Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[[ It's dark~! ]]

"It sure is. Well, we have lived in a dark forest for quite a while so this much is alright."

[[ Hmmm~. Will there be big monsters like them here too? ]]

"I don't think so. That place was far more dangerous than this one. There might be monsters but, it should be manageable."

[[ I will protect master~! ]]

"Just like you always do..."

[[ Hehehe~. ]]

After we fell to who knows where, Celes and I started surveying the place.

We at least knew that this tomb was divided into different sections and there were straight paths leading to the center, although filled with countless different traps, monsters, and unknown things.

Well, thankfully, both of us were alright.

[[ "Any changes for you?" ]]

[[ "Nope. The same path that grandma and I cleared previously. You are really alright, right?" ]]

Now she reminded me of my worried mom, cute...

[[ "I am. I have my strong guardian Celestine. What can happen to me~?" ]]

[[ Hehehe. Yes~! Master is safe, so don't worry sister Elle~! ]]

Rein always had one of Celes's clones with her and we can always talk with this origin communication line that worked even in places like this tomb where not even some artifact might function properly.

Celes's ability to create clones, leave them with a person, and use the connection of the clone, her main body, and me, to create a super stable communication line was terrific.

I had anticipated something like this separation at the very least, so we both knew what to do in situations where we get separated and do not know what to do at all.

[[ "Please take care of that fool Celes..." ]]

[[ "You don't have to tell her, you know, right? I can reach the bedroom of that bastard before you, so just get the coin ready." ]]

[[ "Reach there before me? I think you are mistaken, darling. You are the one in a dark and unknown place. Who knows, that one might be the longest route. Hehehe. I already know what comes on this path. I will reach there before you, so get my second coin ready~." ]]

Making this chaotic situation a game... was better than feeling distressed at the separation.

And if this cute friend of mine was thinking that her path would be the same as before… I will pray that she cusses a bit less. Not that these prayers would be heard by anyone.

[[ "We will see that one. Celes, let's start. ]]

'Mana vision.'

[[ Yes~~. ]]

My special vision skill, the Mana vision. I can confidently say that I survived in that damn dark forest thanks to this one skill.

I had this skill only that's why I was able to avoid countless 'bad things' and witness some of the very amazing sceneries in that hellish forest.

============

[Mana vision]

---> A rare skill of (Yellow) ranked creature, (Mirror owl).

---> One can see in different environments, heighten sensitivity to a different wavelength of light, and mainly see 'clearly'.

---> The power of skill depends on the natural power of eyes and depending on the eye ability and natural construction, the skill can show great powers.

---> In your holy case, the normal skill becomes a skill on par with the (Purple) ranked eye skill.

---> Maybe it is so fraudulent that you can practically see in any environment, be it too dark or too bright. Maybe even in places with a unique wavelength or frequency of light.

---> This skill... Hump! It's just a weak skill that can is only so good because of us!

[Mana consumption: 15 M.P.]

============

'Of course. Don't I always say you are the best~?'

So, well, I had a vision skill that made this grave darkness meaningless.

We started walking forward. There was nothing on this big cave path, anyway.

I had already used (: Scan) as soon as I safely crashed here. The force that pulled me was great enough that I couldn't do anything.

There wasn't anything here aside from the sharp rock corners and great darkness.

Well, that voice we heard before my fall definitely knew that I could use light attributes.

It must be the evil spirit, the famous undead creature we were here for if it sensed only the light attribute.

The reaction would have been much different if it could have sensed all the six attributes in a single body.

Not that it was that easy.

I hid the attribute energy with my Solnova all the time so if someone is not at least at the level of an (Elder) or has an extremely high affinity with a certain attribute; it wasn't possible for them to sense my six attribute harmonious affiliates.

It meant the voice that ridiculed my dear Rein and threatened her in their own language, was a strong undead that felt an instinctive fear of the faint traces of light attributed on me.

'Well, the undead feared light and holy energy the most in this whole world. They could cope with the even rare darkness power, but not the light.'

Darkness attribute magic also damaged undead and evil creatures, but light attribute magic and skills actually hurt them. It was painful.

They felt like burning from the inside out because of the light attribute magic and that was the reason even the lowest level light attribute magic was dangerous for them.

"But light attributes have a great disadvantage... when in lower stages, it can't actually hurt normal energy beasts.

The actual powerful destruction series light attribute spells require a lot of Mana, talent, and greater calculations.

The rare light attribute possessors are coveted by many people, but they can only heal others or deal damage to undead creatures and demons.

In normal beast hunting, they are as weak as a normal human as light attribute magic of lower tier doesn't contain any destructive power at all.

And that definitely was the reason... the evil spirit threw me into this place that most definitely contained normal energy beasts.

"That evil spirit definitely is smart."

It was very smart for an undead, so it was possible that it was as good as or maybe even better than normal humans.

The cave was dark, but it was easy to walk thanks to my dear eyes.

I walked forward, and after a while… met my very first opponents.

They were energy beasts, ferocious ones, no less.

If any other light attribute user, even an adult (tier-4) mage, were here, they would do their best to just run away from here.

'Actually, their light magic used in an attempt to see in this darkness would attract them first. And the sudden ambush would definitely kill them.'

There were tens of them from what I can tell with my (: Scan). And they were just a little distance from here.

"They are strong creatures that-"

[[ Master~! There are some small weak creatures with long noses ahead of us! Let's kill them~! ]]

"...yes, yes."

They were definitely strong, from a normal person's point of view.

They were actually beasts that lived in the outside forests and I had no idea why the hell they were here, but now; they were before me. So... this was their last day.

They had lost their will from the looks in their eyes, anyway.

They were also some of the very famous beings that have many tribes that vary from the level of intelligence they possess.

The ones before me, however, were the lowest of their kind...

[[ There~! ]]

The sight of those wild, hungry, and mad-looking beasts entered my vision, and their green skin, humanoid small bodies, ragged, dirty clothes, and weak weapons...

'They kind of look weak and miserable.'

"Three eyes."

============

[Yellow-eyed green goblins]

Strength: 45

Dexterity: 51

Stamina: 47

Magic Power: 54

Intelligence: 9

[Skills: Heavy slam, Fight, scream, Steal, Evil laugh, Light adaptation.]

---> Weak creature. You already know most of the things about them.

---> There's no need to waste much time. Just finish this quickly.

[Brainwashed].

============

"Right. No need to waste much time. Let's finish them and move forward."

Taking out a normal (level-9) magic bow artifact, and my silver quiver, I looked at the...

"One, two, three... fifty-seven. There are quite a lot, actually. And many of them have the [Steal] skill. People would pay hundreds of gold for it. Let's hope we find one or two."

[[ *Two skill stones? Well... there's nothing wrong in hoping. I hope you can find three skill stones.* ]]

[[ Master will definitely get skill stones~! ]]

'Rein isn't here, so the chances might actually be higher.'

I wouldn't say this in front of her. I really meant it when I say her punch hurts... she's strong.

Anyway, mindless creatures were wandering in a small place like this. Devoid of any emotions, and just moving on their instincts.

They were (Orange) ranked creatures and naturally should have good intelligence but, in this specific bunch, it was too low... the result of a high-level brainwashing skill.

Well, I should give them rest...

Holding my bow, standing some distance away from these light-sensitive goblins, preparing my body, fingers, and some Mana, I controlled my breathing.

I didn't need many great preparations for this bunch...

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

They were definitely much weaker than their perfect self.
