Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

The memory started playing on its own, something that rarely happens.

'An emergency memory.'

Something I would have to know in that specific situation or something that would give me an upper hand in whatever kind of situation I was in.

'Looks like the place… but where's she?'

I was transported to the same place I usually see when I am experiencing the memories she had left behind for me in Lucy.

There were times when I first see different things unrelated to the situation or things that would connect to the elements before me later, but, this wasn't one of those unique times.

This was the empty white place where she sits on her usual chair and tells me or shows me some things, but, she was not here right now.

The place was the same, no different-

[{ *Master, look over there.* }]

Lucy's voice wanted me to turn right, so I did after focusing my eyes a little, I suddenly spotted what appeared to be light.

'What's that?'

It was strange how there was something else other than this whiteness or master in this place.

This was the first time I was seeing something like this… and, it was the first time I was able to move in this place.

'Damn?'

My body wasn't frozen in my place, and I wasn't restricted to observing from a certain place either.

I could float as if I was in the astral realm, I could move here, and go from one point to the other.

'Let's take a look at that first.'

I did not know what was happening but, it wasn't impossible right now.

There was something happening with Rein and I had to go back quickly.

Finishing whatever I had to in this place was the priority so, if there was a light, I was meant to go see it.

[{ *It feels strange… I feel someone else beside us here.* }]

'Someone else? What do you-'

-Ooooooooooooooooooong!

We had reached the light so I thought we would see what we had to see but, instead of seeing something, the light that was coming from only a little crack in the space, broke down and shattered the space around us completely!

-Boooooooooooom!

The very next moment, we were transported to place that looked to be outer space with complete dark around us and in the distance, a planet being visible.

There were star like objects present in the distance but, more than those star like objects, this specific planet before us was more interesting thing.

'It's not our planet.'

[{ "It seems to be like some distant planet from our solar system." }]

'Is there life on that planet? It seems pretty similar to ours, don't you think?'

[{ *Certainly… I can tell there is— used to be life there. But as it is right now…* }]

The entire planet before us… it was on fire.

It was burning.

It was moving through space, rotating on its exis faster than our planet, and it had two moons around it from what we can see.

And excluding both of them, the entire planet was burning.

'The scene before us could be explained as someone having poured fuel on top of this planet and set it aflame.'

It was strange how everything on the planet's land area was burning while the sea area looked like someone slashed a blade in a piece of paper to test the blade's sharpness.

It was a strange scenery…

[{ *Ah… master, look closely.* }]

Somehow, we could see everything happening on this planet even from this distance so we could see the ones who had caused that catastrophe.

'Aren't they…?'

Someone was fighting on the burning land in a way demons are depicted fighting gods or angels in the old epics.

But, instead of Angel or a god, there was a demon with wings of light behind her, fighting a creature so ginormous it was visible even from this height.

'What the hell?'

The demon was dancing around like some celestial dancer dancing in the divine court of some high primodial god while the creature she was fighting left destruction everywhere it passed.

Things were destroyed from its mere presence and, even the burning fire was burned further with the land that started spewing the hottest materials from its mouth.

[ *Remember them…* ]

A saw a smile present on the face of the demon when I heard that voice. Master's voice.

[ *This was their first meeting where they ended up destroying not just this planet, but everything around it as well.* ]

The creature she was fighting seemed out of focus as it wasn't landing any hits even with its countless legs and that green flame breaking mouth.

[ *They fell in love right after this, made love for an eon, and returned as a pair. The worst one We ever had.* ]

The creature was districted by something. And since there wasn't anything else to get distracted by, it was most certainly distracted by the opponent it was facing.

The crazy opponent with that crazy smile…

[ *Remember them, Eon. They will find you one day.* ]

The entire planet was being destroyed because of them.

[ *They will tell you what you need to know, not everything that you will be allowed to know… hear them out.* ]

She was telling me to do something so, there was certainly a meaning behind it. A meaning that was ultimately favourable to me.

[ *You don't have to trust them if you don't want to, but, join them.* ]

The scene before me started getting blurry…

[ *Join them, and when the time comes… they will tell you… about Us.* ]

And before long, I found myself back to the present, facing them who had an astonished look, and a blade of scythe around their necks.

