Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 843: Witchcraft application

[OP: ]

"You don't know how to use witchcraft properly."

"What?"

She had just arrived at the outskirts of the island and her new mentor, Lady Sapphire was sitting on a comfortable golden fair under an umbrella, drinking a fresh bravarage.

There was not many things that she had around her aside from a pile of monster corpses in a corner but they weren't as attractive as her self drinking that lusuerly in this dangerous place.

"What… what do you mean by that."

She had just arrived here and she hadn't even greeted her yet, but here she was telling her that she couldn't use her witchcraft properly.

"The famous bloodthirsty witch right? I knew I've seen you somewhere before."

"What?"

She came closer to her and stood before her with a stunned expression.

"You know about me?"

"How could I not? You are the reason I've lost hundreds of thousands in old currency, you know?"

"Hmmm…? You used to be a war merchant?"

Her other name of the bloodthirsty witch was only famous a few decades ago so there wasn't that many who remembered her, certainly not that many on this island that was never part of any of those lower level conflicts.

There should not have been many who knew about her in the first place but, as her mentor, she needed to know a few things and there were a few things that she found out herself with her connections.

There were few things that were just too easy for her to find out, so it wasn't that surprising to her that she knew about her.

Though, from how she said she had lost money because of her, there was only one conclusion that she could make.

"Not really. Well, I was the one that loaned money to the war merchants that wanted to make it big by the conflicts.

There was no way those kingdoms were going to win any of those wars but then there was a mercenary that one sidedly massacred armies upon armies of trained soldiers.

I've lost a total of three hundred thousand nine hundred fifty one platinum in current day empire currency… but I'm not asking you to pay that up.

It's not like you were the one that ate all those money. It was those dumb bastard that ended up losing their precious items."

She smirked and took another sip of her drink and then, she snapped her finger.

-Ooooooooooooong.

There was a golden light right beside her, that somehow turned into a fountain of fluid gold, and in a moment, that gold materialised into a chair similar to the one she was sitting on.

There was not many special things about this chair, but one thing that Rein noticed was how this matter was not converted from something else.

That gold was only energy, her energy that took shape of a matter and not just a materialised form of her energy.

It was a matter of some other kind, a physical object that was generated from energy…

"That stunned look is exactly the reason I'm saying you don't know how to use the Witchcraft itself. Not just your specific one, but what all of Us possess."

She urged her to take a seat and though she was still stunned by what she had just witnessed, she forced herself to close her mouth and sat down on the special chair.

"How…"

"Don't ask me the basic questions, sweetheart. You don't know practically anything since you are one of the younger ones who have never been part of any communities."

"Communities? You mean witch communities…?"

"Oh? You know about them?"

Now the shock had converged into confusion and she did not how to see this whole situation.

"I… do. Eon told me about them but-."

"Oh. I see. So that cutie knows more about us than you, hun?"

She cut her off mid sentence and smirked in a way that Rein did not like it at all, but there was nothing she could do about this at the moment.

She was still confused how there was someone else before her mentioning something he said probably no one else would know about.

"Well, this is good, I think?"

The witches in the far ancient world were an object of worship.

In this world, as well as in the other planets, there was no mortal that dared to even look at them the same way they looked at the other mortal beings of any status.

In some parts of the world, they held the same positions as the lords and gods did in the current time, and there was also some of the places where the witches possessed absolute authority.

They were unique entities that, after the degradation of the other higher species, were the only surviving beings that still possessed the unique powers of their kind, the power of witchcraft, the power to interface with the fabric of reality.

"You know about the Last apocalypse, right?"

"Yes… he told me about it…"

In a very distant past that is not known by many of this world, an apocalypse had hit the world… the ones who know about it call it the (Sixth) or the (Pre-Present) apocalypse.

In the entire unknown history of this world, it had been 'almost' destroyed six times by beings so disastrous that only a few had ever survived after fighting against them.

"Good. Then you must also know about the people that stopped that creature of Destruction?"

