Chapter 132 Church
So the new church was the old name of the Monastery. They didn\'t exist two hundred years ago but three hundred instead. However, it seems this Revolutionary church was just Nirvana testing his creation. It was a mere test to see how he could share his power through his blood.
"I am starting to even more hate that guy"
[But he is dead already you already killed him]
"Yet his children are still running around the empire"
[It is not yet confirmed that they survived the battle two hundred years ago]
"Does it even matter, dead or alive all I need is to be strong and be prepared enough"
"I need to be sure and be prepared for any possible scenarios"
I thought to myself while Alicia signalled me to assist our classmates who were still engaged in combat.
"Let\'s go duchess....!?...duchess?"
Her eyes were dilated as if witnessing a horrifying scene so I followed her eyes, and there among the broken pillars I saw someone, an observer, someone who merely watched us from a distance.
I could tell based on its build that it wasn\'t a human, just looking at its shadow it was absolutely not a person. A height which to be estimated at 10 feet, huge muscles and a pair of horns.
"Definitely not a human"
"Lenon"
Duchess Esther spoke though her eyes remained looking at the mysterious figure.
"Glenda! Call Duke Odin Onsidianvale, we need his help"
Alicia who was about to run towards Alya\'s side halted as she heard Esther\'s orders.
"I will Duchess!"
I don\'t know how Alicia will look for the duke but currently, the unknown enemy is our problem.
"What the hell is that"
I asked probing for any information about our observer.
"It might be one of them?"
"One of what?"
"One of the beings the revolutionary church worships"
"One of them that means they are more"
"Yes, the church worships many idols, from a mere object to the demonic beast and magical beasts, they even went on as far as to get a spirit involved here"
So in short this guy is a big bad news.
[Let me give you a hint of his strength, he is at level 15] Your next chapter is on мѵʟ
"Of what rank?"
[Emperor]
I couldn\'t help but tightly grip my axe, according to what we tackled in this lesson the duchess and most of the dukes are at rank King, and it is said they handle the battle well. No one mentions an enemy being an emperor rank
[The records say the battle only lasts for three days and based on our current situation I can guess this is the third day]
"So the final battle will happen here"
[Yes here in the middle of the old mountain Telos, the battle should end here]
"Old Mountain"
I can\'t help but feel a sudden chill as I remember how the mountain called Telos was flipped and used as projectiles during the war in the Age of Extinction. It was moved by Artemis using a high-level earth spell against a Celestial rank demonic beast. Now another battle will transpire in this very land.
"It\'s moving"
Esther said while her bow quietly waited for her master\'s command.
"We need Odin here" she added while maintaining her stance.
"Will it be enough?"
Two kings against one emperor will only lead to our loss we need someone who can stop this thing from even moving.
[Creator! Dodge!]
My body was suddenly flung on the side crashing on the fallen pillars.
"What just happened"
I didn\'t see a thing or feel anything. With my trembling hand, I held the person who saved me, her body was drenched in warm blood while her eyes remained shut.
"Duchess?"
I said while my body felt the warmth on her body disappearing.
"No, no this isn\'t happening" I began to panic and immediately looked for any wounds, however as soon as I saw a spike impaled from her back to her chest, my body felt as if a cold bucket of water had splashed on me. I won\'t be able to heal her with that kind of injury. As my thoughts run wild my body felt a sudden chill.
A presence was right behind me, creeping closer as if it was entertaining to see us like this.
"Winter!"
{Yes master!}
[Your spirit won\'t last for long, he is up against a level 15 rank emperor magical beast]
"I know!"
I lifted the duchess\'s body and bow trying to escape the current situation.
"Run!"
I roared wanting to save everyone but it wasn\'t enough, it didn\'t even last a minute and that chilly presence was back. I could tell it was toying with me.
"Damn it!"
[You can always use your real strength, I can break the illusion without alerting the person who cast it]
"No it\'s okay, I might change something if I rely on you"
[But Lenon can\'t save himself and the duchess, but Apollo can. He defeated Nirvana and can fight even if his opponent had higher stats than him]
"Yes but the one who is fighting is Lenon, not Apollo"
I answered back although it might seem a long time had passed but in reality, it only lasted a second.
[Incoming your stats is too low to dodge this strike prepare for impact]
Another notification pops and so I immediately use my shield to cover my body and Esther.
"Winter are you still there!"
[Your spirit receives some fatal injuries and needs to recuperate, you won\'t be able to summon him for a while]
"No choice then"
As I put my body and mind into receiving an attack it didn\'t really come.
"Wait something is wrong" I realized so I moved my shield and there I saw four figures blocking the enemy\'s attack.
"You okay"
Alicia came out of nowhere behind her was someone I thought I would only see in books. Hair that resembles the sky during dusk while eyes that sparkle like a burning sun. Hades Lionheart made his appearance, a legendary figure who played a significant role in this war.
