We walked even further inside and each step we took creates echoes that reverberate inside the desolate temple. There were traps but Jeremiah had taken care of it.
"Just a little further"
I said while following the map which came from the archbishop's memories.
"Just what do want to get here"
Alicia finally asked it seemed she already had an idea of what I wanted to do. After all the temple is covered with clues I'd be worried if she didn't notice anything.
"Without the five there is no way you can do this"
She added then her eyes began to pierce me as if telling me to hide nothing.
"Tell me Apollo how will you open a door without its keys"
However instead of answering I laugh
"My dear Alicia, who says I don't have a key?"
I saw how her expression changed it seemed she was bewildered by my words however what she thinks doesn't really matter. What I need is her strength that's all that matters.
"We are here" I said without even explaining the meaning of my previous words.
But it seems Alicia was already satisfied from what I said earlier that she didn't say anything, instead, her eyes showed expectations and curiosity. Enjoy exclusive chapters from m-v l'e|-novelhall.net
I don't know what's happening inside her head but at least she trusts me.
[Creator I have removed all traps you can proceed now]
"Thanks"
Right in front of me was a steel door covered with inscriptions and I didn't waste any more time and decoded its password. A faint glowing light suddenly comes and ignites the door. All the symbols, all the magical runes all come to life once I crack the puzzle that protected the door, and then a creaking sound enters my ears. The door finally opens and...!?
What's this?
How should I explain this?
The place looks like an altar with all the candles lit, I can tell it was enchanted since there is no way a candle can last like this. In the middle of the room is an iron box covered in runes, behind the said box is a sculpture of the man I was familiar with.
[It will be strange if you didn't, after all, you once disguised yourself as him]
Yes, that's right it was the human sculpture of Nirvana standing high and mighty with his hands holding a scepter.
"He is being depicted dramatically"
Alicia voiced out the same thing that makes this room weird.
"Yeah I agree"
I said feeling even more weirded when I saw the tapestry at the walls of the room.
"Apollo"
"Yes?"
"Let's do what we came for, the longer I stay here the faster my patience will run out"
I couldn't help but laugh, yes I definitely understand her.
"Then shall we start?"
I asked and her expression changed.
I know she is preparing.
"You may proceed"
With those words from her, I walked slowly into the middle of the room and approached the iron box.
At the lid of the box are five stars that are carved like constellations in the sky. I put my hand on top of it and ordered.
"Jeremiah activate all the copied blessings now"
[I will give you a warning Creator, activating all the blessings will take a toll on your body, and even if you increase your stats it can't help you elevate its effects.
A God's blessing is different from any other skill so I am reminding you, my Creator]
"It's okay I will be fine so go ahead and do what I command"
Then the five stars in the box glow and begin connecting. I felt my body boil until a blinding light devoured me.
It's here finally the final battle is here.
"Jeremiah boost me with essence"
[Afirmative]
I felt my body being energized causing a grin to form on my lips. I pulled my rifle again reloaded it and immediately pulled the trigger. A shot was released and invisible bullets flew straight to their target.
"Argh!"
I heard a cry and was sure my target was hit.
That was the second bullet that hit him but it was enough to gain a few seconds of distraction.

"Should I be thankful for the weakened effect of the seal?"
[Yeah you should!]
My body began to be clad in lightning, since his body nullifies any damage per second I need to be faster than a second.
[Please don't forget the skill Devourer]
"Yes I know"
A different type of lighting suddenly pulsates in my hand. Instead of the usual blue and white colors, a different color of lightning dwells within my palms.
"Thunder Aura, Black Lightning"
