I created my own system

Chapter 93 The Church of Juanfonso

While the battle continues four little figures struggle to keep themselves intact.

"What the hell is Apollo doing!"

Casper shouted while hiding behind dozens of mechanized soldiers.

"We must move he told us we only have fifteen minutes to finish this"

"How can we move when the place is like this!"

Matilda felt aghast while Arabela kept holding the arms of the soldiers, afraid she might blown away due to the storm-like situation in the area.

The wind is howling as if a monster was guiding it and the ground is scorching hot, each step feels like being burned alive. The impact of the fight between Apollo and the archbishop made the area inhabitable, the air wasn't even safe for breathing.

"Let's go we have this barrier so we should be fine"

However, even with a barrier strong shocks could still be felt causing the four to cling for their dear life.

The three felt tired but still followed Samael's lead.

A few more moments went by and they barely made distance.

"Samael!"

"Just keep moving!"

Despite Casper's complaint Samael continued to move forward dragging his friends with him.

Thinking back then they were always like this, dragging each other in places the others felt reluctant to go to.

However, despite their complaint, their ending would always end up the same.

"Wait for us!"

They would always follow and support the one who takes the lead.

"The barrier is up ahead"

"Yeah I can see it"

Two mechanical soldiers then went ahead of them making sure their barrier kept them hidden and safe.

"Are you all ready?"

Samael asked while the two soldiers created a hole in the barrier.

"Honestly I am not ready to meet that man" Arabela said while her body trembled slightly.

"The betrayal he caused was something none of us will ever be prepared for"

Matilda said while gently stroking Arabela's back.

"We must continue moving forward" she added.

For the sake of the future, they must cut down the past.

While they mentally prepare themselves a distinct sound could be heard from the soldiers that effortlessly cut the barrier.

"I wonder what Apollo put on these soldiers that they can cut through things like this"

Casper can't help but inquire.

"I heard he used a different type of metal to make them strong and durable"

"It thought he used micro machines?"

"A micro what?"

"Wait we can have this debate later since the hole is near finishing"

Casper, Arabella and Matilda's heated discussion soon came to a halt due to Samael's voice. After their momentary silence, the sound of something breaking caught their attention.

"Finally let us go in!"

"Maybe because we are still too young, I haven't even awakened my blessings as well"

"You and I are different"

She said while trying to keep her voice calm. She might try to act like she is fine but her insecurities and doubts are slowly creeping into her heart.

"I know you already awakened yours" she muttered softly making Samael lean closer to her.

"I didn't hear you"

"No...I mean we are different because you have God's favor while I have nothing"

"God is fair Ara"

"Not for someone like me, I am an illegitimate child"

"You are the last of vassals so your origin doesn't matter"

"But-.."

"No more nonsense we should be happy since it's foundation festival!"

Samael took the hand of the little girl and dragged her towards the lively and festive land.

The church was named after the first descendant of the God of Flames, Juanfonso. Since he is the one who established this place yearly they celebrate to honor him.

"Hurry let's go!"

While the two run hand in hand, the church's plaza was already filled with people and merchants.

"It seems like the foundation festival this year is more lively than the previous"

"Yeah it seems so"

With the atmosphere being so happy the previous gloomy girl finally felt revitalized.

"Should we buy something?"

"Sure!"

While the two enjoyed their time they suddenly felt a presence behind them.

Curiously the two looked behind them and saw two familiar faces.

"It's Casper and Matilda!"

"Hi!" Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e -novelhall.net

"It's been a while!"

The four children happily embrace each other before heading straight to the heart of the plaza.

"How is the fort?" Samael initiated the talk as they walked.

"It's the same just people coming back and forth to defend against some demon beasts"

"I suddenly wonder why the islands surrounding this place are all dangerous"

Arabella wondered.

"I heard that the mana here is unusual that's why the magical beast ends up turning into demons"

"That's scary Matilda"

"What I am worried about is the coast of Evaristo, my father told me that the fort currently struggles to handle the breakout there"

"Cas, wasn't Evaristo near here?"

"Yes Samael it is near but no worries my father can handle it" he sounds confident though his eyes aren't.

While the four have worried expressions on their faces a sudden earthquake halted their conversation.

A sky filled with darkness came while the waters were dyed with blood. The church's bells rang wild causing the people to run away.

The dreaded situation arrives driving the festival to a halt.
