Continuation of Alicia's POV.
That day we stayed in the field until midnight, and we even caught so fireflies, then the mages from the tower joined us before going to bed and waking up late.
{Alicia? Are you done there?}
Suddenly Appolo's voice ca into my head.
"Yes I am done here I killed everyone just as you told "
{Huh? I didn't say everyone I said one}
"One?"
{Yeah I said kill the strongest one so the barbarians would retreat, the strongest after all is the leader}
"Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly I thought you said, everyone"
{Sigh forget it how many did you kill?}
"Well I think around a thousand"
{....}
{Okay return here I found the archbishop}
"Okay"
My mind was flying out of nowhere I didn't quite understand Apollo. But it's okay at least we have no more problems.
I should go back now so I summoned one of the few things that I like to do.
Wings appeared at my back before I shot towards the sky.
....
Apollo's Pov.
She is truly scary, I was right about her.
[Isn't strange she is distracted? Lady Alicia wasn't really like this]
"You are right she wasn't the type to not pay attention, perhaps sothing is bugging her"
[You should ask once she is here]
"Yeah"
"BANG!"
The win harshly hit the ground including , so I looked up to see what caused such a harsh gust of wind.
"Did I perhaps hurt you"
[That was fast!]
"You an overly fast"
"Where is the archbishop?"
She asked imdiately as soon as she arrived.
"There at the hidden passage under the statue"
"Let's go in"
"Okay"
"Jeremiah open the path"
[Affirmative]
The stone statue of a winged ant moves out of nowhere making Alicia frown.
"I already opened it beforehand"
"I see impressive"
A hidden stair was revealed to us under the stone statue, and then I hurriedly scanned the steps and found a couple of traps.
"Deal with the traps Jeremiah"
[ Will do my Creator]
We walked at the dark steps however none of us felt uncomfortable. I have night vision and Alicia was the sa.
Our eyes flicker at the darkness as we strode down, if one were to see us like this they might probably faint.
We looked like monsters lurking in the darkness with our pairs of scary eyes.
"Show the map, Jeremiah"
After scanning the area I am certain Jeremiah was able to generate a map, and then a notification popped in my face.
"Map successfully acquire...
Map has been applied]
A square window erges in my view before turning into a map.
There are two notable setups of this map, first are the two glowing red dots signifying our location and the archbishops, and the second are the little icons of gold and treasures. I felt even more excited and moved even more carefully.
"Nice lets go"
With a map as our guidance, we venture at the long stairs of the secret path.
I already had a clear vision of what I wanted to do, so I ordered.
"Clear the traps!"
[On it Creator]
[Path is clear you may proceed forward]
"Thanks"
From walking I began to run until the stairs ended and another path appeared.
"Where should we go?"
"Just follow "
I dashed forward and Alicia followed calmly.
After so turns, we finally arrived inside a small room and there I saw the archbishop. He was praying in front of an altar, it was white in colour while rows of candles were lit in front of a giant idol of a blue-winged ant.
"I knew it you know where that place is"
I spoke while slowly moving towards the Archbishop.
"For what reason do you wish to find the sacred land?"
"That is none of your business archbishop, now co over here and let take your mories"
I said but this man seems to have another plan. My eyes keenly observed him until he went closer to the altar.
At the idol's hand is a scythe, which was made with an unknown material while symbols are embedded at its handle and blade.
"What an arrogant demon"
He places his hand on the weapon and in that mont I felt a sudden chill.
"That weapon..."
I could never be mistaken, the aura that weapon gave out was the sa as the one with the flesh weapons.
"Based on your body's reaction I can tell you have encountered this weapon. This holy weapon was forged from the blood and skin of our lord. It was blessed by his power and strengthened by his flesh"
"I see now I know why it looked disgusting"
Then I heard him chuckle it seed my words didn't irritate him.
"You just don't understand, sure to you it seems disgusting but for us, it is the most divine weapon"
Then he swung the scythe and a pure black energy shot from it.
"CLANG!"
I stood where I was while Alicia ca forward taking the brunt of the attack.
"How strong Alicia?"
"It's decent for a half-hearted attack"
Then I heard another laugh from the archbishop.
"Just now did you use your friend to asure my attack?"
"Why not? My friend is tough even if I use her as a shield she won't die that easily"
My words earn more laughter from my enemy.
"Sigh...I'll just take your words as a complint"
"A devil and a demon how fascinating"
The archbishop's voice was filled with amusent as if he was having fun.
"If only you were not an enemy I would have befriended you two"
He smiled and I could tell it was genuine.
"I state what I said a while ago, you shall not step on our sacred ground"
"No worries I don't really need your permission"
Then a pair and ragged wings erge at my back, using them I propel myself in the air and make a strike.
My fist ets the blade of his scythe creating sparks in the air.
"Thunder Aura, Sky fall"
The sky turns dark and from it, a violent rage of lightning falls down as it strikes the depths of the secret altar.
