"Dual elements...Ten thousand black lightning barrage"

    The spell was cast and it landed right into the dragon. The remaining part of the city was covered with a barrier, so without hesitation, Apollo''s spell rained down upon the dragon. The mighty magical beast was defenseless under the combo attack of an authority and spell. And all it could do was wait for the spell to land.

    A loud explosion occurred, followed by a shockwave that broke through the forest that surrounds the city. This shockwave was already weakened due to the barrier that protected the city; however, even in its weakened form, it was able to wipe out the surroundings.

    "Ah, I knew the situation was too good to be true"

    As the smoke subsided, two figures emerged: one oversized dragon and one humanoid dragon.

    "Another one appears," he mutters as his gaze lands on the humanoid dragon, and he can tell it is more powerful than the oversized one.

    "Now how should I deal with this one?"

    .

    .

    ------------

    {Gods used to rule the world, but when they disappeared, it was us who reigned supreme. The one who was created to wield the power of nature. Even humanity would cower upon our presence, but now, how come such a creature born from madness came here?}

    "That is really an interesting train of thought"

    {!?}

    "Shock? Don''t be, entering your mind is very easy"

    {Argh!}

    A strong mental barrier can easily defend against mind bewitching spells however Apollo didn''t use a spell, it was an authority.

    "Fine, I''ll get out; it''s good to go easy on the newcomer." Apollo got out of the mind of the humanoid creature, but he didn''t miss putting his spear right through him.

    "You guys are not Nirvana, so I don''t need to worry, none of you can absorb attacks, so I don''t have to worry about how I need to annihilate all of you"

    Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and even the she-dragon, currently frozen due to the command, couldn''t help but fear the demon in front of them.

    "My demonized form puts my stats and skill in a bonus buff, so right now, I am ten times more powerful than my original strength, but now, after the new upgrade, I think it increased by 2. So the current me is twelve times more powerful than the original"

    The two enemies are immobilized on the ground, and knowing neither of them can move, so now he wants to extract something.

    "I need information so please be patient this will be over soon"

    Apollo was about to cast Veritas when Jeremiah''s warning suddenly emerged.

    "Tch! Nero don''t worry I already send a message to my pack they will arrive shortly, we just need to hold him off"

    "Sigh Nepheline you are panicking way too much"

    Nero just said while in his hand an artifact appears.

    [That weapon is a bit problematic, Creator]

    "We can just use the authority to destroy it"

    [No we can''t, that artifact has Nirvana''s flesh it will eat the authority that will destroy the artifact]

    "Oh, you are right"

    The surrounding mana suddenly moved, and this alerted Apollo. An unknown attack latch out even though the sword artifact in Neros'' hand didn''t move.

    "Incoming"

    [Incoming!]

    Apollo and Jeremiah both exclaimed since both of their senses alarmed them of danger.

    "Damn it wrong timing I only have one Mithril spear and the other me is using it" Experience tales at empire

    [You gotta use some alternatives]

    Apollo left a sigh and took out the two sword artifacts in his inventory.

    "Here goes nothing" he exclaimed as he activated Automatic machinery. Apollo wasn''t sure if he could influence an artifact, but if he could blend the authority with it, then perhaps he could create a new weapon for himself. One that can duel Neros'' max-out artifact.

    A light glow for a second followed by a brilliant sword. The unknown attack broke through the skill light of Aegis and was blocked by the newly created sword. A metallic sound rang, followed by two shadows that planned to follow the previous attack on Apollo.

    "Down," the boy just said, and for a brief moment, Nepheline and Nero hit the ground, but right after that, Nirvana''s flesh activated and absorbed the authority. However, that split second they kneeled was all Apollo needed to attack Nero first, though, to be specific, it was the artifact he was aiming for.

    [I already healed the broken tissues in your arm when you blocked that strike; I also strengthened your armor. Buffs are also added, do you wish for me to cast a conquering spell, the same way we did before]

    "Yes please do so"

    Apollo then raises his sword and swiftly hits Nero''s body, not wanting his objective to be seen. Then he uses his skill, Disintegrate, to run into his body. Nirvana''s flesh only works when the attacks are either directed towards the user, or the user could use the weapon and spread it towards his target. However, what if the attack is inside your body? Will you be able to control the flesh and let it devour the attack instead of you?

    Apollo wants to see how far Nero''s mastery of the weapon is, so as soon as he delivers his blow, he switches to the princess, though she is fast enough to attack him. The barriers were no match against her as she assumed her true form. A black ferocious Mithril dire wolf, and just like her name. The fur she has is as hard as Mithril steel.

    "That is one tough body"

    Apollo commented as he dodged her attack and instead knocked her with a straight punch. From afar a giant wolf can be seen flying across the other side of the forest. The impact shook the ground, and then the sky darkened as black lightning struck. Apollo wasn''t done yet. He manipulated the forces of nature and made Nepheline fly towards him. As soon as she came near him he would strike her with a deadly beam.

    "Right," he exclaimed, remembering something. "Where is Nero?....hmmm?...wait, did I kill him already?" He said, confused if his main enemy would just die like that.
