Chapter 103 A core
I know some of the oldest languages used before the empire but the ones used in the early ages are too hard for me to understand.
[I can do the translating]
"Thank you"
I really wanted to stroll around this huge library but I don\'t really have the time right now.
"Jeremiah gave me the current status of the soldiers"
[Calcuting....Analyzing.....
Analyze complete!
80% of the current mark areas have been planted with our token gifts]
"Good we should regroup with the others, but first we should take care of this..."
I excitedly glanced at the place again after I was satisfied I ordered.
"Put them inside the inventory"
[Affirmative my Creator]
A notification pops in front of me showing the inventory storage.
[Done Creator]
Due to the absence of the library, a deep hole in the ground was made, fortunately, it didn\'t fall on me due to Jeremiah\'s Earth spell.
"Jeremiah teleport me to Keith\'s location"
[On it]
A magic circle appeared on the ground then as I walked its light completely devoured me, taking me to the place I wanted to.
"Hey"
"Oh you are done"
"Yes"
I smile at two then my eyes switch to the person beside them.
"Good day sir"
"Yes, good day to you too...."
He then stood up and to my surprise he was as tall as my demonized form.
But looking at us he might look more intimidating with all the muscles and scars he has. My current appearance was the same as when I did the mission with Alicia. A black helmet encased my face and two horns, and then on my body was a black coat on top of my black armor.
"You are a peculiar being"
"I get that a lot"
"I apologize for the late introduction but my name is Lothar, chief of the Frostfang tribe"
"Apollo, one of your son\'s friends"
"Yes I did notice that"
"Apollo, should we continue?"
"Yeah we should start now"
Then I took out a small remote that controls the so-called gifts I made for this temple.
"Safety first"
A barrier was then forged surrounding the entire dungeon.
"Cover your ears"
"What\'s going on?"
"Just do it, father"
As they did what I told them I excitedly pushed the button and an ear-shattering sound hit the ceiling of the dungeon.
"Was something exploded just now?"
"Yes chief and please brace yourself more is about to come"
and just like what she said continuous amount of noise began hitting the entire underground tunnel.
I am impressed seeing how the ceiling moves and how strong the impact of the explosion is.
The entire tunnels in each temple have one thing in common. They are being protected by a very powerful defensive barrier, which is why no matter how crazy I attacked above no harm was done below.
"CLANG!"
Chains began to rattle as the dungeon began to shake however instead of panicking I was glad. For the impact to reach here means the explosives I used were really powerful. It was strong enough to even penetrate sturdy defensive measures of the tunnel.

"It seems we are going to stay here for a while longer"
And after I said those words more explosions came.
"Jeremiah alert the soldiers"
[Affirmative
Full gear weapon established]
Outside the temple were mechanized soldiers surrounding the entire border of the temple, their bodies were well hidden by the seal given by Apollo. Then as they received the command, their bodies began to glow until a weapon emerged from it. It was a long rifle which was built to shoot speedy enemies from afar.
[Inititing Gear mode...
Gear mode 1...
Annihilation...]
The bullets were loaded and when the chaos started they immediately took advantage of it. All the priests and paladins that being distracted by all the falling debris and fire were shot to death. The soldiers were programmed to aim at the head of every target unless someone changed the gear then the slaughter would continue.
Shoots came from the rifle causing the barrel to smoke and heat up. However, it didn\'t end there the bullets continued to be loaded while bodies began to pile up.
[Notification Alert!
Total kill count: 3647
Explosion left: 57]
The bullets used by the mechanical soldiers are the upgraded version of the one I used back on the hunting ground. It was a type of bullet to silently shoots and can make mana haywire. It can also be used to disrupt the surrounding mana and not just living beings.
Some of the soldiers would shoot the ground neutralizing the connection of the paladins and priests to their spirits. Then most soldiers would shoot two bullets on the same head, one to destroy their magic barrier and the second to make sure their target died.
The upgraded bullets also have another effect other than disrupting mana, once it blend in the surroundings anyone who breathes the disrupted mana would experience mana depletion. So the longer this situation continues the more people will suffer from mana depletion, and that would cost their lives.
As time went by some paladins and priests tried to attack their mysterious attacker although they failed to sense their position they could still use other ways, if they could analyze the trajectory of each bullet then they could somehow trace the person or being who continuously shot them. Even the archbishop was forced to step up even though the fight had barely begun.
As he observes the flying projectiles he proceeds to cast a gospel, however...
"PANG!"
A crisp metallic sound that felt like caused by a blunt attack caught the attention of the priest.
"Your grace please continue the gospel!"
A paladin declared while holding his broken shield.
"Your head it\'s!?"
"It\'s okay please proceed-...BANG!"
Blood splattered while his head blew up due to a bullet. The archbishop was flabbergasted and horrified, the brave paladin who saved him was dead right in front of him.
"How brutal!....this....this is inhumane!"
"Inhumane? Do you even deserve to be treated like a human?"
A unison of voices was heard from being born from darkness. Then suddenly the voices stopped speaking and a man in black emerged from the dark shadows cast by the cluster of thunderclouds.
"A demon?....or a devil?... No, it doesn\'t matter, I don\'t think a being like you have the right to talk about humanity"
The demon couldn\'t help but snicker then more \'him\' suddenly emerged at the fallen pillar and debris of the temple.
"You know when it comes to talks about being a human I don\'t the two of us had the right to speak....after all.."
The ground began to shake while a spear was summoned.
"Monsters have no right to speak humanly"
Thunder hit the ground causing fire to set the remaining houses.
"Oh Lord of Beasts heed my call let the...."
The archbishop began to chant and for some reason, he was way slower than the ones I fought before.
"Let\'s go fast!"
My body began to be clad with lightning and zoom across the temple going straight at my opponent\'s neck. I was confident that my speed would be difficult to block but then...
"FEAR ME NOT!" an unknown voice said and gospel was sent out of nowhere but fortunately I dodged it.
"THE LORD HAS COME!"
Due to some unknown gospel attacking me the archbishop was able to finish his chanting. A shot of black and white light transforming into a legion of wing beasts came to me. My spear spun and with its body clad in the mass amount of electricity, its accumulated speed was insane.
Thunder roars while blue streaks of light zoom across the ruined temple. It only took a second and all those wing beasts fell on the ground before turning into nothing.
"What!"
He was surprised but by now their reaction to are getting repetitive and it\'s getting boring as well.
Another gospel was shot out of one of my blind spots but I didn\'t bother to block it. The surrounding mana began to solidify and the attack was completely blocked.
I know they must be so surprised by now but I don\'t have really time for this. The effects of the bullets were also in full effect. I could see its effects although it seems none of them had noticed it.

A grin formed on my lips while my hand pulsated with lighting.
"Thunder Aura, Negative lightning!"
My spear became one of my spells and it turned into streaks of light attacking the priest who\'s been sniping me and the archbishop.
[He dodges it]
Now that is interesting, so I commanded my spell and the branches of lighting turn one. My spear which became one with my spell regained its physical form and chased after the speedy enemy.
