Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer Chapter 700 Origin awakening

[Eon's POV: ]

I knew it was dangerous.

That I did not have enough strength to keep going.

That I was too weak to use any more strength, or borrow the strength from sothing else and use it with this body of mine.

I knew it, and I also knew there was no real need to risk my own life just to 'help' the people who were already far stronger than I am right now.

I knew it.

Just Lady Madeleine was enough to take care of sothing like a corrupted lich, and with Master Maverick being there, there really was no need for to get involved at all since if push ca to shove, they would have used their powers very carefully and defeated that thing anyway.

They were strong and smart enough to do that much. However, the real reason I wanted to do this, to risk my life and do one more attack, was because of the strange feeling born deep inside of .

'It was unexplainable…'

It started right after I used the power of the world tree's branch, the power of the purest kind of Amrita that I had never used before. A power so strong I could still not wield it myself.

All I could do with this branch was to use it as a tool to channel the energy inside of it to forcefully increase my own energy levels in order to force my body to perform one last thing. One last attack powerful, and effective enough to destroy that dangerous creature.

'At first, it was strange…'

It was as if soone was talking from within , and no it was different from Lucy talking with .

It was as if soone or sothing was talking with the '' inside of . My true self, my ego, my soul… and, it was a bizarre feeling.

'I did not understand it…'

I thought it was just my imagination and ignored it.

Tried to shift my attention to sothing else.

Sothing that was the most important to at the mont.

However, the lich appeared.

And, the feeling beca more intense.

'It was telling to do it once again…'

It was telling to do what I had just done one more ti. To surpass my limits once more. To prepare an attack that was just as powerful as the two spells that I made while risking my life.

'I wanted to avoid it.'

It was a feeling, or perhaps a voice, or perhaps just my imagination.

I was uncertain.

And Lucy did not even know of this, so, there were better chances that it was just my imagination.

However, my body did not think the sa.

'I started doing it before my mind could process it…'

And by the ti I realized I was ready with what I had to do, it was too late to back down.

'It was the first ti in this life I was feeling as if I had lost all control over myself…'

It was strange.

I was doing things I had no intention of doing.

And in the process, I was also convinced I had to do it.

The reason for which, I only understood after my soul was overwheld with the energy that was passing through my body.

'It was the most… the most painful feeling I had ever felt.'

The blood vessels throughout my body were about to burst, my head almost ready to pop like a balloon from the pressure of the mixing energies, my [Dynamic heart] that was still calm in this situation and was trying its best to handle everything by itself, and then there was Lucy, maintaining my mind from falling apart.

The attack was almost ready, I knew it. Just a little more and I would finish it, I knew it as well. However, even though I genuinely wanted to stop this, even though I wanted to stop with everything I had in this mont… the 'voice' inside of , kept telling to endure.

To push a little more.

Just a little more… and for so otherworldly reason, I myself followed the 'feeling' of that voice.

'I pushed myself to the brink of death…'

And, perhaps, I died in the process as well.

That must have been the case if I was seeing sothing this... ethereal.

'The sun.'

Not the sa bright star we see in the sky from dawn to dusk. But the true power source of the universe was depicted in the folklore of ancient tis.

I was standing before that supre entity right now.

At least, that was the most logical thing I could think of at the mont as I stood before this giant fireball that did not only turn hydrogen into helium in order to produce the fuel in its core, but, it also generated all the energies that existed in this world.

'The origin of energies…'

Just like how stories depict the great [[( Void )]] to be the source of all energy present in this world, this Sun, perhaps the representative of that sa true source, was what provided all the energies my world possessed at all tis.

'Pretty…'

I did not know what was happening right now.

I did not know if I was dead already or if this was just a hallucination and I was still standing on the edge of that tower.

I did not understand… I could not comprehend what was happening at the mont, however, as I stood before this colorful giant, I felt complete.

'Complete…'

Once again, it was a bizarre feeling.

And, it beca even more strange when so kind of strings of energy ca out of this gigantic celestial body and, as I saw, connected with my head, my heart, my eyes, and then slowly, with my entire body…

It was at this mont, that I heard that sa 'voice' once again, however, it was not a feeling this ti.

-Oooooooooooooong!

That voice spoke to directly, however, I did not understand what it said.

I definitely know it said sothing, sothing that felt warm, however… I could not understand what it was even after I vanished from that strange space, and opened my eyes before the sa edge of the tower I had been standing on when my vision went blank.

[[ *Master? Have you finally co to your senses?! Master?!* ]]

And then, after what felt like an eternity, I heard her voice once again.

[[ "Big brother?! Are you alright?! Say sothing!" ]]

[[ Masterrrrrrrrrrr! My masterrrrrrrrrr! ]]

Along with two voices I had been expecting to hear already.

[[ "I am fine everyone." ]]

[[ Master! Masterrrrrrrrr! ]]

[[ "Like hell you are fine. I am on my way! I will be there in a mont!" ]]

[[ *Haaaa… the timing was just perfect. As if to have been set by fate itself.* ]]

The bow was still in my hand, and Asta was almost ready to be released as well. Celes was crying on my head, however, different from before… I did not feel like I was going to break apart anymore.

[[ *Origin awaking… it saved you, master.* ]]

'I know. and I have sothing you will find interesting as well, Lucy.'

[[ *Sa, master. Sa.* ]]

I could feel she was glad that I was fine now. I can feel Celes was also happy she did not have to destroy everything in anger and agony at my loss.

Zoe was coming here, and I couldn't stop her.

She knew my life was almost in danger a mont ago.

So, even though she knew I was fine, she was not going to listen to anything I said until she confird that I was all right.

She's always like that and I cannot do anything about her… but, she did not have to worry about anything.

'So Lucy, do you think I am fine enough to do this now?'

[[ *You… you are. However, I do not know how much has changed with that awakening so I will check it first.* ]]

'And while you do that, let do this one thing.'

[[ *NO! You are still just recovering-* ]]

'But I won't die anymore, right? Then it's fine~.'

Every being that possesses an origin skill goes through a certain 'awakening' process early in their lives, almost when they are young kids where these skills reveal their true forms.

That's called origin awakening and though it is delayed in so individuals, it is very rare for the awakening to happen when soone reaches adulthood among humans.

Perhaps in other kinds, there are cases when the origin awakening happens later in their lives, however, they are still young according to their lifespans.

'In humans, however, it is common for the origin awakening to happen when the children are around five or six years old. That's why my case was unique.'

The awakening is influenced by the strength of the person and their knowledge about their origins, which I possessed plenty of.

My master taught more than enough for to be the most knowledgeable human to know about the origins, and my own origin skill.

However, even after all that, I did not awaken my skill all this ti… a fact that changed today.

-Ooooooooooooooong!

I was feeling like I was almost going to die just a mont ago but now, it was feeling alright.

My internal injuries had been magically healed and even the pain had gone away greatly.

I was feeling like a completely new person now and with this new power surging within -

'Hmmm?'

[[ *M-master? Isn't that… too much?* ]]

'I know! But what's happening?! I didn't want to do that!'

The attack that I wanted to kill the lich with was almost ready, so I just tried to add a little bit of whatever energy it required; however, when I added the amount I thought would be just right, an unusual volu of pure Amrita was channeled through the branch of the world tree.

And it was so absurdly strong that the tip of Asta, which was shining with only a small light until now, exploded with a light so bright that even the ones in the forest were stunned by its presence for a mont…
