Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

{ "Things started on the dusk of the second day of the competition." }

We started from where They had started, from the three main locations within the city and then started spreading out.

Starting with the information about the perpetrators, we shared the detailed information of these individuals who though were in a contract with some demon and somehow possessed the demonic energy, they were much more powerful and sane than the normal demon contractors could possibly be.

They were abnormally strong and organised as well.

Just like some highly trained knight or mage, these individuals were so proficient with what they did that it was impossible for the others to even distinguish them from the normal other kinds of dangers that lurk in the dark alleys of the prominent cities like this one.

There was a lot of danger already, but these individuals exploded in a way that would have made it impossible for anyone unprepared to react in the way that we did.

{ "We started the operation by dividing the available individuals that the headmaster had handpicked and assigned us aside from the forces of Lakmer." }

This was not the time or place to hide any of the facts so, we shared with them the facts that they needed to know to understand the gravity of the situation that we had faced in that city at that time.

And since we were giving them this kind of information, they were obviously going to question a lot of things.

Though, before the first question arrived, the headmaster raised his hand and I nodded at him.

"I would like to clarify that all the control of the operation was given to Axion. I trust his abilities, and I suggest everyone look through the entire incident to understand why I had done so."

They had questions. About me, about this technology, about how this was possible, about how they were seeing these things, what the headbands around their heads and necks were as well.

They had questions, but to eliminate the questions regarding the tech, the headmaster had already announced that they would have to talk with them later personally.

And for the questions regarding my position in this whole matter, he openly announced that he had handed the whole control of the operation to me even when some of the most powerful people present in this conference, some of the people that most of them could not even hope to meet directly, were present in that place.

They were shocked, but since the headmaster said it himself, I had the justification to just continue the presentation without paying attention to the question filled faces of the individual presents.

{ "We started the operation before they started the assault." }

We showed them how things went.

From the moment the first move was made by them to the point that they somehow got into the positions, to their base.

I showed them how the teams were formed, who was in charge of what, and what was happening all around the city and outside in the forest in their base at the same time using the unique artificial environment that we had created.

'I created this whole setup, but it was inspired a lot by the projection head gear that we used at the explanation during the first gathering in Lakmer, as well as Celes' perfect replication abilities.'

This whole setup might resemble the room of projections but the system that this whole thing worked on was something completely different from those artificial environment creation rooms.

This thing was portable. And as they could see, it was actually being maintained by only two people, on some mere Mana crystals that anyone could afford here.

Anyway…

{ "As the battle progressed, the demonic cultists started showing their true power." }

Along with all kinds of battles that were happening in the city, I showed them things that even the people that were present in that battle themselves had not seen at that moment.

They were living the whole nightmare once again, and the Lords of Lakmer and the President also could not handle this whole setup that well.

{ "On one hand, there were people who dealt with the happenings inside the city." }

And then there were us who were maintaining the things from behind the scenes.

{ "There was a group outside the city, in the base of the demonic forces, and then…" }

Shifting the angle, the point where I started playing my Harp had arrived. And, from this moment forth, they were going to see the powers that I wanted to hide from the world for as long as possible.

"..."

"What?"

"Is that…?"

Gasps filled the hall as soon as they witnessed the sight of a divine artefact being played by its chosen master.

The things that they were going to see from here were not limited to me playing the music and the blood of the demonic contractors filling the streets of the Lakmer, the things that they were going to see from that point on also included the deaths that were taking place throughout the city.

This whole presentation was recreated from my memories as well as the memories of various individuals who agreed to share it with us or were chosen by us in order to make this presentation.

Still, here, they were seeing things that not all of them were going to enjoy.

Especially the Rakshasas.

[{ "They don't like this." }]

[{ "Anyone can tell from that expression, dear." }]

Rein was maintaining the equipment while the headbands that they were wearing connected them with mine, as I was maintaining the whole setup that was actually running this whole thing.

With Lucy's help, as the centre of the setup, I was doing a lot more than what met to one's eyes, but they all will know about it when they come to me to know more about this tech after the conference.

{ "The Demonic cultists are referred to as such since they are not Rakshasas and they are not humans either. They are evil. Individuals who were not after Lakmer just because they wanted to." }

They did not kill simply because they could.

They were not Rakshasas that did things for the pure sake of chaos and destruction.

The true nature of the true Rakshasas lie in their genuine desire to destroy the existing nature, to destroy the worldly elements just because they wanted to.

They would not even think twice when they are walking down a certain path when they are there to destroy things.

'They walk and everything that crosses their path meets their demonic energy.'

But these cultists were different.

They disrespected the whole nature of the Rakshasas and did things systematically as if they were some trained soldiers.

That was not destroying nature. That was not even what a holder of demonic powers should be doing in the first place.

The Rakshasas present in the conference were some of the most powerful people in this world that were contracted with some of the highest ranking demons in the demonic realm.

Hell was the home of the demons and these individuals were beings who had been to that hell, embraced it, and walked back to the physical world just to carry out the will of their contractors, the will of the demonic nature that they also inherently follow.

They wanted the destruction of nature, but… they still needed a world that they would live in afterwards.

So, they did not ultimately want the destruction of the world.

And thus, this conference was an important thing for them as well…

'But, they are the angriest right now.'

As we showed them how things progressed, how the battle progressed, how everyone fought, how Rein fought and how she helped others in the operation, as well as how the demons were summoned and defeated…

'When the demons died, the extreme sorrow on the Rakshasha's faces had turned into extreme hatred and sorrow, and then it turned back into anger directed towards these strange bastards.'

The demonic cultists.

They were becoming the centre of hate for all the people present here, but this was just the beginning.

{ "For the fulfilment of their goals, one of them even accepted impure lichhood." }

The sudden appearance of the lich was a surprising factor for many of them. There were a few liches in the conference as well so, this incurred their wreath as well, and since the demonic Rakshashas were already enraged, things started getting hot in here.

'A true follower of the demons would never accept immortality through any other means other than the purest means of becoming a demonic existence themselves.'

To accept the lichdom was a pure disrespect of everything that their kind lived for, and the same is true for every follower of magic present here.

From the Elders of magic council, the high mages, the mages who were chasing the throne of an archmage, even the holy individuals who despised these beings scoffed at the existence of this impure being that was dealt with by the strange spells that I cast in the end.

{ "As we dealt with the demonic forces on each end, the battle was coming to an end." }

In the short time that we saw these things and went through the small details, hours had passed by without any of them realising it.

The details, the deaths, what they did, how things happened and how we were able to counter most that was happening and still incurred many losses… I showed it all to them, and at the end, at the end of the day for the conference, I had finished the first section of my presentation without a single question or discussion.

"Now that everyone knows the basics of what happened in the Lakmer, let us call it a day here and continue from how these things happened and what might have been the 'Cause' that sparked such intense reaction from so many fronts."

The headmaster's words at the start were proven quite effective and the first section went smoothly, now, if things go well tomorrow as well… I just hope we will be able to conclude the second and third sections just like this one.

But, I'm certain that is not going to be possible just from the kind of looks that I am seeing on all these visible faces right now…

'Things will start and end with a hell lot of difficulties.'

Hopefully, things will somehow work out… and if they don't, they will have to prepare themselves to extend this conference to more days than they might have ever expected…