"Yes…"

The creatures that possessed the power to destroy the whole world who had actually managed to destroy it were called the (Disastrous creatures apocalypse).

The natural phenomenon that brought the world to ruin in various ages was called the (Harbingers of Extinction).

The individuals, on the other hand, who possessed powers to do the same, are labelled (Walkers of periphery).

There is no one like that in the current age, yet, and all the forces present in this world who had succeeded those who once stopped the ones like these Walkers, or those disasters, do not ever wish the world to face anyone like them again either.

"The witches of (Original cauldron). That's what they were called."

He had told her about the few witch societies that had still survived after the Last apocalypse was defeated by the last reaming witch groups.

It was a unique creature that almost ended a third of the world population and it had only happened a found a few millennium ago so there were still a few beings in this world who could testify to it.

Those witches sacrificed themselves for the protection of this world since they were the only ones who could deal with them, and they did so with all they had on the line.

"The witches declined greatly after that point, and… the world was in a disarray."

The plumber of witches had declined abnormally after that point.

There were never that many wizards in this world so the pure blooded witches were rarely born even then, but after the decline of the witches, there were not many societies of witches that existed either.

"Only six societies of witches remained.

Two of witch are now active in the eastern continent, one in the north, and one is active in this continent right now.

While the remaining ones are a group of wanderers who do not stay in a certain place for long."

He had said the same things to her, and he had explained how these two wandering witch societies possess some of the greatest forces currently present in all four of the life-bearing planets of this solar system combined.

They are unique individuals who do not usually accept any other in their group while even the four that are present in this world, are cautious of the society of the current age.

"The witch societies look after the young witches and there is always someone looking after the younger ones who had not awakened their witchcraft."

Everyone in this world knew how dangerous the power to alter the very reality that one lives in was.

And the witches were the only beings who possessed this world altering powers.

They were still feared, but they did not possessed as much authority in this world as they did in the past, resulting in a general negative view towards them.

"Though, in cases like yours…"

She looked into her eyes with a little calm smile, and spoke up in a gentle voice.

"When there are capable people already looking after the witches, capable people who know how to raise them and how to make them understand the meaning of the powers that they will possess one day, they keep their distance from them."

He had already told her about this, but she still could not get used to the fact that there were people who could have helped her in the time that she was suffering by herself after her mother passed away.

But, she had accepted their reasoning already.

"Seems like your 'darling' already told you their reasons, hun? He sure is an amazing one as well."

She was impressed… but that was it.

"Then, you must surely understand why they do it?"

"For the independent growth of the witches."

When a witch is part of the witch society, much like any other society of individuals with common interests and beliefs, they also learn from those who already know about their craft.

They learn about themselves, their kind, and their powers.

"Right."

-Oooooooooong!

Lady Sapphire conjured her special golden power that, instead of resembling any kind of Mana, or Aura, or something that she could recognise, seemed to be simple gold in a liquid form.

"You've never learned about your powers from anyone else properly.

All you can do right now is self taught, and, I'd say you've done a great job with that.

Your talent is monstrous from our perspective."

She clenched her fist and the unique gold energy disappeared.

"But you still do not know the true Applications of your witchcraft."

She glared at her seriously this time.

"I was a kind of genius myself so it only took me a few decades to master the basics, but… we don't have decades or even a year together."

Just like how Rein could see the quantified data of this individual with her eyes, lady Sapphire could see many things about her that no normal eyes could have been able to perceive.

"All we have are a few months, a few weeks give or take. And there is a lot to learn."

One of the things she could see in the deep pink eyes of the one sitting beside her, was her bottomless desire to learn and get better than she was right now, better than she would be after getting better than she was at the moment.

"You should prepare yourself, Reinelle sweetheart.

This training is not going to be anything simple, or easy, or painless.

You will have to work very hard if you want to learn as much as possible from me in this limited time we have together."

She loved that look in her eyes.

That hunger.

That blazing flame of passion.

And she was not going to waste the time she was given when she could instead have someone so amazing all to herself…
