Apollo's Pov.
It was a duel at the expense of our comrades' lives.
However, I don't see any sort of defiance nor any negative reaction from the army of paladins and priests.
"What a faith"
[We should be more cautious then, their expression ans they are confident with their leader's abilities]
"Right"
Although I am almost immortal right now, being cautious won't really hurt.
So I cast three defensive spells, an earth, water and wind spells.
A resonance happens once the three spells are cast creating an array-like defensive formation.
After casting those defensive spells I enhance the armor I have before casting another round of spells. A buffing spell to be exact.
Increase Speed
Increase agility
Increase control
Increase foresight
Increase weapon sharpness
Increase stunning effect
Increase confuse effect
Increase stealth
Increase....
[Creator you are packing too much buff]
"Didn't you tell to be cautious?"
[Yes I did]
"So let add more then"
I lifted my spear and saw my opponent taking out a book.
A gospel will surely be cast.
I raise my spear and a defensive spell erges from the tip of it.
"Co to kingdom of God raise your gates and show your might!"
Mana began to freeze aning that a mana domain was made.
I couldn't breathe properly, my body felt restricted.
"So this is the power of a Celestial Mana domain"
It was a different type of pressure from the ones I felt before.
"How exciting"
The chanting continues making the pressure intensify. I could have broken through the pressure using brute force but that would be ruining the fun.
[I thought you want to be cautious]
"Don't worry I am"
And the gospel continues.
"Purgatory!"
The archbishop's mana poured out turning into sothing that made Apollo amazed.
It was a dreadful spell for the enemies while a protection for its allies.
A halo of white light ca for the templar army while a gate of hell for Apollo.
"Cast a do Jeremiah"
Apollo's blue mana erges from his body before transforming into a do of red light.
The fire elent, light magic Do of Protection was cast.
"Well let us face this spell"
A black iron gate towers above the clouds, its door is decorated with ancient symbols.
"Magical runic symbols"
The forest was reduced to re dirt due to the force made by the appearance of the gate, while Apollo remained standing still.
"Open!"
With the command of the archbishop the mighty gate truly opened.
The symbols glow red almost looking magmatic and fiery then a line cos down dividing the gate into two. This line parted revealing the secret inside the gate.
[Notifications alert!
A mass of energy is about to co prepared for impact]
A burning sensation soon penetrated , my skin felt a sudden itch and discomfort. The temperature escalated fast until my eyes felt burned and watery.
[Initiating shield]
Jeremiah imdiately made a move and put up a shield to intercept the attack.
"That shield will soon lt"
Then from the giant doors of the gate, a huge blast ca out. The gate was already ginormous that's why the blast that ca out of it was enough to wipe out the entire forest and leave a giant burning hole in it.
"Jeremiah"
[Yes?]
"You teleport them right?"
[Yes Creator you can proceed to show your true strength]
I sigh of relief escape from .
That's good to hear.
Mana began to fluctuate while the gate prepared another round of blasts.
"Co to book of God.."
While I prepared to block the blast I heard another gospel being cast.
"This guy truly wants to kill "
[How about attacking then?]
While Jeremiah talks another blast escapes from the jaws of the gate. The sky parted due to the power while the ground burned even hotter turning the air too hot to breathe.
I saw the fiery blast coming to however I wasn't the least worried.
I raised my spear and waved the weapon in my hand. A black energy ca out before slicing the blast into two.
"What!"
"Did he just slash through that attack!"
"Impossible!"
The enemies exclaid though the archbishop continued casting.
"Chains of Cain!"
The words from the priest echo while the heaven and earth are enveloped by a powerful light.
Those lights gained physical form and turned into chains that began to bind down. As the bindings tightened the gate blasted another attack.
"I can't move"
[What do you expect when you are chained down]
I tried to move and break the chains but to my surprise, I couldn't summon an ounce of my energy to move.
[The chains are ant to seal all your energy so you won't be able to move]
"Interesting"
I wasn't the least worried since I prepared enough.
My weapon glows absorbing the essence of those who have died. The blue glowing symbols expanded until the spear turned into pure energy.
It happened in the blink of an eye, a blue energy shape like a spear pierced through the chains completely breaking them.
Once I gained freedom I commanded the spear to return to before using it to break the blast.
Smoke filled the area blocking the onlooker's vision though once it disappeared they saw the chains broken and the gate crumbling.
"Ahh I swing too hard"
[You gathered so much essence that it almost broke the gate]
"And I really wanted to see it's a final blast"
[The gate should produce a blast 5 tis the power from the previous blast but since you almost destroy it, its performance might decrease]
"That's not good I was thinking of replicating the spell. If I can't see its full capacity I won't be able to gather enough data required to copy the spell"
[I already scanned the gospel however there are still so holes in the formula]
"Never mind that just give so spells from our arsenal, and I'll just synthesize them"
[Affirmative]
While this conversation transpires the archbishop already cast another gospel which summons a white holy sword from the sky. However, one swing from my spear completely broke the sword.
"What kind of weapon is that!"
"Could he be a powerful swordsman that can cut through the gospels like butter"
"If he is then he would have used an aura to efficiently cut the spell, this guy rely used brute force to cut everything. There was no technique or tactic just pure force"
One of the high-ranking paladins said.
The situation doesn't seem good for my enemies however the fight isn't over yet.
He should have more gospels prepared to clash with .
"Hmmm?"
The deanor of the archbishop changed and so did his mana.
"Oh so this is it"
The tainted mana I always felt and saw was actually the fragnted mana of their lord, Nirvana.
That fragnted mana would boost their overall stats and abilities.
"Then that skill equalizer must be from Nirvana"
[Possible]
"!?"
[!?]
It happened so fast that the mont I blinked I found myself buried deep in the ground while my barrier was being pierced.
[The skill Light of Aegis is activated]
My thoughts went haywire while my spear moved according to my command.
"Co down from heaven Fafnir!"
Another gospel landed and the heavens once again opened.
I looked up and saw the magic circle that activated the spell and for a mont I was srized.
It was a type of magic circle I had seen before.
It was a magic circle ant to borrow a power from soone.
So they are borrowing their power from Nirvana.
This realization caused a smirk to erge from my face.
"I see no wonder you are worshipped"
This type of borrowed power is sothing a minor god can't achieve, it is simply too powerful.
Perhaps a mid-rank?
No maybe lower than mid-rank but higher than lower-rank.
"Face the judgnt of the holy dragon!"
The dragon manifested from the spell caught onto my spear and furiously pinned it on the ground.
"What kind of barrier is this!"
The archbishop said while trying to stab with his sword.
Sparks begin to generate due to the friction between my barrier and his weapon.
"That sword..."
I began to speak while still being pinned on the ground.
"Oh, what of it? Do you recognize this blade?"
His voice was mocking as if he was trying to anger .
Well lucky for him I am angry.
[Notification Alert!
The Eternal oath is activated!
Your emotion shall be influenced by the oath and shall be fueled by its power]
"No, I am really angry"
[Be alert the Oath is affecting your emotions and thoughts!!
Creator is advised to...]
I wasn't about to hear Jeremiah because my eyes beca focused on one person.
"How dare you hold Excalibur!"
My voice beca ragged while my eyes flared with darkness.
The oath has taken over and now all I can hear is these two words.
{Destroy him}
Jeremiah's words could no longer reach as the voice of the oath reigned supre within my mind
