Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer
Chapter 536 Entering The Real Battlefield
[Rein's POV: ]
Bob was a really amazing creature, and I had to talk with the old tree about him. But that was for later.
Right now, we had a test to finish and two bastards to crush. And for us to do that, we still needed a little preparation.
'Going against catastrophes would naturally be more difficult than these draconian and holy creatures that were practically caught off guard. And Bob, according to how much I can tell from its current state, will die after using a move with the same intensity as this one.'
They were illusions created within these four walls after all. They had inherent limits that actually made them far weaker than their originals.
However greater the strength, the greater would be the restrictions on their use of this strength in this room.
'Just like how that giant turtle can't use any of his actual skills or how that mantis won't be able to use more than what he innately possesses, every creature here had the limitation of the projection room, and that was the main reason Bob was able to cut the drake and wyvern down even with their hard scales.'
His attack power exceeded the threshold they can withstand, making them nothing less than a piece of soft meat before a sharp knife.
But the same can't be done to those two creatures inside the demonic energy domain.
They were in a league of their own, beings that can't just be defeated with brute force.
To kill them, we needed something more. Something whole that the three of them individually possessed…
"Now Bob."
The humanoid Bob looked in my direction as if looking at me, and the smile on his face also vanished with his mouth, becoming featureless completely.
Then he sat on one knee respectfully, his hand on his area where most human hearts should be, and I could feel the great reverence and sincerity from those actions.
'UwU~. Cool!'
This was cool and again, shocking for my fellow students.
"Anyway, start analyzing the powers of the swan first. Learn about the holy energy and corresponding light element, then start with the…"
I gave him the next set of instructions and he listened to them quietly as if he understood everything I was saying on the spot instead of needing long, detailed commands.
'This bastard had grown more than I expected, but too bad he is only here temporarily.'
But my main objective here was clear.
"Ok? Start the plunder then~."
He looked back up with even greater admiration now and bowed respectfully for the last time.
'That's cool for sure.'
Then my Bob went before the corpse of the swan he had killed beautifully and extended his hand with long, creepy fingers before it.
-Ooooooooong!
Everyone saw a dot of light materialize before his hands, and just after that, that dot started getting bigger and brighter.
-Swish!
Another light started coming out of the corpse's body, feathers, and other elements and went inside the ball of light before his hands...
They had at least guessed at this point that the creature was stealing that brilliant light from the dead swan which was just as absurd as him killing them in mere moments.
They were shocked by this scene which seemed to be a winner claiming his rewards from the defeated. But it was more than that.
'This was the preparation for the true battle that had yet to begin inside that demonic energy zone.'
Origin Dracoudines and Aquario Scythus Majin. A turtle and a mantis. One with demonic power and the other bearing an original pinnacle skill.
Both were opponents that couldn't be faced alone without proper preparation, especially that mantis.
'I really wanted to use that one, damn!'
It was a creature few in the world knew about… until a while ago. Now our entire class and probably after that, the whole school would know about it.
'Which I know would be a problem the headmaster would have to look after.'
But it was fine for now, and he was done with the first corpse.
-Ooooooooong!

============
"Good, good. Move on to the wyvern, and then the drake."
The battle inside the demonic energy zone was starting, and everyone, even with all the shock, was now focusing inside the dark zone where the white mantis had vanished, leaving my Bob to his own little stuff because he was too much for their fragile brains to fathom.
Still, it sure was quite a sight inside that demonic energy zone…
-Boooooooooooooom!
The mantis, as I knew, made his move first and his destination was the left back leg of the giant turtle.
'Bastards.'
One was using a creature he shouldn't in this first class while the other bastard was using the one I wanted to use before.
'It won't be painless…'
Just seeing and hearing it would give them enough sensation to gasp for air. That would the minimum! For now!
But let's look at the turtle Vs mantis till Bob's finished with his work.
…
The turtle was silent after its breath and it was hungry, as it always is.
So it started with the soil and took away all the natural energy from the ground, turning the already dark place into something only found in the demonic plains it came from.
After the ground came the sky and the atmosphere, and after it absorbed all the natural energies from there, the grayish, cloud-covered sky turned into a pitch black that was murky and unsightly, different from the pure night sky.
The giant draconic-origin-demonic turtle was still ever-hungry like usual so it turned its attention to the last living being in its zone, the white mantis that must have strangely seemed delicious to it.
The mantis was a unique creature, and an anomaly just like the big turtle, but different from it, this bug was pure, too pure that it possessed the pinnacle skill [Purity].
This purity referred to its will to keep nature pure and devoid of any unnatural element, and the ones who possessed this particular skill were beings that were the most threatening to any unnatural elements such as demons.
The reason the information about them was so restricted was also because of this reason but, they actually didn't have as much information about them as my darling.
That bastard knew just too much about too many things.
'I should punish him when we go back home after the classes and other stuff's over.'
[[ Master…? Be sure to not push him too much or else you might be the one getting punished. ]]
[[ I know that the best. Don't worry. ]]
-Boooooooooooooom!
The mantis reappeared out of nowhere after preparing for his next few attacks and the first thing he did was jump off the ground and step on air, and jump off again, and again, and reach the top point visible to others, jumped again for the last time, and slashes the hard scale area of that part, jamming the tip of his scythe-like front limbs there, and jolting them with force, taking out the scale itself, revealing a strange, spot in that place.
Others can't see this but they could certainly hear-
-KHEAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Another loud scream which seemed to pierce the heavens.
And this one was filled with agony and pain, suffering and anger that they didn't understand could come from a creature of that caliber.
It was also filled with power, and if this creature was real, the force from this kind of scream would have been more than enough to demolish all of the creatures in a far bigger area than its demonic energy zone.
It was a dangerous scream, but the mantis had taken out a weak scale from his body, something we could compare with a reverse dragon scale, so that scream was certainly understandable.
But this wasn't actually some ultimate weak point like some fantastical reverse scale that could kill the creature with some damage.
If anything this was just a weak spot on its enormous body that can be simply disregarded.
But it was a weak spot for certain, and the turtle didn't have all its powers and skills so it couldn't also completely regenerate its weak scale quickly.
The mantis knew it the best… just like how I knew how much fucked they were when my Bob finished absorbing the skills and attributes of the two draconic creatures.
============
~~~> Bob has absorbed the attributes, skills, and characteristics of the draconic creatures.
~~~> The new knowledge of draconic beings are resonating with already present natural and holy energies.
~~~> Bob has gained new knowledge and has received another enlightenment!
~~~> Bob is awakening the origin powers of his innate nature!
============
"Hehehe… Bob, oh Bobby ~."
It was time to take those two bastards down.
And the first one to suffer today is naturally that back-bench bastard!
"Kekekeke…!"
