Hades Lionheart made his appearance, a legendary figure who played a significant role in this war.
"So he is one of the reasons this war is ending"
"Apollo is that the Duchess?"
"Ah"
With her words it made me realize the body I am desperately embracing. And unknowingly tears suddenly pour out of my eyes.
"Save her please"
It seems the illusion was too strong that I was being affected like this. However, her blood and vacant expression were already embedded in my mind. Seeing someone use their own body to shield someone deserves to be saved.
"I'll take care of her"
"Thank you"
Hades took her and immediately began to use his staff to cast strong healing magic.
"This might take a while" he commended while putting a barrier around him.
"Go and evacuate the area you mustn't stay here"
After saying those words he disappeared teleporting somewhere safe.
"Let's go," Alicia said urging me to come with her, without much of an option I answered.
"Yeah"
....
We all moved to a higher ground away from the center of the battle although at our distance we can still somehow see what is going to happen.
"So does anyone know why the Monastery exist at this time? Weren't they supposed to appear a hundred years from now?" Mackenzie immediately asked as soon as we settled down.
"Well, according to Esther it was..."
"BOOM!...BANG!"
I think he didn't hear me, no I think none of us can hear anything other than an explosion.
"My ears!"
"What?"
"I said MY EARS!"
"I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING!"
"So am I"
"What?"
Despite being far from the epicenter of the fight we still can't escape the impact it carries.
A violent gust of wind started hitting us until we began rolling on the ground.
Slowly my ears adjusted and the things I wanted to hear became clear to me.
~Look at you oh great God you are too dirty for a holy being~
I don't know who is this person but he kind of looks familiar.
[He looks like Samael]
"Yeah, that's right!"
Wait?
Could it be?
I took a better look at them and sure I found more similarities with my classmates Aaron, Keith and Samael.
"So the three people with the duke were the wielders of God's blessings!"
~For the blasphemy you all have caused, the Gods had sent their champions and descendants to kill every single member of your church~
The woman who looks like Aaron said, she really looks vengeful, unlike her great-grandson. I can tell from her voice and eyes that she is not liking the current situation.
~We will rise...once....the...they went to...sleep...we will be back!~
~Ah, this insect is still speaking, so what if the Gods went to sleep do you think they will rest forever? Once we called their names they will be back to aid us!~
The monster chuckled mocking the guy who looks like Keith.
~I really wanted to see the day that you all be abandoned by your God~
~You little!~
~Enough! We need answers you all know very well that someone is pulling the strings. I don't who or what is it that uses human faith and idiocy to cause chaos. We need to know the leader of the church!~
With the dukes words the magical beast began to laugh.
~Too late!~
~He had spread his wings far and wide, even if you kill us it won't stop! The new generation of Gods will soon arrive!~
The three wielders of God's blessing felt insulted with his words however the duke didn't let them take action.
~It seems you won't really speak~
With the beast's loyalty to the church, the duke gave him towards the three who gladly took his life.
"So it is not over yet?"
I thought while gasping my head.
"So the entire point of this exam was to show us this? Seriously you went through a lot of trouble for a message you could have said... isn't that right.."
I then looked at my side and there a person quietly stands.
"Headmaster"