"See? We told you we didn't do anything to him! Just like we did nothing to you! Hump!"

Albert had an upset expression as he pushed her scythe away from their neck with his finger.

"Eon?"

She was looking at me, her face was red, it looked like she was about to cry at any moment and from the looks of it, she had misunderstood something.

"You dummy…"

A sign escaped my mouth as I shook my head, stood up, grabbed her hand that made her retract Nept back inside her, and dragged her back to her place.

"They… didn't they…?"

"They what? They did nothing to either of us. It was a misunderstanding so sit down."

I didn't shout at her this time, since it was a situation where misunderstanding was obvious. I would have done the same in her shoes.

"Phew. I almost thought we would have to deal with her ourselves."

"Please don't do that."

I at least knew what the two of them were now… catastrophes.

"Hmm? Huhuhu~. Looks like you saw a vision of the past like her or something, didn't you~? Just like her~.

You can see the things that happened and the things that will~ hahaha! How amusing~."

Perhaps, just like the Keeper Azmail, the two of them also did not know about Lucy's existence. At least not how she carried the ability to show me the memories and messages of my master.

"She was irreplaceable back in the days. Everyone relied on her and she always complained… she mostly cursed at us for being the slacker duo, hahahaha."

The creature that could destroy a planet all by itself was reminiscing about their past good times that were giving me goosebumps right now.

We were practically sitting before beings that could fight gods on their own! Killing us off wasn't something that would require even a weapon in their hands!

"Haha, right? She complained all the time while doing everything for anyone~. Ahhh~ the good old days. How I wish-"

"Wali. The children…"

"…right. Ahem."

Looks like they were done reminiscing about their sweet past.

"Back to the point."

"Please."

Because Albert said something, Rein had awakened some new power related to her eyes.

'Her eyes now had a unique glow that they did not a moment ago so whatever she experienced a moment ago, helped her in some way.'

And what I experienced showed me just how we should never mess with either of these crazy people.

"We were talking about divinity and I told you about the sources, but then Albert came and things went south so, let's just pick up from the divinity part."

-Oooooooooooooooong.

She called forth a unique kind of energy on the tip of her finger with well trimmed nails.

"Divinity is the first proof of someone who has gone beyond the limits of mortality."

The energy she was creating was yellow and looked like the holy power that priests usually use to cure wounds.

-Oooooooooooooooooong.

"It is also the proof of identity for those who were born with it." Albert added after her as he, too, called forth a unique kind of green power on top of his fingertip with long nails.

"Any element of this great nature could achieve the status of the divine if they wish for it sincerely enough and work to achieve it."

The two of them brought their fingers together, and the two distinct powers that looked completely different from one another, combined with one another and created a harmonious mix that contained threads of both of their energies… that could not mix together.

"Divine energy as a concept is same for every being possessing it, but, all divine energies are different and special only to their possessors, or the ones they have permitted their powers."

They shared a kiss without hesitation even though we were having a mental crisis on our end here. Thankfully their kiss only lasted for a few seconds.

"Individual divinity earned with achievements, individual divinity passed down from a higher being, individual divinity earned with pure will and efforts." Her words contained power.

"Borrowed divinity granted by a higher being temporarily, Divinity gained with external items, or the divinity earned through the acknowledgement of a stigma as well." His voice was gentle.

"Whatever the way or the source may be, all those who have the divinity are eligible to step forward into the next stage and use it for enhancement or enchantment, create divine skills or True techniques as we call it, and lastly to gain a [Original Title] form the Nature."

She stopped for a moment and looked at both of us directly.

They both did, actually.

"And those who possess these [Original Titles] a one of a kind 'name' in this entire Nature… they are the only ones who receive the [{( Final Qualification )}]." She said with a serious voice.

"The qualification to challenge the quest to know it all… and meet Her." He added behind her.

"Her…?"

"Nature."

"The Creator, the one who maintains it all… 'Her' first Avatar that exists beyond the Great Center."

"…"

"…"

Am I allowed to know this shit?
