Originally there were two Gods; the God of Order, Shanon, and the God of Life, Ren. Together, they made a world where creatures could run free and people could live in harmony. However, they were naive, thinking that everyone was good and commendable. And it was this naivety that led to chaos and death.
A mere 10000 years after the birth of the world, two existences came into being. Twins born under the Eclipse of the Night, the heavenly calamity that signified the birth of gods. Both were human, or so people thought, for they were half-humans born to a human mother and a demon father. Aden and Samael, as such, were named. At first glance they were beautiful children, but their perception of the world was anything but. It started with the murder of their mother, by the people around them. Caused by jealousy and hatred, and justified by the race of her heirs. Their father, in fact a demon lord, hunted by the so-called Heroes of the Nations, sacrificed himself for their safety. The twins were to be taken to a safe dungeon and raised in secrecy, never to see the world until they came of age.
But tragedy struck and the one supposed to raise them, their father's most trusted adviser and their uncle was killed. Aden, the one with the weaker mind of the two, let emotion overcome him and just at age 4, took down the assailants, two of which were heroes. In the ensuing chaos, Samael, unlocked his potential and used the strongest fire magic {Prometheus} to wipe out the oncoming army. Wanting his brother to be strong as well, he taught his brother the basics of magic, skills and fighting based on the book Samael found in his father's study.
//18 Years Later//
"Samael."
"I know... It's about time for them to be here."
" ... I'll take the Hero's party."
"Fine by me. But..."
"Brother?"
"There's more than there should be..."
'Wait, could it be possible...?'
"Aden, they have a Virtue or a Commandment."
"I should go all out, right? If they are using such a dangerous toy, we should use ours."
"They might have Excalibur. Proceed with caution."
"Of course."
===Makoto Amakawa POV===
In front of me was a boy, not more than 16 years of age. He had jet black hair with a purple streak. In his right hand he held a sword that was seemingly almost as big as him. 'Is this a joke?' I thought. But I knew better than to judge looks. I used my [MYSTIC EYES].

"WHAT THE HELL?! He's way too strong!"
"Don't you know it's rude to intrude into someone's status window, Hero?", the boy said, with a grin that sent chills down my spine.
I calmed myself down. I'll defeat this one, just like all the others. As I raised my sword, [Excalibur], I saw a flash in the corner of my vision. There was some red liquid on my armour. It took me a moment to realize what had just happened.
I glanced to my left to see Altina, our healer, standing on 1 HP.
"W-what did you do?"
"I commend you for having survived this long", the boy continued, ignoring me, "but my brother wants you dead, and frankly, so do I".
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER, YOU BASTARD?!"
"I incapacitated your healer."
"You son of a-" ( Jerome )
"J-Jerome, wait!!" ( Altina )
"{Holy Wrath}"
"{Dark Omnibus}. Are you an idiot or something? You just saw me incapacitated your friend at a speed at which you can't even comprehend and yet you decide to attack me head-on without checking my level or stats. You could have asked the Hero."
"What happened to {Holy Wrath}? I thought that was the strongest spell?! What about the RPS system?!"
"Light and Darkness are equal and opposite. We can't win with numbers as we had thought. And his Status is too high, I can't use [APPRAISE] on him."
"Arc, he is a level 683 devil. I don't think we can win this."
"Six Hundred and Eigh-"
Arc, our mage, and the prince of the Ape-kin, was interrupted by a dark spear through his heart.
"You lot are too troublesome to be kept alive."
I felt my body stiffen in fear at the bloodlust Aden was emitting.
"Die."
His sword glowed in a black light, and not long after, I lost consciousness.
===Aden's POV===
What a bunch of small fry. None of them, except the Hero, broke the LV 100 cap, and even the Hero barely crossed the LV 130 mark. I honestly thought that the Hero's party would put up a fight. The healer survived my attack due to some skill but I finished them all with [AURA BLADE].

" I couldn't hide my lineage from you, huh. "
" Your title is a dead giveaway. "
" Right. That. "
I used wind magic to get Excalibur from Makoto's dead body. At the same time I unsheathed Excalibur Morgana from my back.
I'll be honest. There is no way I can win this fight without these 2 Mythical-class weapons and my title. I check my status and weapons.

Excalibur Morgana allowed me to create whatever illusion I wanted and Excalibur allowed me to cut through anything. [ MASTER OF ILLUSION ] allowed me to use [ILLUSION MAGIC]. In fact, [ MASTER OF ILLUSION ] is the only way to use [ILLUSION MAGIC]. These types of magics are called Title Magics. [ GREAT HERO'S DESCENDANT ] increases all my stats when in battle with anyone with negative Karmic Values. Karmic Values can only be checked by the [ ____ EYES]LV3 or [ _____GOD'S EYES] Skills. So, not many people know about their existence. So, I am bound to win this right? I have every advantage over him. But the issue lied in our stat difference. He is apparently LV 683. I'm 2 levels above him. But my intuition says that even with all these things in my favour, I will only be a 'slightly difficult opponent' for him.
I buff myself up using magic and the spirits.
"Let us begin, Aden."
===Nelaeryn Yllaro POV===
"Sire."
A guard entered my room. I could guess what it was about but I might as well confirm.
"Speak."
"Yes, your Majesty. Lady Filmøs has entered battle with the enemy commander Aden."
"..."
'That can't be all.' I apply a bit more pressure.
"Also, Lord Makoto's Party has been killed."
"..."
'Please win, my daughter.'
"Sire."
'This power... it can't be…'
"Prepare the anti-magic corps. Double-time."
"Y-yes, My Liege."

