Eon and Rein. The two of them were in a disguise. It should generally mean the two of them were trying to hide their powers.
It was normal that they would want to conceal their powers if they wanted to lay low and have a quiet, fun time at the academy.
They were also hoping to hide as many powers as they can while being in the student council and their goal was to finish this entrance exam while showing only fifty percent or less of their powers.
It was a good and surely plausible plan until the moment they made that bet to get more points and later come to this place while lusting after the core that made this whole place.
Eon knew if he took away the core of the island, the magic would disappear and the children might get hurt.
It would be difficult but he wanted that core and for that, he would have to defeat the guardian.
And Rein was getting bored so she just wanted to have fun.
Everything was fine and all until their plan almost failed and the creature before them entered its last stage and it became difficult to deal with it.
Still, both of them knew that they were strong enough to defeat it if they worked properly.
They knew that and were working on that but then the minotaur wounded Rein lightly, and Eon didn't like it.
It was childish but he was angry not because the creature wounded Rein but because the creature that wasn't even real was able to hurt her.
He was angry at himself for not being able to strong enough to allow such a thing and that anger was directed toward the one who hurt his beloved fiancee.
She understood that much so she just took a step back and started preparing for her finishing move while Eon was glaring down at the insane creature that had managed to hurt her.
He was using the third ability of his [Three eyes], the silver eyes of domination.
His eyes were glowing silver but it was visually a different silver from the one she was used to.
He was in a disguise and it meant he had to conceal most of his abilities that told the world that he was the very, very, famous young nobleman Axion that had run away with his fiancée.
He can't reveal the color of his Aura and he also can't use his distinct Solnova. He also had to conceal his special abilities that the world knew about.
So he was doing that hiding the ability thing right now and the color of his eyes was metallic silver and not the pure silver that it usually is while using his ability.
His hair also didn't shine like bright gold and just stayed black… Celes sure was far more amazing than anyone can think.
So, Eon was using his silver eyes right now and the effect of this ability was known to the people who were present when they fought with that evil spirit in its tomb.
The area around them was dominated by a strangely dense pressure, the minotaur, the illusion with little intelligence, was feeling a primordial fear, the activities had stopped all around them, and in this frozen time, the minotaur was just looking at the boy with dreadful silver eyes before him, with his entire body covered in a cold sweat.
It was an illusion so such skills shouldn't work on it. But for some unfathomable reason, it was happening right now.
It was fearful and was trying to gather its strength and keep itself up.
But its left leg, the one marked with that green arrow from the start of their battle, the same one that had been damaged and healed countless times in their battle, had become too weak to handle its weight under that immense pleasure.
It was shaking under fear and then, when it became too much, the leg gave up, and the big minotaur fell back on his tail.
Its red eyes shook with fear, the flames of fear had already vanished, and even its nostrils were fluttering at this moment.
It was on the ground and then…
-Ooooooooooong!
-Clank! Shank! Clank!
Pure black chains came out of the ground and bounded the creature, pinning it down in its place.
They were Rein's chains and right now, she was dancing behind Eon.
It was a unique dance, the footwork of her unique scythe technique would be a better thing to describe it but it sure had a lot of rotations in this footwork.
She was practically a spinning top right now. Not the top-bottom one but the toy top. Not that toy! Simple toy top!
It was quick too. So much so that the scythe she was holding was strangely glowing with a weird black light.
She looked… strange while doing that but that strange was also just as beautiful as her other aspects.
It was cool and Eon was having a headache.
It was difficult for him to maintain those eyes but, well, it was better than the previous years when he would have to take a drop of mind-healing tears after using these silver eyes for just a while.
He can do it for much longer now that he was stronger but still, a minute was his limit. The power of this ability increased far more as he grew after all.
Well, he was fine as he used it and looked at the creature with that angry gaze.
He was angry and he knew the creature was now done for. It was the end…
-Zoooooooooooooooo!
Rein finished her dance, a strange purple wave of Mana covered her body, the scythe glowed with a stronger purple color and as that happened, when looking closely, one could see the strangest particles of light coming out of that good artifact.
