I created my own system

Chapter 107 The First Temple

Continuation of Apollo's POV

A flash of light blinded my eyes while my skill Light of Aegis began activating. The surrounding mana began to solidify while the essence began to amplify the length and strength of the skill.

My spear flew out of my hand and revealed one of the spells it contained. As the symbols came to life it began to construct a magic circle. This spell was made by one of the previous Head of the Tower, he likes hunting so vampires became his main target.

According to grandpa Alger, the previous Head described vampires as smart, cunning and very tricky to kill, so the previous Head enjoyed hunting them. Later on, he was called the vampire hunter and his spells were well known to be useful against vampires, high-rank or even daylight walkers.

"Let's do this"

Upon the magic circle's creation, the spell came to life. The gospel meets my spell, the ground shook while the air was blown away.

"Hoo.." I breath as my spear danced across the air and stabbed the vampire who had his claws a few inches behind my back.

"How cunning throwing a flashy spell like that in order to sneak behind me"

"Ugh!"

"Does it hurt?"

I asked while blood began to spring from his chest. He tried to move and struggled to remove the spear but he failed to.

"Jeremiah activate the skill Disintegrate"

[Affirmative]

Upon the skill's activation my spear glow paralyzing the vampire priest, and upon my command the skill spread into the surrounding area, making everything turn into a state of decay. The vampire archbishop was also the same he turned into dust along with his chilling cry.

"Well mission accomplish here"

I said then my attention shifted when a sudden cry attracted my attention. Its source wasn't here but instead located on the other side of the north, it was the place where the first temple resided.

...

"Apollo, what are you doing?"

My thoughts ran wild as my eyes landed on Alicia's devil form. It was the same form she used when we sneaked inside the temple before.

"What is it?"

She asked me although my answer was just a mere shake of my head.

"It's nothing" I added.

"Some of the priests have been killed but I haven't caught a glimpse of that one person, he is still missing"

"Right, the archbishop"

"I've been using a spell to scan the area however I can't find his location"

"He is hiding well"

"I suppose he knows he can't run and can only survive by hiding inside the temple's main building"

I can't help but agree with Alicia's words though I have scanned the entire building and I still can't find any man that has the same length of strength as an archbishop.

Where did he go?

A man can't just disappear without traces he must have left something, anything that I can use to find him.

"We may find something if we set foot on the inner temple"

"You are right"

Alicia spoke then I felt her body ascent, it turns out her wings were spread out as if preparing to attack.

"I should break the barrier first and kill the remaining priests and paladins, maybe then we can find the archbishop"

I can't help but chuckle at her words, seriously just what kind of 13-year-old kid would say that, wait come to think of it, none of the lower-class students can be said normal. Maybe we all used to but it's different now, our experiences molds us to become monsters.

Now I wonder if everyone is aware of that fact or just me.

Sigh, I could never find that out.

"Let me come with you Alicia, I am interested in how strong can the first temple become if they become desperate enough"

With those words, Alicia just shook her head.

"Is that something a kid like you should say?"

"I don't know but for a cruel demon perhaps I said a fitting statement"

She just shook her head before flying away.

"And here I said I am coming"

My wings beat the air creating the force that propel me into the sky.

"Jeremiah locate all remaining enemies at the outer temple"

[initiating life scanner...

initiating mana scan...

Scan complete!

All targets have been marked]

Then in my vision, a map appeared with red dotted marks on it. As I gazed at it I realized something.

"To think that even with my mechanized soldiers and multiple bodies my enemies could still be this plenty"

[Can't be helped since some of your bodies end up pairing with each other in order to take down one priest or paladin]

"Well I am thankful for the abundant essence cause if it weren't for them this fight would be almost impossible to win"

The other temples can be taken down easily however the first and the second temples can be said a whole new scale than the others. Just the fact that I need to conserve my usage of essence on just one body while letting the others gang up on a single target, says a lot about their strength.

"Let's bury those thoughts and just focus on this spell"

A fire magic circle was created, and through it a spell manifested. Tiny traces of light fall like small drops of rain. It began to fill the entire field and gather at the place marked by the map.

And as the red dots turned green I made the scale of the spell bigger.

"Then let's make it big"

.....

Under the eyes of thousands of enemies, one hundred black demons cast a single spell. A rain of blue fire fell as if fireflies had arrived, however, they all knew it wasn't the case.

It was a very deadly spell they concluded, gospels were pulled while weapons were turned however the drops of flames exploded before they could even do anything.

A multitude of explosions shook the ground while the cold weather of the north died down as flames burned the icy ground.

The people at the inner temple saw the catastrophe and knew they were next. And they weren't mistaken because the moment the cloud of smoke dispersed, a ray of black and red magic circle lit the sky before a spell descended on the mighty barrier that protected them.

"Pull yourselves together!"

"Hear our prayer...."

Songs of devotion were heard while eyes filled with determination could still be observed. The followers of the Monastery remain hopeful and signs of giving up cannot be seen. It was impressive their faith was unwavering and on every page of the holy book songs of gospels echo until screams of grief replace it.

Their shield was penetrated and Alicia gracefully landed right in the middle of high-rank priests and paladins.

"I am already in Apollo"

"Okay let me just go there"

Swiftly I landed beside her, and with me are the focused boost of the essence and special features of my skill Demonized.

I can still fight the other high-ranking enemy however the archbishop is our top priority. So this me right now is the one with the most boost.

"Can you sense the archbishop?"

Alicia asked so I used the system's lens to survey the area.

"Nothing? No visual signs that can lead to him"

Not getting the information I want I use another gear, the system's scanner should able to pick something with a Celestial rank being.

"This is hard"

"You can't find him"

"Yes, I need to look into the inner temple thoroughly. Maybe I am missing something that is why I can't find him"

"Okay then we should clean this up first"

"That is fine by me"

We look around us and the remaining priest and paladins have their weapons pointed at us.

"This is too annoying why they can't just die"

I can't help but laugh at her words then a thought came to me.

"Let me handle this"

In my half-demon form, I can access both my demon skills and human skills.

Under the skill Demonize, I could use one of the skills under its original skill Demonification.

"Jeremiah activate Corrupted accompaniment"

[Will do my Creator]

[Initiating Skill activation...

Skill is fully activated!]

"Let us do something more, add the essence to boost the skill"

A cursed energy that can kill anyone in a large area began to spread. A barrier was put however I have Jeremiah to jam it. They were too weak to create a strong and impenetrable barrier and so Jeremiah was able to cancel it.

"What the!"

They gave different reactions however the death energy soon spread until only cold bodies remained on the ground.

"Apollo"

Inside my barrier, Alicia pointed to a man who desperately stood up among his dead comrades.

"We won't fall!"

He shouted and took a horn, with his life coming to an end he blew it and a howling sound echoes.

"Hmm?"

"What was that?" right after blowing up the horn the man died leaving a weapon with him.

"Apollo"

"Yes?"

"I sense a mass amount of life coming near the border of the temple"

"Ah, was this what he wanted to achieve"

"I'll take care of this"

Alicia took off flying straight towards our enemy.

I remained standing where I was and saw the weapon he was holding. It was a weapon crafted from flesh although it looked broken.

"Now that I remember according to one of the priest's memories these weapons are called Devourers"
