"I won''t die!"


    While me and Jeremiah talk the vampire priest casts a gospel to finally attack. A ck-tainted light draws a magic circle while a pool of bloodes into my view.


    My mind went focused and time seemed to slow down as my spell formed inside my head.


    I raised my hand a magic circle was drawn.


    Fusion magic, Fire and Darkness element, Eclipse.


    Light is a magic which stems from fire. It creates heat from its electromaic radiation and is visually appealing to the eyes. Darkness is the absence of light, its alter ego and counterpart.


    My spell eclipse absorbed the light on the surroundings leaving darkness in its wake. Mana was also pulled adding power to the spell. I felt the air changes when both light and darkness bypass each other. Then a tiny ck sun was made.


    Combining the two created the harmony I needed to destroy the gospel.


    "Argh!" I heard a person''s painful cry but I didn''t stop and continued manipting my spell.


    The spell was thenpressed into a tiny dot before flying straight to the archbishop.


    The surrounding mana was parted due to my spell while my enemy proceeded to protect himself. My ears heard the sound of a prayer and my mana suddenly froze.


    "I can''t breathe"


    [The temperature is getting low as well]


    That was unexpected, never knew a gospel that was yet to be fully cast could affect me like this. Which could only mean that the spell he is about to cast is one on the highest level.


    [The temperature is dropping...


    Activate the heating system...


    The heating system failed...


    Recaliberating....]


    I tried to regte my breathing but it was no use I could feel the temperature drop. This made me realize that my spell wouldn''t be able to win against whatever my opponent was casting.


    So using the spell Eclipse as a base I began to modify the spell before it hit the target.


    The temperature continues to drop even causing my spell to slow down. I took this chance to quickly change whatever the things I wanted to modify in my spell. However, I could feel my mind getting cloudy due to the freezing temperature.


    I tried to breathe but the frozen air was drying my throat and constricting my airway at this rate I would lose more of my body heat.


    [Warning temperature has now dropped to a dangerous level!


    It is advisable to leave the area immediately!..


    The current temperature is being regted...


    Adjustment is being done!...]


    "Don''t worry I can definitely feel that the temperature is not good for me"


    I move and readjust my position, in my eyes, time moves slowly but in reality, everything moves normally. It''s just my brain that processes things faster than normal humans, no that''s a bit wrong to say, the correct way to say it, is that mages have a faster mind for processing and casting spells while martial artists rely more on their body and instinct.


    My mana suddenly spiked up and began to cover my entire body. A thinyer of blue halo became my shield and nket from the prating temperature.


    [Temperature is stabilizing...


    The heating system is fully operated!


    Blue mana property activated!]


    My mind then became clearer that''s when I saw my modified spell hits on the archbishop''s gospel. I felt the cold wind became even more apparent however it didn''tst long. A ring of mes burst and the gospel''s full power emerged shing with my mine.


    An icy white crystalline body sculpted in the shape of a wing ant came into my view. It had a crown made of ice while a mysterious wheel of ice kept spinning around his body.


    "What''s the purpose of that?"


    [For aesthetic purposes?]


    I was just being sarcastic you don''t really need to answer.


    [...]


    From extreme cold to extreme heat, the spell eclipse was modified and turned into a different one. The light turned into pure fire while the darkness element gave in to its sub-element ck magic.


    A sizzling sound came to my ears along with the temperature escting fast.


    Fusion magic, ck sun


    The wing ant raised its wings and flew towards the ring of ck fire. The wheel made of ice spun so fast creating a snowstorm. It was supposed to affect even the weather however the intense heat from the ck sun cancels this effect.


    It was a really powerful spell that came from the Head of the Mage tower. It was one of the spells he gifted to me.


    "CRACKLE!"


    The colder it bes the more powerful the mes burst.


    This confused the archbishop however he soonposed himself before disappearing.


    [Left]


    "Got it"


    Vampires are known for their usage of blood magic and dark arts. This is all the result of the vampire creation magic and thus they became quite unpredictable when ites to fighting.


    "CLANG!"


    A metallic sound can be heard along with the scent of blood. There he is behind me holding a sword made out of blood. I was unscathed while he was wounded from top to bottom. As soon as he appeared my spear obeyed my will and blocked the archbishop''s attack. It wasn''t just a mere blocking as soon as the sh happened a spell activated on my opponent''s foot frying him up severely.


    "Argh!"


    It was a different type of me one that vampires hated the most. Then he moved again his movements were fast and almost unreadable. He effectively uses the ongoing catastrophe made by our spells to hide and ambush me.


    Well unfortunately my eyes are endowed with lenses that scan and analyze the movements of my opponent. The only way you could escape me is by bing even more fast than my eyes.


    He appeared again but like what happen before my spear was already there waiting for him.


    "How did you!"


    "You are slow"


    I can see all your movements even the ones you will do in the future.


    A reddish-ck magic circle suddenly appeared below me but it didn''t even fully manifest because it was immediately cancelled.


    "I am not done yet"


    He shouted while being chased by my spear.


    I could only smirk while still putting up a huge barrier since my spell ck Sun was still shing with the archbishop''s gospel.


    "It burns"


    [The heat is already being blocked by the system the one you are feeling right now is the residual heat]


    "Residual heat?"


    This?


    I set my eyes around the prevous funeral-like room and could only recognize a small remaining pir. The rest turned to ashes due to the heat while the clouds created a mushroom-like structure. The sh created a huge explosion that wiped out the entire area.


    [Iing]


    Jeremiah warned and my eyes saw a blood magic being widely cast on the ground.


    "To think he can still cast a spell despite being upied with my spear"


    I couldn''t help but smirk, he is indeed the strongest priest inside this temple.


    [Another one ising]


    A sea of blood surrounds me, it is spontaneous and no casting is needed in its process.


    "It''s one of a vampire''s skills, blood magic"


    The sea of red fluid flowed and turned into spikes that began to fly towards me. I could only smile seeing how their speed was something I shouldn''t take lightly.


    But when I was about to move my attention was snatched by two icicles that grazed my cheek.


    That was close fortunately I dodged, if I didn''t and waste even a second my head would be impaled right now. Instant death would be my situation. The wind howl and my eyes saw more icicles flying while the bloody spikes were on their way here as well.


    I didn''t panic but instead summoned something.


    A burst of ck mes came to me causing the icicles and blood to burn. Well if you think this spell would disappear easily well think again.


    "Fusion magic, ck sun threefold"


    This is a new type of upgrade I got from the system. I now can increased the level or even the stats of the spells I cast. Right now I can increase the strength of the spell three times without wasting any mana. All I need to do is order the system to do it for me. But one of it''s requirements is that my spell needs to be already been fire or cast before being upgraded.


    The mes that were almost destroyed due to the archbishop''s gospel came to life due to my interference. Normal mages can''t change or modify spells upon being cast but due to the system, I could do such a thing.


    Rings of ck fire intensified while the blood and ice began to mix together. Their speed and power suddenly tripled so I increased my spell''s power.


    "Fusion magic, ck sun tenfold"


    The air began to heat up while the ground was scorched badly. Melted rocks are tuned into ava-like state while the entire area turns into a volcano''s mouth due to its current state. Iced blood spikes then came raining at me but the defensive power of the mes prevailed.
