Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

[{ "Shall we end things here, then?" }]

We had all that we needed here, and we knew there wasn't anything that pointed towards this specific individual being part of that evil organisation, so we did not have to worry about this particular person.

[{ "I'll start wrapping things up." }]

There were not many things that we needed from this place, but there were a lot of records in this place that might now prove to be useful in the negotiations against these people.

'Gods were involved in something that might destroy this important place…'

The news will surprise the headmaster. Perhaps, it might even shock him… but knowing the nature of those beings, I know he won't really find it that unusual.

But it still means that this would be something that he might not have expected as resulting findings of this task.

[{ "Rein, go ahead." }]

[{ "Alright." }]

The news that the gods were involved with something so sinister wasn't anything pleasant to any of us.

It invoked the questions about the authenticity of the nature of these gods, but since the rest of them didn't know about the atrocities that these bastard gods had committed already, they had a pretty positive view of those higher beings.

'They did not know about the [Divine rulings]. And it was best that they didn't know about them.'

They already didn't like those beings and if the knowledge about the things that they had done to reach the positions they were at were added to the equation, they might start hating them.

That's why I won't be telling them any of those things unless it was absolutely necessary…

{ "Young ones… you have proven your faith." }

Rein used her Origin energy and created a light that contained stars, attractive enough to surprise the young children.

{ "We have received your answers, and we know now what you are." }

She was talking about something else, something that was part of her script, but in reality, she was using her memory erasing skill.

{ "We will deliver your answer to Them, so rest assured…" }

Their excited expression then started fading away as their eyes became heavier and heavier…

"What's happening-."

{ "And just go back to sleep." }

We can feel the movements outside of this place so it was obvious that the knights and the knight captains had found out about this place.

Additionally, there was a stronger presence accompanying them, so it seemed like the Grand order himself was following them after the discovery of the secret underground passage and the uniqueness of the situation.

-Thud. Thud. Thud.

We were done with these children and, though we didn't get the answer to the question that we were here for, the plan that we were here for had been carried out successfully.

'Everything went according to the plan.'

The guards didn't believe us and were so stunned by our presence that they didn't doubt the authenticity of the letter that we sent to the Knight captain.

Then the knight captain didn't doubt the letter that the gate knight had brought to him and when he held it, the Rune spell that I had created that letter with was activated and his mind was trapped in an illusion.

'And then he followed us around like we were some kind of important individuals.'

The spell that I had created that letter with was special and not something that I can just use because I wanted to… the headmaster had to help me with this task.

'And he was surprised by the kind of spell this was, again.'

It wasn't an illusion spell or a mind control spell. It wasn't anything that even affected the mind itself like the Fragmantin could.'

It was a spell that altered the memories of an individual and redirected their thought processing units.

'It was a magic that affected the Brain itself.'

A pure Rune magic that I had developed with the help of my master and her spirit friends.

It affected the brain and the parts of the brain that controlled the memories and feelings, and with this spell, we could make someone Believe something without having to affect any of the other parts of their body.

It wasn't a simple magic that could be detected since it was a spell that was activated by the energy of the individual it was applied to, much like a parasite.

'The Knight captain would have never found out about that spell if we didn't want him to.'

He might have continued to believe that we really were some kind of hidden elders that were paying a random visit to this institution after a long time.

'In his mind, we were beings that were the closest to our gods any person could ever be.'

And he made that up himself with the memories that he himself had experienced in the past.

'This spell was dangerous, and the headmaster knew it the moment he learned about its existence.'

But, from the spell structure alone, he also knew that there is no way someone could cast a spell of that level like any fireball spell that we could cast.

'It was a highly complex spell made with Runes, various Mana construction techniques, and the use of various spell points, cores, and connectives was so difficult in this spell that I only have six books of them Scripted in my mind tower.'

It's a spell that requires a lot of time and precision to get ready, that's why if not for this specific scenario, I might not even have shown them this thing.

'But the circumstances asked for it.'

And the outcome to all this was refreshing.

[{ "Alright. Exit plan alpha. Regroup in the planned points." }]

[{ "Yes." }]

[{ "Alright." }]

[{ "Take care." }]

The children had fallen asleep and we were going to leave them here since the knights and the highest authority of this place was alredy here.

There were various escape routes ready alredy so, after checking up on everything and 'making necessary arrangements' in this place, we escaped the underground area individually.

After that, we followed the planned paths of evacuation and through different secret exists that not many of the people in this place knew about, we either went out or waited until the things inside had calmed down before going out ourselves.

'Lucy.'

[{ *Yes, master.* }]

I stayed behind for a while since there were a number of things that only could take care of here.

But that wasn't for long either…

[{ *I've gathered all the data, master.* }]

I had to use two more Analysis uses, so we know we won't be able to do this anytime soon, but it was necessary for the final report.

[{ "I'm leaving." }]

[{ "Quick. We are tired already." }]

By the time I also went out of the holy teaching institute Kaksha, the sun had already gone down the horizon, and the stars had started praising the eternal ethereal beauty of the full moon of tonight.

"You're late!" Rein shouted at me the moment I arrived there and closed the door of the inn behind me.

"I'm sorry. It took longer than I expected."

The regrouping station was located in the very edge of the city, far away from the centre where Kaksha was.

"What took you so long?" Cradle and president weren't angry like her, but unlike the president that was genuinely concerned about me, Cradle had a bored expression.

She was the same as always, uninterested in things she knew had no need for her worries.

But, it also meant that she knew I would be fine even though I was so late.

And that made her the kind of person that I Needed in this life of ours.

"What are you doing exactly?! You should have reached here before any of us!"

"I know, I know."

She was angry since she was worried about me, but after the things that we found out today, her worries were obvious.

"Calm down," I whispered while hugging her.

-Snap.

Placed a special barrier all around us, and took out an artefact that they all were familiar with already.

"And take a look at this."

I was late because I was doing my own investigation in that 'great' 'blessed' teaching institution.

"Hmmm?"

"What did you find out that you need that projection thing?"

"…"

The president had already figured out whatever I was going to show them with the help of the head artifact that projected the things on one's mind, was not something they were going to like.

He had a bad feeling about this… and he was right to have those bad feelings.

"The three of them weren't the only ones that had Fragmantin attached to their minds."

It took me time since the place was so big that there were more than a thousand people present there.

'I had to use many of my 'questions' for some of the things.'

Lucy knew the severity of the situation so she was doing all she can to help me, but even she wasn't omnipotent or omniscient yet.

She was just a skill that existed inside of me, so she didn't even have enough freedom to use her abundant knowledge and powers to their actual strength.

'I was getting stronger, but along with me, she was getting better and more versatile as well.'

It shouldn't be long before she is able to live on her own apart from me if her growth continues like this… but that day should still be a distance away.

"The blues are the individuals present inside Kaksha, the Green are the teachers, Yellow knights, and the red are important authorities whose ranks are divided by the sizes of the dots."

What we found out in that underground area was shocking already, but what I came to know after spending the last few hours investigating that place… was so shocking even I'm finding this hard to believe.

"And, the black aura that you see around them indicates the spread of Fragmantin in their astral bodies."

It was absurd since there were tens of people side from those three children that were affected by this dangerous curse, but, what made things more dangerous…

"Oh shit…"

"No way. Really?"

"But how can someone-."

"He's the highest authority of that place. And the cheapest thing a God could possess."

They were stunned after seeing this as well…

And, I'm pretty sure even the headmaster will find this new data as absurd as the rest of us did.
