The supreme sovereign system

"He is coming," thought Felio.

"Alberto, whatever he's paying I will double," shouted Felio.

Alberto stood in his tracks for some time before making a grim smile.

"Felio, Felio, Felio… even you shouldn't be stupid enough to not know about the consequences that a champion has if he or she betrays their own hometown. Although Yuria doesn't meddle with human affairs, I will be punished if I strike against Arcadia, and moreover… I still want to try your blade," said Alberto with a sinister smile.

Alberto walked without looking anywhere else, as if nobody mattered other than Felio. He didn't have armor, nor did he have a weapon; he was just walking like a normal soldier, or even worse. However, nobody tried anything funny and Felio gripped his sword harder and harder by the second.

Alfonso was hiding. He had a hunch that, if he tried to sneak attack Excelio, Alberto would do whatever he did previously one more time, and this time, Artemis wasn't at his side so he didn't dare to show his face.

"Demeter, what is the situation?" asked Alfonso.

"I had a bad feeling Little Al. This Alberto isn't an ordinary person," said Demeter.

"I will do whatever I can. The troops are beginning to lose their advantage. The great majority have already used their potions!" said Alfono seriously.

The potions that Alfonso was talking abouy were the juices of Hygeia.

Alberto closed his eyes and retrieved a small object from his waist. It was a dagger.

The image of Alberto looking at him with that smile make him smile bitterly. He took a deep breath and gripped the dagger. He then retrieved the potion and took it in one gulp.

"Don't think that being is the archer is the only think I can do!" said Alfonso

He used Shadowless and proceeded to the battlefield.

........................

"Of course, it wouldn't work." Felio sighed.

The punishment of a god was something… estrange. Some gods didn't really care about betrayal, for example, the Shadow God, who loved people who betrayed others- even among his champions. On the other hand, there were others like Asterio who punished betrayal with death. It depended on the god or goddess what the punishment should be, however, the champions usually didn't wager in this kind of thing in fear that they might upset the gods.

Felio took a deep breath and took out his sword. His sword was know as Lion's Roar and it was made from the most precious metal in all Leitol and was a gift from His Majesty William Lockheart himself. Felio made this sword famous years ago when he defeated a General of Greycastle 30 years ago. Although the sword was astonishing, it wasn't included in the Seven Mighty Swords.

"Lion's Roar…. Indeed it's a fine sword. I must say that I am jealous of you for having it. It's a shame that today it will change owners," said Alberto who was already 10 steps away from Felio.

"Don't think too highly of yourself Alberto," replied Felio.

"Then come and prove me wrong!" Alberto while made a provoking gesture with his hand.

Felio gripped his sword with both hands and sprug towards Alberto!

"HAAAAAA!"

Felio swung his sword and sliced Alberto's shoulder. However, before the sword could reach its objective, Alberto evaded the sword effortlessly and punched towards Felio!

Felio evaded the punch and swung his sword one more time.

Alberto slayed from right to left and up and down with a frightening speed! However, Alberto was able to evade it.

*SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

*SWOOSH*

The sword made thundering sounds, it was obvious that each slash was lethal!

"Felio! Take this!" Alberto evaded the sword and made a side kick towards Felio!

"I can't evade it," thought Felio.

Just when the kick was about to destroy Felio's right side, someone appeared at his side and deviated the kick.

"NOW!"shouted Artemis.

She used both hands to deviate the kick of Alberto and then incorporate herself, she took out a blade and pierced Alberto's thigh!

Alberto looked surprised at Artemis. He didn't knew that there was another champion on Felio's side besides that archer!

However, Alberto just smiled at Artemis' attack.

"Too naive."

The voice resounded in Artemis's ears and she felt an imminent danger coming.

*PUM!*

A punch came from above, Artemis managed to retreat her head but the punch clashed towards her leg!

"DAMN!" thought Artemis after looking at her leg.

Artemis had an inhuman resistance and power as a goddess, however, the punch just now almost destroyed her femur!

She rapidly took out the potion of Hygiea and took it, the wound on her leg visibly healing.

"Artemis?" asked Felio.

"Alfonso asked me to protect you," said Artemis while looking at Alberto.

"At least I gave him damage to his leg. This will give us a small advantage," thought Artemis.

"Good ability. I must say that you took me by surprise," said Alberto,

Then Artemis felt something was wrong. Because… there was no blood!

"It's impossible! I used all my force in that stab, but it seems that… it only affected his outer skin!" said Artemis.

Alberto chuckled and took the knife out of his thigh. After seeing it, Artemis became even more shocked.

"The… the knife…bent!?" stuttered Artemis.

Alberto chuckled some more before throwing the knife aside.

"Its no use- unless you use something like Felio's sword, you won't be able to hurt me," explained Alberto.

"What is going on?" asked Artemis towards Felio.

"Alberto Kiltops, Champion of the Goddess of Metallurgy. He is one of the few champions that wasn't born as a champion but, he used the second method…." said Felio.

"Second method?" asked Artemis.

"As you may know, the champions are born as champions and they manifested their 'gifts' later on. However, there is another method to became a champion and that is… to kill a champion!" said Felio.

"KILL A CHAMPION?!?"

"Nobody knows why but, there are some gods or goddesses who, instead of punishing someone for killing his or her champions, they reward them with the powers of one. In fact, all gods abide to this rule. Only a few punish the killer. Of course, this is based on scenario that the fight was fair and square- sneak attacks and ambushes don't count.

"Alberto killed Fertrepo in the Sky Arena 20 years ago so he received the power of the Goddess of Metallurgy, and that power is what you are seeing," said Felio.

"I like to called it…Armament!" said Alberto.
