《The End of Apocrypha》A Visitor
Advertisement
"Alexander Kartz is still better than that,"
"No, Angelo is still better,"
Angelica, Elizabeth, and the 2 midwives ignored the 2 idiots who were arguing, then the other midwife said...
"Are you certain of that name, Lady Angelica?"
"Yes, I'm 100% sure,"
After hearing her response, the second midwife formed a magical circle with seven edges beside Angelica's bed, filled with sacred runes and mysterious languages. The other midwife took the baby and then placed him in the center of the magic circle. After the other finished her drawings, she began chanting something.
"By the Archon of Talents Adonais, the Archon of Youth Yao, the Archon of Peace Belial, the Archon of Love Astaphaios, and the Archon of Truth Yaldabaoth, I bestow on this newborn the name Aeden Ignatia,"
As soon as she finished saying those words, the magic circle glowed, then a rune appeared on the baby's forehead, and one element began to appear on one of the circle's edges, followed by more elements until it covered all seven edges...
The baby woke up to this sudden change of events and then started to panic...
'What the hell are they doing to me? I feel like my head is going to burst wide open,'
When he tried to open his eyes, he was encircled by two random people, who were followed by four people on their backs. One of these four was most likely watching him from her bed, while the other three were uneasily observing. He could identify who was on the bed, and it was most likely his mother, but he couldn't see the other three and could only see their silhouettes, so he focused his attention on the two women who were emitting some strange blue mist while their hands were on the ground, maintaining the Magic Circle.
'Are they planning to offer me over to their gods or something?'
He was terrified at the thought of being sacrificed; after all, he had only recently been reincarnated. But after a brief period of suffering from an excruciating headache, he had an idea to stop everything...
'I guess I don't have a choice but to unleash my secret weapon now,'
He pretended to cry once more, but this time he urinated so that everyone would notice him and his mother would tell them about the whole thing. Since he was still a baby, he couldn't think of anything else. And what can a newborn like him accomplish? run? jump? HAHA
And all went well, and the midwives stopped their chanting and ritual, but then something unexpected happened that caught his family off guard...
She shouted, "Hurry!!! Seal this chamber immediately! "
"But why?" Angelica asked with a tense expression.
"Something shouldn't have occurred," she replied, then looked at Elizabeth and continued, "Madam Elizabeth, please seal this room at once before they notice it."
Elizabeth nodded and then followed the midwife's instructions without question. Then she cast an isolating spell, and the room was surrounded by a blue sphere that covered the entire room. After the spell was done, they sensed that they were completely isolated from the outside world.
"Would you mind telling us why you let my wife close this room?" Alastair said, his face serious.

They all stared at the midwife, who was roughly 35 years old and had brown hair and brown eyes, but she hesitated to respond...
But instead, the other midwife spoke up...
"You see, your grandson has acquired a dangerous power that, if sensed by the Archons," she hesitated and bit her lower lip, "all of us will be wiped out, and our presence and those who know us in this realm will be wiped away forever."
"It's really taboo for us to tell you, people, all of this," the midwife explained, "but our lives will be on the line as well."
She lowered her head, ashamed, and said, "So we don't have a choice."
They were all taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, for what kind of power could incite the Archons' wrath, and how could they have been unaware of it, considering that they were a noble family after all...
"What kind of power does my son possess and how do you know this kind of information?" Samyaza asked.
They all focused their attention on the midwives, but then the midwife replied...
"All healers and midwives are given one order..."
However, just as she was about to continue, the blue sphere that had been protecting them was penetrated by a light sword that none of them could see, and the blade immediately headed straight for the midwife's heart.
"Kill the child if their elemental affinity reaches 5 or higher," said a voice from outside the hole formed by the sword.
The light sword then returned to its owner, and everyone in the room stared at the owner of this light sword...
"Lord Adonais,"
"How?"
"An Archon?"
They looked at the being hovering with its two eagles but with a perfect human body, diamond-like eyes, a full white robe, and a light sword in his hand that just penetrated the isolation spell and the midwife's heart...
"Hand over the child now if it isn't the adventurer's house of Kartz," the archon stated calmly, "Or else your history in this country will be lost for good,"
"But why, Lord Adonais, haven't I served you well?" Alastair pleaded.
"You have served me well, but it is forbidden for a child to live who has five or more elements in its arsenal," Adonais replied, not budging on his decision.
Angelica then rushed to the magic circle and picked up her child beside the midwife that had just died...
"No! You will not take my son! " Angelica shouted as she embraced her child.
Samyaza then stepped closer to her wife and child. He then looked on the verge of tears at Angelica and then decided to speak with Aeden first...
"It looks like dad's going to get some milk for my little Aeden," he joked, then kissed Aeden on the forehead, "I'll be gone for a while, my child. I was hoping to teach you how to get gir- I mean learn how to hunt, but I guess we don't have the luxury of doing that."
"What do you mean? Where are you going?" Angelica demanded furiously.
But Samyaza ignored her queries and instead took out a black gem with an engraved rune in the center, used his magic to build a chain, and inserted the black gem into the chain, resulting in a magnificent necklace.

