男男两根肉茎相互摩擦着

Each time Elijah\'s fist hit the empty space a huge shockwave would be produced. However no matter how powerful of an attack may be, if it can\'t reach your opponent then it\'s useless.

"His moves are too predictable"

[What do you expect from a mage Creator, he is doing way better than any mage whom you had put in the same situation as him]

Suddenly memories of the people he had killed flooded his mind. From the maintenance team to the professors he had trapped and killed them.

"For the past five weeks, I didn\'t get any useful information, I just hoped this guy could give the answer I needed"

While he continues to think his opponent already going crazy since he still can\'t touch his opponent. Elijah then took some distance and used a stance that immediately made Apollo frown.

An enormous amount of ki was gathered.

[This doesn\'t look good]

"Yup his duke rank spirits are on their way here it seems like my thunder lance didn\'t hold off like I initially thought"

[I advise you to get serious that guy is about to use aura explosion]

"I can see that"

Ki is an energy any human can have like mana, its quality and quantity might be different from other people but it is still an essential construction of a human\'s energy.

In using ki an individual had to go through three stages.

Hardening or physical reinforcement is the first stage, it is a way to prevent any external damage and strengthen the body.

The second is quite advanced it\'s called Release, it is the way an individual can discharge his ki outside his body and mold it into anything he wants.

An example of this is when Apollo manipulated his ki and turned it into a sword.

The final stage is called Aura, this is an above realm of controlling your ki, it could only be achieved if your senses and mastery of techniques are on a different dimension.

Currently, Apollo could only do the second stage and aura was still far from his reach.

"How can a mage do an aura bomb?"

His usage of technique was similar to Niko\'s so how can someone like him pull off a higher realm of technique? An aura is super advanced yet Elijah is pulling it off making Apollo surprised.

[Incoming attacks]

"I know"

While Elijah\'s aura began to form Apollo began to make his move, his speed was many folds faster than his opponent.

How fast is a bolt of lightning?

Some say it\'s 1/3 of the speed of light however it doesn\'t really matter. Apollo\'s thunder aura might be slower than natural lightning but it is still fast, half a second is all Apollo needs to finish the fight.

Lightning began to dance while the temperature soared so high it began to melt the ground. The melted ground bears the traces of the lightning path.

Thunder roared as if swallowing the area and a creature clad in armor slowly made his way towards his enemy\'s attacks.

The blue streaks of light blinded the enemy and when they opened their eyes that\'s when they realize their severed limbs. Their vision was filled with blood while their arms and legs were lying on the ground.

"Argh!!!!"

Scream of agony escaped from his lips while his spirits who were about to attack crashed to the ground, their bodies began to disappear due to the damage they received from Apollo\'s attack.

"That one spirit was troublesome"

[The stag spirit was able to manipulate space, if it weren\'t for the skill you copied from Aaron you would have a hard time decapitating them]

"You are right, it seems like I can no longer prolong this fight"

With no legs nor arms, Elijah tried one last attack that would surely damage his opponent.

[He is self-destructing]

"Yes he is"

Elijah began to gather his remaining ki and focus them in his chest but before he could even get the proper amount of energy needed to self-destruct he felt his consciousness waver.

"No!"

He could only say before succumbing to the embrace of darkness.

Apollo caught his falling body, glad that he brought the sleeping powder he made before.

"Store him away, Jeremiah"

[Are you disappointed you didn\'t see the thing you were anticipating?]

"Of course, Grandpa Alger told me there is a special grade of spell the monastery was using. I was hoping to see some of them tonight so that I could create a countermeasure spell towards the higher level type because I am sure I will encounter them in the future" he couldn\'t help but say still disappointed with the green giant man he fought.

Elijah was being taken inside the inventory when Apollo felt an impending danger.

His lightning spread out creating a barricade from a specific direction.

A second after he built his defense a black fire landed on it.

An intense wave of heat crashed on the ground when the mysterious attack hit Apollo\'s lightning barrier.

[I didn\'t detect that!]

"It\'s okay because I did"

Apollo said trying to calm Jeremiah\'s frantic exclaims.

"I am impressed with that block, I personally thought I had you there"

A voice sounded from the void untraceable even for a specific individual.

[I can\'t find him!]

"Calm down Jeremiah switch your gears and use a soul-based sensor"

[I will Creator]

"You are calm despite not seeing me"

"It\'s fine I don\'t really need to see you"

The sky darkened hiding the moon while the thunder roared as if following Apollo\'s will.

"You are a demon yet you are not?.... I thought for a moment you are a devil but no"

He looked at Apollo from head to toe before saying "Devils don\'t have this crazy aura surrounding them, their aura are very tame, unlike demons. You can compare them to a quiet storm, you can\'t be a devil since devils can\'t have this extremely corrupted power"

"You are such a mysterious creature" he added.

Soon enough the space began to crack, and from its opening, a man came out wearing the same priest outfit as the one Apollo had confronted before.

"A priest from the monastery"

"Indeed I am one of the few chosen people to carry out the will of Nirvana. My name is Sergio Monte the fifth bishop of the tenth monastery"

[Creator I think you have found the person you are looking for]

"Yes maybe"

However, his eyes were fixated on his stat and his opponent\'s.

"Now just what the hell is going on"

[I can\'t pry on his skills, I felt like there is a blanket covering his stats]

"Alright I\'ll get serious this enemy might actually detect my speed"

[Possible Creator seeing his skills and ability are hidden from us]

"Are you done with your thoughts?"

[!?]

"!?"

At that moment Apollo and Jeremiah became confused. No, they might have been surprised or even alerted by the situation.

Sergio was clad in blue lightning and phased at the same speed as him.

"Third gospel of the holy book. Don\'t do to others what you don\'t want to be done to you"

Seeing him take out an old grimoire made Apollo remember the spells Alger was referring to.

"Their spells are best on religious context from different beliefs"

Lightning began to dance as Apollo and Sergio entered a battle of speed and power.