A mini-sun the size of the moon appeared above me. I threw it at the Allied Forces Camp on the outskirts of Nightlily, the capital city of the Demonic Kingdom Helheim.
Soon, EXP flowed through me. My LV rises to to an obscene amount.

===Aden POV===
"Let us begin, Aden"
She rushes at me with the dual-blades.
'As expected from the descendant of the Great Hero, she can wield [EXCALIBUR] with ease. But she's still no match for me. Oh, how I long for a good, long battle.'
Befitting a mythical class weapon, [EXCALIBUR] power was off the charts. I'd say it was above average, but then again my perception of strength is pretty twisted. It was a long, elegant blade, suiting a person such as Filmøs.
"Well let's get this over with, shall we? I have better things to do than mess around with second-fiddle heroes like you. { SHADOW OF THE GIANTS }"
I summoned two Shadow Giants, each as large as a moderately- sized house. They started towards Filmøs, shaking the earth as they went. In the meantime I buffed myself up and charged flare magic in the process.
She cut down the Giants with ease, but in the instant it took her to do it, I fired off {FLARE CIRCLE}.
"I don't need to go all out on some small fry like you!" I taunted her as the ring of fire encircled her.
"We shall see about that.", she replied in a calm voice that made me uneasy.
Suddenly I felt her presence behind me. I turned around as she slashed with [EXCALIBUR MORGANA] aiming for my nape. I parried the attack in the nick of time.
That sword is too much of a variable. I might as well break it.
"This is getting annoying. Don't you know it's dangerous to swing weapons like that? Anyway, I'm bored, time to end this"
With my sword, I clashed with the sword in her left hand, [EXCALIBUR MORGANA]. And in the instant that it took her to parry my attack, I severed [EXCALIBUR].
"WHAT?! IMPOSSIBLE! It's impossible to cut a Mythical-tier weapon!" she said, finally losing her cool.
"Too bad I have a better weapon! I hope we will meet again at a different place at a different time! And be sure to become stronger so you don't waste my time the next time we meet. Until then, adieu!"
With that I activated [ NECROS ] and [SOUL HARVEST] and took her life. Now onto the broken blade. Samael wants it, so might as well restore it. I imbued a bit of my MP to restore the blade. Then I checked its status.

'That's odd… I thought [EXCALIBUR] was a Mythical-Class weapon… I'll ask Samael about this.'
===Filmøs Yllaro POV===
I rush at him with [EXCALIBUR] and [EXCALIBUR MORGANA] in hand. He appears weary of [EXCALIBUR] but not the other. 'So it was hidden that well huh.'
[EXCALIBUR] is the Racial Treasure of the Human race and [EXCALIBUR MORGANA] is the Racial Treasure of the Elven race. Lord Haru was a human who married into Elven royalty. So contrary to popular belief, the royalty actually has smaller ears than the common elf. Getting back on track, [EXCALIBUR] can be used only by a Human whose LV is over 500 or is the summoned hero. [EXCALIBUR MORGANA] can only be used by an elf whose LV is over 500.
Racial Treasures are unique items which can only be used by one race. The user has to be over LV 500 and be a pure-breed (people like me who are not pure-breeds can still use it but we need to pay a heavy price) . The only reason I am able to use [EXCALIBUR] and [EXCALIBUR MORGANA] at the same time is because of my title and blessing.[ GREAT HERO'S DESCENDANT ] is my saving grace in this battle, not only for the Karmic Retribution and Stat Buffs, but also because it allows me to use [EXCALIBUR] at its full potential regardless of race. [Life God Ren's Blessing] allows me to use [EXCALIBUR MORGANA] without paying the price.
"Well let's get this over with, shall we? I have better things to do than mess around with second-fiddle heroes like you. { SHADOW OF THE GIANTS }"
Aden summons two jet-black Giants, then begins buffing himself and charges up a Flare elemental spell. I can tell that that spell is dangerous so high tail it outta there.
The Giants attack my illusory copy as I cut them down and appear behind him. He uses {FLARE CIRCLE}.
'Yikes, that would have been bad if it had hit. Very bad. But it missed. Thank God for my high AGI.'
"I don't need to go all out on some small fry like you!"
'That's right so please go easy on me!'
I calm myself. He hasn't detected my presence yet, so I can get off a sneak attack.
"We shall see about that." I tried for a critical attack by aiming for his neck but he parried with the perfect angle to throw me as off-balance as possible.
"This is getting annoying. Don't you know it's dangerous to swing weapons like that? Anyway, I'm bored, time to end this"
Saying that he did the impossible and severed [EXCALIBUR] with his scythe.
"WHAT?! IMPOSSIBLE! It's impossible to cut a Mythical-tier weapon!" And that is a fact. It is simply impossible to cut a weapon which is the same rarity which can mean only one thing. His weapon is seriously OP!
"Too bad I have a better weapon! I hope we will meet again at a different place at a different time! And be sure to become stronger so you don't waste my time the next time we meet. Until then, adieu!"
When he said that I woke up. I looked at my Status and...

[BELOVED OF THE SPIRITS] was crossed out. I truly died at that time. My stats are also very low. [BELOVED OF THE SPIRITS] is a special type of unique skill. It can be sacrificed to get an additional life. I used it before the fight with Aden and it turned out to be the right call after all.
"I need to get stronger."
Yes, that is the only thing I can do now.
