Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTICE: The 4th Spell of the God Grimoire has been altered due to future story plot points. The copy spell [Xerox] has been changed to the counter spell [Reverse]. You can reread the previous chapter for its new description. It will also be provided below. Thanks for understanding!

[You have unlocked the Spell: Reverse]

[Description: Ability to copy and attack back with any Aura ability.]

[Spell Criteria: You must absorb the damage of any Aura ability completely before being able to copy it. You must also meet the Aura stat needed to use the spell: your Aura stat must at least be half of the original ability user's.]

[The ability you Reverse can be used a total of three times in 10 minutes.]

So, the only difference is that Tyr won't be able to save these abilities for the long term.

Everyone except for Goghfrey inside of the auction hall froze in place like statues, including those who were rushing to exit the place.

Like a fallen angel, a figure exuding ruthless amounts of malicious Aura slowly descended from the broken ceiling.

The pupils of Hanzo, Malon, and everyone else in the theater widened with shock and terror as they slowly dragged over to face the figure lowering from the skies.

Clad in a fully black and dark red robe-like armor, the figure's presence seemed to feel no different from that of a natural disaster.

He was tall, more than 6'5 ft. in stature. His skin was pale, and his eyes were an icy blue. His hair was long, flowing down below his waistline and floating ethereally.

"All those within thy Imperial presence..." The man spoke in a slow tone, his voice deep and commanding: "Kneel." He raised his voice slightly.

In less than a second, a resounding sound of clothing rustling echoed through the hall as every civilian fell onto their knees.

Hanzo's eyelids widened as he felt a powerful force push down on his back out of nowhere like the gravity around him had increased by tenfold.

He glanced over at Malon, who looked to be struggling much more than him.

The look on Goghfrey's face was of pure delight. With a broad smile, he exclaimed: "It's them! The two right there! Get them!"

As he said this with excitement, the Supreme Guard slowly turned to face him.

"Lord Goghfrey of the Southern Rock Saelfine State." The guard's voice echoed.

Hanzo looked over at Goghfrey with squinted eyes, noticing the man's smile fade as he gulped, as though in fear.

'He... doesn't hold full command over the guard?'

"Insufficient is your purpose to decree my summon... state thy reason." The Supreme Guard ordered at that moment with a calm demeanor and emotionless eyes.

"W-well," Goghfrey stuttered, as though talking to a parent after a scolding, "Sir Thaddeus..." He addressed him politely, "I know I shouldn't be pacing myself in any dangerous situations while you are appointed as my Guard... but these criminals have offended my very Lordship!"

The Supreme Guard, namely Thaddeus as said by Goghfrey, turned to face Hanzo and Malon.

"Do you wish to disgrace his Lordship?" Thaddeus exclaimed, floating down to the ground.

His feet touched the floor, releasing most of the Aura pressure on everyone's shoulders.

Malon stood straight, finally feeling as though he could breathe properly.

Hanzo straightened his shoulder as he stared at the Supreme Guard.

"No... we never offended any type of Lordship. That is not what we are here for." He said, seeming collected.

'Unless we want to directly harm Goghfrey, this guy shouldn't be able to do anything to us in terms of fighting or something like that... but it's weird. From what I understand, Supreme Guards are strong but in terms of ranking, they are still less important than Lords in this empire. Yet, Goghfrey addresses him as though he is a king...'

Thaddeus' head tilted to the side slightly, an unimpressed expression on his face.

He raised both hands in front of him, facing his palms downwards and placing them on top of each other.

At that moment, an enormous hammer materialized under his arms. His palms clasped the bottom of the weapon's hilt as the giant glowing hammer head sat on the floor.

It had streaks of red aura flowing through it, and several chain designs encrusted into its handle.

"For your crimes of thievery and disturbance, you will face the punishment of a severed limb," Thaddeus exclaimed in a heartless manner.

Goghfrey furrowed his brows, "What!? Ergh..." He groaned, withholding his anger.

Malon turned, staring at Hanzo. The short young man exhaled, gripping the hilt of his bow.

Thaddeus then added: "However... you're family bloodline will not be doomed, and your reputation will not be tarnished with the decree of death. Through thy eyes, I see that you tell no lie, and have not raised your weapons against Principal Goghfrey's Lordship."

Goghfrey's hint of sanity disappeared as he heard this. A frown quickly formed on his face:

"Nonsense! How can you be so forgiving!? These men have gone far enough! They deserve death rightfully due to the highest offense! Treason against the modes of the empire, such as Lordshi--"

"Quit your whining..." Thaddeus interrupted, speaking in a low tone while even casting a glance toward the Lord.

"The kingdom already deals with enough cases of disrespect. Although we all hold it in the highest regard, what is true must not be tainted."

His gaze turned toward Malon and Hanzo.

Hanzo spoke after a short pause, "Can we not have a trail by combat first?" He said, slightly desperate to somehow get out of this situation.

"There is no need. I have declared your conviction."

"How? What authority do you hold? Are you not only a Supreme Guard?"

On hearing this, Thaddeus seemed to squint his eyes. He paused, sucking in a breath of air before speaking:

"I am the Supreme Commander of National Defense and personal Imperial Guard of his highest Majesty; the Sovereign Warden of the Rock Saelfine Throne."

Hanzo's eyes widened slightly on hearing this, 'T-the Supreme Commander!? What the hell is he doing here of all places!?'
