I created my own system

Red flaring eyes could be seen in the gaps in the demon\'s helmet signifying his anger. He definitely recognised it was Excalibur, although it was a fake one.

"How dare they" he spoke sending shivers in the remaining priest and paladins.

"I can\'t understand why on earth can they duplicate a sword like Excalibur. It was to the degree that made me think if it was really the original that I had taken out.

It made me doubtful.

It looks and works like the real one although they can\'t fully harness its power because they are not from the imperial family.

This situation was truly questionable"

He said to himself while clenching his teeth, his eyes looking straight at the being who triggered his wrath.

A figure clad in white flew confidently in the wind, while a being born from the darkens waited patiently for him.

"Sparing us will be the death of you"

The archbishop\'s voice was filled with confidence however a bone-chilling voice answered him.

"It wasn\'t me who spared you"

A voice made by hundreds of voices spoke causing the enemies to feel discouraged.

"I am the will of the Ninth temple and I shall punish you for all the deaths you have caused to my people!"

The demon did not speak and only one of his dozens of bodies came to fight.

"I only need one to kill all of you"

His arrogant statement made the archbishop scared and doubtful.

"I know," he said while lifting his sword.

"Tell me, why do you hold Excalibur, I know it is not the real one but why does it hold such power as the original"

The archbishop looked at the demon and shook his head before answering.

"If you come to such a conclusion then you haven\'t seen the real Excalibur"

The demon looked confused however his expression remained hidden by his helmet.

"The real sword wields a power greater than anyone could imagine"

Then flames began to gather around the sword making Apollo conflicted.

"Then shall we start again demon"

"Yes"

The demon looked determined while his spear floated beside him.

Apollo no longer needs to use his mana to attack, all he needs is to use his skills and use the essence of the deceased as fuel, it is also the same with his spells and techniques. As long as someone died he could use them as a source of energy.

.....

Apollo\'s Pov

The area was oozing with death and thus it was easier to increase the strength of my spell.

My head went on and visualize the formula and a spark of electricity came to hand. The imaging continues until I gain the required essence for my casting.

My original weapon spun in my hand while absorbing the spell I was casting. My spear shines brighter than ever transforming into pure energy.

Then the manifestation of my spell came.

Lightning and flame gathered up until it became one with my spear.

"Try blocking this" I challenge while fixing my stance in the air.

The fusion magic, Flame Lightning Lance howled in the air before flying straight towards the archbishop.

[The effects of the Oath is slowly subsiding]

"Yes I know I can feel it"

The chains that bound me tightly loosen up making my breathing light.

While the lance breaks through the layer of lights a wave of golden light hits me. Then it became solid until it turned into fine golden wings.

It stopped the lance until another ray of light completely swallowed my attack.

The spell I cast was perfectly blocked, the light was too powerful to be destroyed, and so I had no choice but to retract my spear.

"This is a bit interesting"

I said as my eyes gazed at an ethereal-winged man.

The gathered prayers from the remaining priests and paladins created a symphony of magic.

"To think a person\'s faith can make something like this"

"Indeed this is the power of our joint belief in our faith, behold one of the greatest gospels of the holy book!"

"Miracle!"

Unknowingly a smirk emerged from my face.

"I wonder what could have happened if there is more faith, will it be more than just this?"

[Are you regretting killing more than half of them?]

"Maybe just seeing this potential made me want to turn back time and stop myself from killing them"

In that moment Jeremiah felt he needed to stop that thinking since his Creator do have the ability to harness the power of time. Going back to the past or even the future might be possible as long as he tries it.

This fact made Jeremiah an artificial intelligence worried. If his Creator thinks of going back to the past or even the future he might cause chaos.

[Creator what do plan to do?]

Instead of answering him, I send a message to Samael.

{What are you planning Mael}

{Just don\'t kill all of them, I need to meet a certain man among them}

{Are you certain he isn\'t fleeing inside the underground tunnels?}

{We already checked them with some of your soldiers and we didn\'t find him}

I couldn\'t help but sigh

Just who is that man that makes those four this serious?

[He must be one of the people who initiated the attacks on their villages]

"Might be the case"

If that really was the case then it makes sense that they are this desperate. I know more than anyone else the feeling of wanting revenge on the people who hurt you.

So who am I to question them?

As we talked I saw the archbishop finish his casting and was ready to fire his spell at me. A white angel manifested through the gospel was made. Its body was clad in golden armor while four wings were attached to its black. The weapon in the angel\'s hand is a golden sword resembling Excalibur.

"Go gospel of faith, Archangel Behemoth!"

"Let\'s see how to defeat this man"

His defense is top notch and I am certain it was the same with his offense.

I already said only one me can handle them so I should uphold that.

[Is it pride?]

"Pride? Maybe, it\'s because I already broke one rule of our deal by killing his men so this is the least I could do"

[His gospel is about to come] Your journey continues at m v|l-e\'-NovelBin.net

"I know"

I focused my will on the tip of my spear using the power it had to boost the command I was about to make.

"Repulsion"

And the command was given, an unexplained force suddenly pulled the angel away sending it back to the one who cast it.

"What!" the archbishop exclaimed seeing his attack flying back at him.

"Repulsion and attraction"

One of the blessings I copied from my friends.

"The fundamental forces of nature"

Although I haven\'t fully mastered all the forces yet it\'s still better than nothing.

So let\'s go back to my opponent who was taken aback by the sudden turn of the situation but still fast enough to put up a guard to defend. He was too surprised to realise his own spell won\'t really hurt him.

{Samael I\'ll give you fifteen minutes to find that man because I can no longer contain myself}

{Is it because of that mysterious oath}

{Yes}

{Okay I\'ll bring some of your soldiers it will be done in fifteen}

{Thanks}

I took a breath and finally felt more relieved, I might look like I was fine but the Oath constantly interfered with my movements.

"I should finish this"

My body then disappeared and reappeared behind my opponent.

The archbishop who was busy casting his defensive barrier didn\'t even notice me, well he was in a state of panic.

[It\'s because your skill Oppressor is active]

"Really? Now it makes sense"

Sparks ignited my spear which finally gained his attention.

"Let\'s go fast"

As my spear turned into energy my body became engulfed with electricity, until it turned into lighting.

"Thunder aura, positive lightning"

White sparks of lightning made a huge line across the sky. The temperature increases while an unpleasant odor can be smelled. The archbishop who was yet again surprised with the sudden attack made a quick gospel to defend himself.

It\'s not like it was his first time getting hit by my spell so by now he should have known how to at least handle a couple of thousand volts and heat.

Smoke was produced from the collision although it wasn\'t enough to hinder my vision. And just like I predicted he was able to block my strike.

"More"

My speed drew a line while my opponent made a globe-shaped shield to cover all angles. Since he can\'t keep up with my speed he decided to set a defence that protects him from all directions. However, I have a plan for that.

I charge myself with more electricity causing some of the volts to lay waste on the ground and air.

The scent of burning permeated through the air while the humidity increased.

While I cast the archbishop wasn\'t staying idle either, I could see he was casting something inside his defensive dome.

Without wasting any more seconds I released my spell and went head-to-head with his.
