Apollo''s Pov


    It was creepy seeing those pulsating muscles spread out and eat the man away.


    "How disgusting"


    I raise my axe and sh the man in pieces turning him into a pile of blood.


    [Watch out]


    As soon as the man in front of me died a spear reced his position diving right in front of my face.


    "WHOOSH!"


    Two arrows flew past me, one from a bow and one from a crossbow. I smirked once I saw it I knew that two archers were ready to save me.


    The spear halted and using that chance I raised my shield to redirect the position of the weapon, once I do so my axe went on to chop him to bits.


    "CLANG!"


    A crisp sound of metal shing came to my ears while my eyes saw how my axe was blocked by two des. A saber and a rapier.


    It seems they are recovering fast from Esther''s arrow bomb though that didn''t really matter.


    The ground turns into ice freezing the three enemies in front of me.


    "Let me some of your power!"


    {Yes master!}


    Ice went through my veins empowering my shield and with all my might I used my axe to bang its surface. The umted cold energy inside spread out turning into a piercing aura that prated their body. As it enters, their organs begin freezing until their bodies be brittle due to the cold.

    Their iced bodies crumble revealing a huge meat shield that absorbs my icy attack.


    "It seems he is still conscious enough to use his weapon properly" I concluded before urging Winter to assist me through his ice power.


    "To much use of ice may lead to them absorbing it, I should stick to closebat"


    Six arrows then fly past me targeting the remaining enemies. As they try to hit their targets the meat shield suddenly splits in half and reveals a mouth, it opens up and a tonguees out. This red and slimy object moves fast and catches the speeding arrows.


    "It''s eating the arrows"


    [It sure is]


    "Duchess that one seemsplicated to kill"


    Alicia said while reloading her crossbow.


    "I know and I can''t use all of my strength since I was informed this battle is gonnast until next week"


    "Next week?"


    "Yes I was just informed that more people are joining the new church, and now they are eliminating the other churches believing they are a threat"


    "The new church?"


    Alicia was a bit confused since the name new church wasn''t included in the ones they learned.


    "Did I perhaps forget memorizing some of the non-God churches?" she thought while focusing her aim towards the meat shield.


    [It''s moving Creator]


    Jeremiah warns me seeing that the flesh shield is moving. Slowly my eyes were able to see its wielder, a man who seemed smaller in build than Lenon yet bigger than normal people.


    I saw him smirk while signalling his six remainingrades to attack me simultaneously. Unlike the first four, they are more awake and aware of the actions they need to take.


    "Fighting them will be a bitplicated" I can''t help but say.


    {Should I help now?}


    "No, not yet, they will only eat your attack so wait for my signal"


    {Yes Master}


    As soon as I gave that order I saw the four people besides the shield guy disappear.


    [Left!]


    Instead of blocking I lowered my body and jumped as high I as could. With my higher position, I saw the four already circling the ce where I was previously standing. However, since I was up in the air I became an easier target. The remaining guy beside the shield man draws the string of his bow and confidently releases it.


    I only shook my head knowing his arrows were made from Nirvana''s flesh as well.


    "WHOOSH!"


    A silver light came and devoured the grotesque attack of the enemy. I smirked knowing it was Esther who released it.


    "Now then let''s say hi to my friends below"


    I raise my axe and fill it with ki as my body falls down due to gravity I use the world''s natural pull to add power to my attack. My axe fell on the ground causing it to destroy the ground.


    Then the four who were taken aback by my sudden strike quickly recovered themselves and immediately lunged forward.


    The first to recover immediately aimed his sword at my neck, so I used my shield to ram him, I seeded and took the chance to attack when he was out of breath due to the ramming. My axe went in towards his neck before being blocked by a saber. The razor-sharp des of the saber that is made out of sharpened bone push my axe away before rushing forward.


    As he closed in along with the sword user, they took advantage of their agile attacks to break into my defence. While I dodged and blocked the blow that wasing towards me I saw from my peripheral vision two more attacks from the mace and a machete wielder.


    I couldn''t help but shake my head, and so the moment those two attacked from my back, and the saber and sword wielders from the front lunged forward as well, I quickly shifted the weight of my body and took a step from the side. With their target gone, the four found themselves ramming at each other.


    That moment of distraction was all Alicia needed to send an arrow that was dipped from a deadly poison.


    "Argh!"


    They got hit and the toxin immediately spread out.


    "My turn"


    My axe made a horizontal sh to slice my enemies at once.


    "Argh!"


    "What is this!" I said seeing the pulsating veins of the flesh weapons.


    Despite their wielders dying the flesh weapons didn''t seem to die and kept beating like a living heart. The blood and muscles from their weapons began spreading out and eating their bodies. Witnessing something like this made my stomach turned, and so again I lifted my axe and chopped them all into the smallest bits I could.


    I felt my arm sore and began to question why Lenon chose an axe to pair with his shield.


    "Can''t he choose a sword instead?"


    But then my attention went to the remaining enemies which are currently being upied by Esther.


    "When did shee there"


    [When you were busy hacking your enemies]


    "Oh I see"


    I was so upied with cutting those moving flesh that I didn''t notice my remaining enemies. It''s good she had taken care of them though her energy needs to be conserved since this fight doesn''t give any signs of stopping.


    "I should help out"


    I rush forward taking my axe towards the man with a meat shield. My movements were swift however my opponent was still able to perceive my attack.


    [It''sing!]


    Jeremiah warned and I immediately smelled the rotten flesh along with its disgusting appearance. A tongue came from it blocking the axe that was about tond over the shield.


    "This is truly a horrifying sight"


    My ki turns into a blue like mes aura that envelops my body and axe.


    "Cut through it"


    I said putting more strength over however the skin of the tongue was too strong for me to pierce through. While I struggled to move I heard someone snickering and as I looked for its source I saw the owner of the shield, smiling at me.


    Seeing his grotesque appearance made me feel irritated,  his dishevelled hair and yellow teeth that seemed to haven''t been brushed for weeks, deranged eyes that filled with contempt everything about him made me feel irritated.


    As my anger escted a ck deadly aura began to emerge from my body. Soon it became a fog-like veil that spread across the area. It was a thick amount of blood lust that made my enemy scared.


    "What!?"


    Soon the murderous intent choked him and made him unable to breathe for a minute. That was my chance and my axe cut through the tongue until it dived through the shield.


    [You won''t be able to cut through it]


    "I know"


    It doesn''t really matter, after all, I am only a mere distraction.


    Esther''s figure came in while the shield guy was upied with me, her bow became a de and immediately decapitated the man.


    After his head flew into the air my axe hacked the shield guy to pieces. After confirming he was dead I looked back to see the archer but I only saw him being killed by a poison arrow. I smiled knowing where that arrow came from.


    "Where do these thingse from"


    I asked Esther as soon as I was able to catch my breath.


    "They are the followers of the new church"


    "A new what?"


    I saw her make aplicated expression as if she didn''t understand the situation as well.


    "I really don''t know either they just appear iming to be the new revolutionary church where anyone can join and worship anything they want. Since the empire allowed a diversity of religion the emperor let this church be however as time went on they began being violent towards the other churches, especially those churches who worship the Gods from the early ages"


    "And that violence had resulted in this war?"


    "Yes, I know you are confused but I am the same since I just received information about this"