It was easy to guess that the weapon was disintegrating and the strange black light was the only possible reason the spectators could think.
It was intriguing but they all were already mesmerized by the dance that she had shown and the strange ability the boy had shown.
Both of them were peculiar and Rein was ready…
-Zup. Zup. Zup. Zup.
She took the last of her turns, infused her bloody red aura in that pitch black Mana-covered scythe, adjusted her angle, and gathered all the energy generated from her dance, and when everything was in place, including the minotaur that was chained by the night black chains and was looking at Eon with those still dreadful eyes.
It looked miserable but there was no need to show any pity to the creature that had hurt her.
So, Eon also increased the force of his silver eyes, made the trembling creature dead still, and gave his final signal while saying a single word 'now' through their connections.
Rein smiled with excitement and with a last look at the giant creature… she released the grip from her scythe.
-Shiiim!
She was spinning like a top just a moment before and then she released the scythe that she was spinning for that long moment.
The force it had gathered was out of the norm on its own but that wasn't all. The magic infused in it and the way it had been prepared with her special scythe technique was also something that made the weapon far more deadly than it could ever be.
The great energy she had infused in the scythe and the strange but unique way she moved turned the scythe into an unimaginable power.
She would have to lose a good weapon but she had plenty of similar ones.
She was happy she could perform her special scythe dance, the death scythe's third unleash: Reaper.
It was a technique that was created to kill the target, and this time too, it was unleashed for killing the target.
The scythe was released at a very high speed from her hands, too fast that even
Eon admired it, and as the black thing spun at that speed, became a straight line instead of the spinning scythe, and passed through the space, it cut everything in its path, including the space and illusion, and reached the minotaur even before the blink of an eye.
It was just too fast even for the headmaster and when that blinking moment finished, all that they all saw, all that was recorded in the eyes of the spectators, was the headless minotaur, and the head that was still flying in the air.
They all didn't see it but the pure horror in the eyes of that illusion when it saw the scythe combining at him was so deep and dark that the demons would have loved to devour that moment but Eon who was already looking at it saw that emotion clearly.
It was strange that an illusion would show something like that and that just showed just how great the headmaster and his special magic were.
He had mastered the illusion series of magic and it was his specialty and the moment he saw that 'emotion' from an illusion, Eon was impressed to his core.
He found it genuinely fascinating and that increased the respect he had for that fucking crazy bastard.
Well, he will probably be like that forever, and they will have to deal with him for a freaking three years. More actually, but they didn't know that for now.
Anyway… it was the end for the Minotaur and a fountain of blood gushed out of the giant body that was now laying on the ground without its head.
The head actually vanished when it was in the air but the bloody fountain was now creating a rain of blood and both Rein and Eon were being bathed in the thick fluid of the giant mortal body.
The scene right now was truly too graphic to describe but the cool thing in this area with blood raining from a giant creature's corpse in the middle of nowhere was definitely…
"Hahahaha~!"
An evil witchly laughter of pure ecstasy dominated the area as Eon looked at his cutely laughing fiancée with warm eyes. She sure looked adorable while covered in that hot red illusionary blood.
It was cool but the fun was momentary as… after a few moments of this unique rain, everything started vanishing into fine particles of colorful lights.
Everything was vanishing from the surrounding area aside from the two of them, and a new place was materializing before them.
They had fought for the whole night if they had to say and on the island, at least fifteen or so hours had passed for sure.
The second phase of the battle was the longest where they had to fight the creature in his own domain and even if it might have seemed short for us, it was a struggle that couldn't be put into proper words.
They had worked hard… so, it was time for the reward that he had come into this dungeon for.
The new place that was materializing before them was their treasure room but as this materializing was progressing and Rein was laughing merrily, they heard a very melodious but unpleasant voice.
"Hohoho! Hello, you two~! Looks like you had quite the fun with my little Minotaur."
'The headmaster… was this bastard here now?'
Even spectators seeing all this had the same question right now.
