Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Bishop
The Mage Tower sometimes called as Wizard Tower has four giant towers which correspond to the study they focus on.
Blue Moon Tower studies mechanisms and weapons.
Red Sun Tower studies offensive and defensive spells.
Ocean Tower studies medicine and alchemy.
Lastly, the Black Tower which studies black magic and researches other elemental spells.
The three first towers are stations in a triangle position while the Black tower stands in the middle of the triangle.
The black tower was the place where the head of the Mage tower Alger was residing. It is also the place where the secret library was being kept.
However, Apollo did not just learn black magic there but also other types of Darkness element spells.
Darkness elements are one of the elements with plenty of sub-elements and one of them is the spell he is about to use.
A branch of magic he had studied for years.
"Darkness element, Void and space magic"
The space fluctuates while the element of darkness begins to corrupt the atmosphere.
The combination of two magic is what you call fusion magic.
The level of difficulty of this rivals that of heavenly magic, a Celestial Ascendance level.
Ten rings emerge signifying the level of Apollo's spell but against an endless amount of demon beast will it be enough?
Mana began to pull crafting the spell even more and soon a black dot was born out of the spell.
An intense gravitational pull began to disrupt the force that keeps everything in place. The space distorts while from a distance a dark, seemingly empty spot occupies the center of the horde.
"Devour everything, Nigrum foramen"
Chaos began to fall when the demon beast began to be pulled inside a dark circle dot.
The more demon beast being devoured the bigger the hole becomes.
[Creator we won't be able to get their essence if they die inside your spell]
"It's fine we don't really need them right now"
"And besides, looking at my current situation I don't think I'll end up not having enough stat points"
He said while looking at the advancing beast. The middle was being devoured by a black hole halting the movement of those on the back then here's Apollo striking in the front.
[You are still outnumbered Creator, you might exhaust yourself if you fight them head-on]
"I know but I won't really exhaust myself"
Then Apollo accessed his inventory taking out the weapon he made this past month.
"Five weeks of studying here did you think I wouldn't be prepared"
[Don't tell me you are going to use Doomsday here!]
"Nope that would be annihilating the entire city so I can't do that"
[Right it's too destructive]
"Yes that is why I won't use it"
Then from the inventory, a spear emerges, like Apollo's current state his body strangely matches his weapon.
A black iron shaft mark with blue intricate symbols, while the blade is shaped like a leaf with a blue glowing light at the edge.
Apollo with his upgraded skills swings the spear with great proficiency.
"Now then let us start"
The symbols attached to the spear glow signifying its activation.
"Strike!"
One swing immediately wipes out the rushing beasts.
[!?]
"Don't be too surprised I lost lots of resources just to make this"
[Is this the reason why you rob those soldiers you killed?]
"Yup their weapons were the finishing touches my weapon needs"
He swings his weapon again and a blue light instantly kills every enemy that tries to approach.
[Notification Alert!
The space began to be distorted by the Creator's spell!
The black hole had begun to enlarge!]
With those alarming notifications, Apollo suddenly felt the sudden pull. As he looked at the source of it, a black hole was indeed there.
"My spell really is powerful"
Void and space are the same but somehow can be different depending on the mage who handles them. Different theories with just one ending and source that is void and space. However, Apollo combines the two and creates a spell which greatly harms everyone if it remains uncontrolled.
Beasts are being swept inside an endless pit but Apollo has no plans to stop it yet. Despite the growing power of the black hole the amount of enemies was still there. Apollo merely made a scratch towards a huge enemy and the big guns haven't even entered yet.
[Do you have more weapons with you?]
"Yes but no worries I am just getting started"
The black hole intensifies even affecting the beast that is about to attack Apollo.
[This is not good Creator! Your spell is distorting the space]
"It's because of the intense gravitational pull that creates an intense warping effect"
[Won't the space collapse?]
"Don't worry it won't"
Some beasts began to be grind by the intense beat of gravity while Apollo raised his spear to release another one of its ability
The symbols on the weapon intensify weaving into a spell.
[Wait isn't this?]
Three colors signify three elements while ten rings show the level and strength of the spell.
"Fusion magic, death eater"
Water, earth and darkness combine into a spell that soon breaks the ground. While Jeremiah was busy doing skill synthesis he didn't expect his Creator to enchant such a powerful weapon.
Giant black roots sprouted from the fissures before trapping the beast it could reach. The thick outer layer of the roots made it impossible for the demon beasts to break it and so the slaughter continued while Apollo watched everything unfold.
"I need to conserve my energy but first how did the tracing go?"
[I already track them Creator, we can also use the pad since I have configured the security code for it]
"Good I think we already did well, we should let the soldiers take the rest"
His wings stretch out before flying into the sky, there while he floats midair he takes one last glance at the black hole, chanting one last command on the spell.
"Ten seconds," he said before flying towards the end of the forest.
[Here it is Creator]
The teleportation pad glows signifying its activation.
"Will the enemy be alerted if we come through this pad"
[It's fine Creator I make sure they don't]
"Alright I'll leave the rest to you"
He calmly steps on the pad and lets it guide him towards its designed destination.
...
"Where did that creature go?" a man asked while his body was being guarded by white armour.
"Sir paladin we lost track of him went he flew up"
"Damn it! Find that beast immediately we can't report this to the archbishop!"
"Yes sir paladin"
A series of frantic steps reverberated on a temporary barracks.
All priests and paladins hurried to amend the situation they thought they had full control.
"What happened you told me no one can break your spell!"
"And you also told me you have taken care of the spell breakers!"
The pressure soon made their temper worse and blaming others became apparent.
"You shouldn't be blamed you did your job well"
"He must have lied about his abilities to get the blessing from the lord Nirvana"
"He is blaming you for his incompetence"
"You must stop that person at all costs!"
"Right! It's not my fault but yours!"
Soon the blaming intensified until it became physical, first was thrown while spells injured others.
Soon the barracks became engulfed with violence as blood covered the ground.
"What nonsense is this!"
The brawl came to a halt when a presence empowered the intense hatred in their eyes.
"What are you all doing? How can we achieve our holy task if none of you are capable of remaining calm in a situation like this?"
"We are sorry bishop we didn't think things through the situation"
"We are sorry Bishop"
"Good now back to your work we must make sure that the siege will be successful"
"Yes bishop"
The Bishop nodded feeling proud of how he handled the situation. Then when he saw everything running smoothly again he decided to leave.
"Bishop Les, what happened?"
"Nothing Bishop Sil I just handled some misunderstanding among the paladins and some younger priests"
"That is good to hear after all everyone is an essential part of this plan"
"I just worry about one thing"
A third bishop said while observing the current situation of the breakout from an orb.
"I just worry that someone from the other temple leaked the information about our attack"
"What do you mean?"
"Think about we have no spies but somehow the city was able to prepare for our attack. I am sure someone deliberately leaked information in order to screw us"
"Well could it be the first temple they been adamant about attacking first"
"Those bastards don't they know how many resources we lose just to prepare for this moment"
"If we fail I'll definitely have a talk with the priest of that temple"
"Right the seventh temple won't let this despicable act continue"
While their talk continues the third bishop excuses himself. As he leaves in a secluded area his body morphing into an unknown creature.
"We are done here Jeremiah" he said before disappearing.
