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.
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"
