The supreme sovereign system

"Armament?" asked Artemis

Artemis saw the place that she stabbed, to be more specific, the skin of Alberto.

"Wait a minute…. Is that… cooper?" When Artemis saw the skin of Alberto, she saw an orangish part in the leg.

"I found it strange when I saw him, I know why now." Suddenly, the voice of Demeter came from the flower in Artemis's pocket.

"Demeter?"

"When that man entered my range of perception, I felt something similar on him. It's clear now after seeing his 'armament'. Artemis, this guy is blessed with Hephaestus' powers!"

"What!?" exclaimed Artemis.

"When Hephaestus was a little kid, he was thrown by Hera from Mount Olympus. Do you know how he survived?" asked Demeter.

"No, father never told me nor I was interested," replied Artemis.

"When he was falling from the mount, in order to survive, he developed a strange power. He begged Grandmother Gaea and she gave him the ability to transform his skin into something so hard that could endure the falling!" said Demeter.

"You gotta be kidding me…." said Artemis with a bitter smile.

Artemis looked at the smiling Alberto and made a small sigh before looking at Felio. "If we want to defeat him, we must act together. Sneaky attacks won't do anything to him."

"I was thinking the same thing!" said Felio while lifting his sword.

"He he, this is more interesting!" said Alberto. "ARMAMENT!"

Alberto's arm was suddenly covered by a sheet of cooper. He lifted his arm and went straight towards Artemis.

"HAAA!" Felio lifted his sword and put himself in front of Artemis!

*PAM!*

The clash between arm and blade made the earth shake a little. Artemis took the chance and she used Felio's back as a platform. Jumping into the air, she aimed at Alberto's head.

*PAM!*

A paned expression appeared on Artemis's face. Nevertheless, she didn't stop there. She propelled herself towards Alberto's back and punched it!

*PAM!*

Alberto's face made a small fluctuation and he turned around to hit Artemis.

"LITTLE ANT!" shouted Alberto.

Artemis retreated rapidly. Felio saw this and swung his sword once again.

*PAM*PAM*PAM*

Felio swung his sword while Artemis used Mark of the Hunter to attack Alberto's vulnerable points. Alberto defended and attacked accordingly, however, to his surprise, Artemis was too fast!

"I knew that this ability came with a price… and that price is his speed!" thought Artemis.

Every time Alberto used his armament, he's reaction time as well as his speed slow down by a lot. However, his body became more and more tough to attack.

"We can't keep going like this" thought Artemis while looking at her hand.

Both of her hands were bleeding and some bones were fractured. Every time she punched, she felt like she was hitting a rock.

"Artemis, we can't keep going like this!" shouted Felio.

"I know!"

*PAM *PAM*

"Buy me some time! I have an idea!" said Felio suddenly.

"What?!"

"I will show you why this sword is called Lion's Roar!"

Alfonso used Shadowless to enter in the battlefield. He was wearing a hood so no one could identify him. Although he wasn't as well known as his brothers and sister, his hair and eyes gave him away.

He marked a random soldier from the Arcadia's army. He were so focused on the enemy attacks that he did not notice that something had cut his throat until he feel something warm falling from his throat.

"What…" The man touched his throat, but it was too late. He dropped death just like that.

Alfonso immediately used Mark of the Hunter on an other soldier and used Shadowless.

"Something is off…" said Titio, who was looking at the battlefield.

He concentrated and saw a small shadow going behind a soldier and then disappearing.

"THERE IS AN ASSASSIN!" shouted Titio.

"BE CAREFUL EVERYONE THERE IS AN ASSASSIN!"

"FUCK WHERE IS HE!?"

"ANTONIO! ANTONIO HAS FALLEN!"

"FUCKING ASSASSIN!"

The soldiers of Arcadia entered into turmoil when they noticed that someone was killing them at the back of their lines. This chaos alleviated the pressure that the formation had. Currently, there were less than 300 men so if Alfonso didn't intervene, the formation would have fallen!

"It's that archer!!!" Titio was so angered that some veins were popping on his head.

"I WILL KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER!" bellowed Titio.

He commanded his horse and went straight towards Alfonso.

Alfonso, who was on a killing spree, was also surprised.

"Interesting, I am killing other humans but I don't felt as uncomfortable as I'm supposed I will feel. Why?" wondered Alfonso.

Suddenly, he felt a little shiver on his back. He felt an incoming danger coming from his back and moved to the right to avoid the danger, but he couldn't evade the spear!

"Ah!" Alfonso shouted while touching his injured arm.

The spear that was thrown cut his right arm, however, it wasn't a lethal shot. If he hadn't jumped to his left side, the spear would have perforated his chest!

"Who!?"

Alfonso looked behind him and saw a fat man looking at him with deadly eyes.

"Titio!"

"I don't who you are, but, you have constantly killed my men, and for that sin, you have to die!" said Titio. He took out a sword from his belt and walked straight to Alfonso.

Alfonso felt pressure. Although it was not at the level of Felio or Alberto, it was obvious that Titio wasn't an amateur!

"Shadowless."

Alfonso disappeared from Titio's sight and walked towards him.

Titio closed his eyes and waited.

Alfonso went for his throat!

However, before he could complete his attack, he backed up.

Almost immediately, the sword of Titio went forward, cutting Alfonso's hood.

"That was close! If I hadn't backed up, he would have cut me in two!" thought Alfonso.

"You… you are… the fallen prince, Alfonso Lockheart!" exclaimed TItio while looking at Alfonso.

"Hoh! So he was alive! It seems that I will have to make some arrangements. Hehe. Who would have thought that this boring mission would be a great opportunity to show off to that bitch," said Lucio.

He stood up, grabbed his sword and walked slowly towards the battlefield.
