gate and their presence, along with the high concentration of the spirit energy that they bring, and their presence all around the island of magic's wealth afterwards, creates the unique phenomenon— the sudden appearance of those flower gardens.

"A wonder of nature…"

None of us might have seen or ever even known about this place had it not been for my bastard that somehow found the possibility of something like this being present here, and spent his day and night researching it.

'I know even though he did not know the actual existence of this place.'

There was no book with anything about this place written in this world since not many had ever set foot here, so it wasn't like he already knew about this place, about this paradise.

'He found it on his own.'

And he took all of us here because he wanted to see this place, and the uniqueness of this place along with all of us.

"That bastard…"

I don't know how many times he has amazed me in these few years we have been together but even after all this time, even after getting engaged and having spent all this time in this academy and making all these friends… he still has ways to amaze me.

'He's amazing.'

It's unfair, and I don't like it at all… but, it's a fact.

He's just like that.

And, there's no helping it.

'I'll have to live with it.'
