I created my own system - Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: How unfair Chapter 271: Chapter 271: How unfair Exhaustion is already devouring the boy as he reaches his limit.

“Please obey me,” he weakly said; however, as the command was about to be established, something hit Apollo, sending him into the nearby forest.

“Nero…argh!” Nepheline, who was hiding, attacked and immediately received the damaged return; however, she didn’t die due to the replica of Excalibur absorbing the damage.

“It…

Broke?” Nepheline mutters, seeing how the replica of the legendary sword is in pieces, due to a single skill from the enemy.

It might just be a replica, but it’s not a copy of some sword; it was a replica of Excalibur, the greatest weapon out of all the sacred weapons.

“Argh!” Even with the power of the sword, she still receives some damage and is now at the door of death.

“That wasn’t fair; you knocked my body down,” a deep, inhuman voice speaks, putting the dire wolf in fear.

“I am sorry did I scare you?

You must have forgotten how there is more than one me on this battlefield” As he said those words, several shadows landed, drawing attention to the massacre that transpired.

All the powerful beasts on their side were dead, their cores were taken and stored away.

Nepheline remained strong or tried to remain strong.

Her body glows as she expands her skill to aid Nero.

“It seems Your Majesty is not a friend of pain,” he said as he activated the power of gravity to pin them down.

After that Apollo was about to use the four fundamental forces of nature to turn Nepheline into a radiation bomb.

However, just then, a power smashes into the air and disrupts his command.

A sigh escapes from Apollo, accompanied by dozens of him.

“What’s the matter, Your Majesty?

You look tired,” a sarcastic remark made Nero growl like a lion, and as he felt anger, the more power he got from the sword.

“Are you being arrogant just because you have the numbers?” “Me?

Oh, don’t be like that; if you want, I can fight you one-on-one if that is what you wish for.

The rest of me will just watch” That remark caused the former king to explode; his power and the swords synchronized, drawing almost all the potential of the weapon.

“Angry aren’t we, but are you sure you want to hit me?

If you attack with all your might, will you be able to handle the consequences of it?” he added, and in that statement, hesitation was evident on Nero’s face.

The tables have been turning, and now Apollo has the upper hand in the battle; however, it could still change depending on how each of them handles the situation.

“Pffft HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,” an unexpected answer came to Apollo as Nero laughed hysterically instead.

“Did he go crazy?” He asked Jeremiah, who reported that their opponent’s mind is nowhere gone into madness.

[Creator I suggest you remain focused, our enemy seems to have a hidden trump card] “You are strong, too strong however if you kill me the entire continent will become your enemy” “Okay Jeremiah I think that is our signal to kill our enemy” [Wait I think we should wait something is suspicious] “Demon!

I am a blood of the imperial family, kill me and you shall be marked forever by the four great families!” “But I am one of them,” Apollo thought while still holding himself back from stabbing his opponent.

“I wonder what would this guy feel if he found out I am one of the four great families, forget about it I should finish this” [Hold on Creator, I think something is coming out of him] “Hmmm?

Do you think he will explode?

Like self-destruct or something” [Not sure, but I have been detecting something it’s best to keep distance] With Jeremiah’s warning, Apollo kept his distance; however, he knows he can’t prolong this setup.

He needs to do something until the people from the imperial forces arrive and capture their enemy.

“We already have the evidence right?” [Yes, I already set it up when we were at the castle; I also opened all the vaults with secret documents.

I believe those are enough to put this guy to the gallows] “Then there is just one problem to settle” Excalibur is the weapon that is the symbol of the imperial family and the savior of humanity.

If people found out that such a weapon was wielded by the mastermind behind the church, then the image of the imperial family would be questioned.

Apollo stood over Nero, his figure imposing and expression cold.

Nero, even cornered, bore a smug look of confidence, clutching Excalibur tightly.

The golden sword pulsed faintly as if responding to its master’s will.

“You can’t kill me,” Nero sneered.

“I’m a member of the imperial family.

Do you really think I will be the one to be condemned?

I already made plans.

You shall take the blame and I will be the hero who tries to save everyone with the symbol of the savior at my hand” Apollo’s gaze hardened.

“You’re mistaken if you think I didn’t take your slyness into account before hunting you down.

I already compile all your crimes with evidence.

By now, the archduke should have them, and as we speak, your kingdom should have been raided.

Now who would believe your lies?

Especially when your crimes are exposed.

Do you really believe the imperial family would protect someone like you?” The former king, for the first time, looks frustrated at the current situation; however, Apollo can see that he hasn’t given up on fighting; a man like Nero will never let himself be caught.

“What do you really wish to achieve demon” he asked Apollo and the boy just casually answered with, “Peace” Nero chuckled.

“Peace?

Do you know how fragile that thing is?

And why do you even think that we from the church don’t want peace?

You are the one who came to us and caused chaos!” “Don’t waste your breath with foolish words.

I know exactly what you guys are.

Your sister company called the Monastery, did have its fair share of delusions, but what I am most concerned about is how you guys have access to Nirvana’s flesh despite the guy being sealed and then killed.

And how many more of his parts are shattered around the continent…Oh well, I don’t really need to ask…” He said so as he began to approach this time, Nero raised Excalibur and used its power as a shield.

“Don’t worry, this will only be painful, but it won’t kill you immediately,” he said as he raised his hand and tried to cast the spell Veritas.

Just then, as if by command, something suddenly hit him.

[Warning the power of the oath is taking over!] “Damn oath,” he mutters, momentarily halting his advance.

“Jeremiah, can’t you do something with that?” [I am trying but somehow Nero’s presence made this oath more complicated.] “Damn it!” he could just exclaim, however, unbeknownst to him, it wasn’t just him who was feeling that sensation.

From afar selective individuals have their bodies bothered by the oath, especially those from the four houses.

While Apollo continued to struggle, Nero was still in his defensive position, but seeing his opponent suddenly stopping made him smirk for an unknown reason.

“You know I will be more than happy if the four ducal houses were to come here instead of the archduke,” he said, causing Apollo to look at him.

“You don’t understand the bond between the imperial family and the four ducal houses, do you?

You might be powerful, but you can’t undo centuries of loyalty.

An oath binds us-one forged on the day the empire was built.

No matter what you do, that oath ensures my survival.

So as long as one of them answers my call before the imperial family arrives then you are done for” “Oh?

And what makes you so sure that one will arrive here?” Apollo said, trying to mask his disbelief at the new information.

“That is because, as a member of the imperial family, I can feel the presence of one of the oath takers, and I know they are all near this place.

One of the four ducal houses is nearby, and with their help, I could definitely get rid of you!” “Wait don’t tell me…he is referring to me?

I am, after all, the only member of the four ducal houses who is close by.” Apollo wanted to slap him, but just like Nero said, an oath binds those who are loyal to the imperial house, and unfortunately, he is one of them.

As the boy cursed his ancestor for having such an oath, he noticed that Nero was about to teleport away.

“Ah so that was the plan” Apollo commanded space and the teleportation was canceled, “Now shall we test the limits of this oath” Apollo became murderous as he began to bind Nero on the ground.

He was merciless, and when the oath struck in manipulating his will, he became even more crazy in attacking, making Nero believe that his enemy had gone crazy.

“Just where are those dukes?

They should be able to hear my call,” Nero thought as the demon in front of him went mad in attacking.