"This black gem is called a vision, and it was given to me by my mother," He smiled as he placed the necklace in Angelica's hand and added,
"Angelica, give this to our child when he is old enough as proof of my contribution to being his father."
"Where are you going, you idiot?" Angelica exclaimed tears in her eyes.
But then Samyaza turned away from Angelica's plea and shifted his gaze to the being hovering in the air, stating...
"To keep my wife and child safe,"
"Are you considering battling me, mortal?" The Archon asked, shocked.
"I guess we don't have a choice, do we?" exclaimed Alastair, before adding, "Elizabeth, go with our daughter and assist her in caring for our grandchild."
"No, I'll assist as well so that we can give her more time to flee,"
"No mother," Samyaza said, "we are more than capable of bringing this Archon down." He then turned to face the excited Alastair and said...
"Am I right, you dying old man?"
"Don't talk to me like that, you dying young blood,"
Both of them created a spatial void, then reached inside that void and grabbed their favored weapons...
Samyaza's weapon was a sword with two wings on the hilt with black runes surrounding it on the body, and it emanated a powerful black raging flame that could devour anything in its path. Alastair's weapon was a massive war axe with crimson edges on its head and runes carved on it, yet it seemed as light as a feather as he was only playing with it like a toy.
"An artifact?" The Archon said, with surprise in his eyes, "Well, I can't really be surprised. You're a family of adventurers after all."
They both smiled, then shifted their gaze back at Angelica, Elizabeth, and the midwife...
"You can both use Elizabeth's spatial magic to escape," Alastair ordered.
After hearing that, Angelica quickly exclaimed, "But I can help both of you!"
"Then who will look after our child, my naive wife?" Samyaza asked, shaking his head.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk like that to my daughter,"
They talked about the most pointless things once more, but then the archon flicked his hand, and the light sword was aimed directly at Aeden's head...
Ting!
Then a silhouette appeared, blocking the light sword on its way to Aeden, which they couldn't even see before...
"I can't believe you're going to hit my son when we're both distracted," Samyaza grinned at the archon.
"Forgive me, Lord Adonais, but you can't drop a single Kartz blood today," Alastair stated, then proceeded to exercise swinging his Battle Axe.
Then they both dashed at Adonais, who was steadily plummeting into the ground, with incredible speed.
Alastair sprinted forward, while Samyaza utilized blink to slip through Adonais's blind spot and aimed for his neck, and they both swung their blades with a force capable of severing any normal human body in half.
Ting!
Then hundreds of light swords appeared and surrounded Adonais just as they were about to hit Adonais' skin, rendering their prior strike ineffective, whether it was on his blind spot or in front of him...
Adonais calmly answered, "Good teamwork for a father and a son."
They both became outraged at his comment...
"I would never recognize this scheming piece of shit as my son in a million years,"
"You feel that way, you dying old geezer? Well, once this is finished, I won't even let you look at my little son! "
Then they came to a halt and observed the hundreds of light swords begin to move, and now we're headed for Aeden...
"Angelica, get out of here!!!" yelled Samyaza.
The light swords moved at breakneck speed in the direction of Angelica...
"BLACK FLAME PILLAR!!!!"
"SHIELD WALL!!!"
They both shouted, and a giant black pillar appeared, also with a wall of stone appearing to barely protect them from the attack...
"Angelica, Mother, and you, go out of here immediately and never return," Samyaza said, then he shifted his gaze to Adonais with murderous intent.
He roared, "I will never forgive you, even if you are an Archon."
Alastair now had a very serious expression on his face. "Lord Adonais, I can forgive you even if you tortured me to death, but leave my family away from this."
Noticing their inability to assist and the danger they are in, Elizabeth chanted and opened a portal that would take them away from where they are currently. Then Adonais attempted to attack the portal, preventing them from escaping, but Samyaza and Alastair stood in front of it, allowing them to safely flee, and the four of them dashed inside...
"I can't believe I didn't finish a single task," Adonais sighed, then focused his gaze on the two that remained.And both of you will pay dearly for it,"
"Don't underestimate us, Lord Adonais," Alastair replied, sighing as he realized his daughter, wife, and beloved grandson were safe, probably also the midwife, but he then added, "We've taken stronger foes before, and you'll be the strongest yet."
Without saying anything, Samyaza dashed again towards Adonais at a higher speed than before, but this time he went directly at him with no blindspot...
Cling!
His blade was so close to Adonais' neck, but the light sword was preventing him from landing it, but then...
"BLACK IGNITION!!!" Samyaza exclaimed.
After uttering those words, black flames appeared and merged with his blade, making it even more lethal than before. When Adonais noticed this, he dashed backward to retreat...
"Interesting," he commented calmly on the attack.
Alastair then appeared behind him, swinging his massive combat axe at Adonais...
Booom!!!
The room's floor was now crushed by the force that Alastair gave out, and the once-clean space was now in shambles. Then hundreds of light swords began to appear out of nowhere, eventually encircling Adonais.
"Well, this is going to be an interesting battle," Adonais said, smiling. "Show me what you have, gentlemen," he added.
Then they both dashed at Adonais, who was now encircled by hundreds of light swords.
