Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 208 Conclusion And Her Gift

[[ "She is amazing~!" ]] Zoe said in my mind while I was fighting my dear sister during her first [ZONE].

And Zoe had just said the words in my mouth.

-Clank!

[[ "She definitely is..." ]] I replied with a genuine smile and blocked her sword slash.

We weren't using any fancy things anymore and just fighting with the basics of the sword.

She was using her best weapon, the flaming sword, so she mainly used slash, thrust, and cuts but, I could only use thrusts to attack with Asta.

She was strong, and I meant it.

I knew just how strong I was and just how strong my special Aura was.

I already knew it was strange for me not to have achieved Aura after going through that hell and her hell-like training but, I wasn't thinking much about it.

I had seen my master's Aura and aside from the fact that it was amazing, there wasn't much to it.

I loved her Solnova more than her Aura and mostly her white flames.

My Aura was a rare kind but people didn't know there existed a third kind to the Aura other than [Dark impure] or [White pure].

This had been lost in ancient times and aside from beings like my master, no other can use this kind of Aura anymore.

That was the kind of Aura she had, the most powerful and one that I won't be seeing from now.

She called it [Absolute Aura].

And it was the last stage of this natural energy.

Above the ranks of [King], there were two more ranks and if I said the [King] rank was the highest a mortal can reach, then the other two would be [Demi-god] and [Knight God] ranking knights.

Well, anyway, I had this special kind of Aura and she was still facing me for the last three minutes.

There was a time limit of [ZONE] and it varied from experience, the goal, and the person themselves.

And as this was her first time in this state, any more than three minutes was too much for her.

Not that she was weak or anything but, overexerting more than we had already done was pointless.

I was using a pseudo divine artifact covered in an Aura far fiercer than her own.

And even though her Aura focused on power and burning, when it clashed with mine that was focused on defense and destruction, just the impact was enough to cause internal injuries.

And even after her strengthening skill, I knew she was just giving her all at this moment.

Well, we both were enjoying this one and the smile on her face was enough for me.

And I knew if I don't end this one now, she will just push herself unnecessarily.

This was just a spar, after all, we can do this some other time if we wanted.

And if things continued as they were, her precious sword would just break from my Aura attack.

So...

Looking into her eyes and smiling while moving back, I nodded, and she knew this was the end of the fight.

And she wasn't just going to give me this victory without doing all she could. So… she also moved back, and we both gathered more Aura at the edges of our weapons.

Tanking positions, we prepared for the last attacks of this lifelong awaited spar.

'Arrow fencing: Final thrust.'

'Last swordplay, third stance, One strike!'

Both our bodies shot forward with the weapons shining fiercely in our hands.

Stretching my hand back, gathering my strength, when the distance between us was perfect, I thrust my weapon forward.

She was the same, and she had moved the red sword in the form of a slash and when I thrust forward, she slashed her blade.

There was still that smile on our faces, and this battle had been amazing.

Two weapons collided, and an explosion shook the last remaining green barrier from its impact.

-Booooom!

-Swish!

-Crash-!!

And after the blast, both our bodies were thrown back as we both crashed at the end of the stage on the walls.

The parents in the pavilion stood up with fear-filled eyes as they heard this and even tried to come down, but, thankfully, our grandparents stopped them and said it was fine.

And we were fine. No need to worry, at the very least.

The smoke covered up, and now we were visible. Plastered on the walls.

Gathering my strength and managing to stand up, I took out the red potion and gulped it down.

The strength I lost started returning and the wounds covering my body despite the protection gear started healing in an instant.

She, on the other hand, had less strength and although she was fine, she can't get up from the place she had fallen.

Her blade was resting beside her and although her clothes were fine, she was also covered in wounds.

Welp, this was a spar, but we got over-excited for no reason.

But, well, there was a smile on her face as she thought about what things had just happened.

This was an amazing fight, even for me, and she was a strong opponent.

'[Quickstep]'

Appearing on the other side of the arena, I also lay down beside her after putting a lime green potion between us.

"What's this?" She asked while still looking at the barrier ceiling that they almost destroyed during this fight.

They both were laying down like this but the entire stadium, from the ground to half of the defensive magic system, had been obliterated.

Not that it was a problem but, the countless blades covering the entire ground seemed like the 'graveyard of swords'.

,m Well, they can be collected later.

"An advanced potion made by yours truly. Try it~. it tastes good~." I answered, just looking up like her.

Anna had enjoyed this fight dearly, and I could see just how overjoyed she was right now with my third eye.

Zoe was also having fun with that little one and Rein.

I wasn't watching her particularly, but, from the way she was sighing with that excited smile and worried eyes, strangely looked cute.

Mom and her mom, my beautiful first aunt, were sighing in relief and our dad was patting their backs to calm their hearts.

Alf also had admiration-filled eyes, but he wasn't as excited as he had been in the dining room… quite a normal reaction.

The old group was looking down at us with a helpless smile.

At some distance, grandpa Zhen was starting the collection of all the blades on the ground.

The long battle had ended quickly, and things were now ok.

Well, we all knew who won, so there was no need to think too much.

"Hmm~. This actually is good." She exclaimed with delight at the special potion and her wounds started healing as her strength would be back in a moment.

"You are amazing~, Carla. I would definitely lose to you in a physical fight~." I said in a genuine voice and she shook her head with a smile at those words.

"You bastard. I know you didn't even go all out in your physical strength. You even barely used any magic, too.

You are this good in all these things, and even then, you say I can defeat you...

You are amazing, little Eon. And thanks for this amazing fight. I had a blast~!"

Her voice was cheerful now, just like how it had always been.

Yes, this was the Carla I knew.

"Me too. That was an amazing 'spar', hehe." Giggling in a low voice as I got back up and looked at the lazy sister, who didn't want to get up.

I asked if she had any plans to get up, but she just smirked at me and just stayed there.

"Hmmm... well, we can't help it then," I smirked back and snapped my finger.

Her body floated without her will, and she started floating.

"Hmmm? H-hey! Put me down, y-you bastard!" She shouted, and I chucked on her flabbergasted face.

She was cute, too.

"Yes, yes." Putting her back on her feet, she now stood before me.

There was anger in those blue eyes from this sudden prank, but she just sighed and extended her hand for a handshake.

Accepting this handshake with honor, I nodded at her.

"Had to use 60% of my physical strength, far more for what I needed for a creature of almost (Blue) rank.

Thanks, big sister. I mean it when I say you are amazingly strong.

And you will definitely surpass me with sword and strength."

She also agreed with this one and shook my hand with joy and respect.

"I will. I will surpass you and even grandpa one day. Just look forward to it.

And this was just the first spar. Let's do something like this regularly when we have time~."

I nodded in agreement and took back my hand.

"Definitely. I am honored to have someone so great as a sparing partner.

This was fun, so-

Ah... I almost forgot."

Suddenly remembering something and called out my white crack and took out something I promised before this fight.

"Take this. Try feeling him."

Passing her the greatsword with both my hands, I looked as she just accepted it with one hand.

"Holy oceans... Eon? Where the hell did you get your hands on such... treasure?" She asked as she accepted the great sword and caressed its blade with her other hand.

A magnificent sword from our weaponry that grandma herself created.

A silver blade with an ocean blue body decorated with the hard scales of an aquatic creature and with a sharp tail at the end of the handle.

The whole greatsword gave off a cool feeling and, as soon as she held this marvelous sword, her eyes widened in surprise.
