Church[/h1][/center]

It was decided that to simply linger was unwise. Archer was a hero who won many great battles, but his nature was that of one who did not linger in the massive epic brawls of other legends. To back away was to risk what they took through their transgression. They could not lose a servant or a master, but they must not sacrifice the Church also.

It was through talking with his servant that he came to a decision. As the woman of the cloth met with the man of the Japanese Army he in turn walked into the depths of the church. They had to reposition. Archer's ability to hold ground by himself was low and his own abilities as a magus could not be brought out in combat like this. Leaving the church was ironically their best method to hold it. On the plus side Archer was one who could strike from a distance, and due to their presence, even for a short time within, knew the layout of the place. Backup would be coming and there was a way they could keep the enemy from simply walking into the church.

With a heavy-hearted sigh Brauer left one of his creations, a strange bell within the church. As Archer and Brauer left the church, the rush of a servants speed taking them away from the site it whirred to life. Expanding outward the field of the device turned the church into the belly of the beast. There was no grand ceremony, only the hum of the device as it established itself, reaching out to envelop the home of god with its decaying touch. All that lived would be rendered into lifeless and foul material. Bugs that hid within the ground below, and any vermin that lingered within lost their form, sagging as their fluids turned into an ooze that bulged and ruptured veins.

As much as he disliked playing this hand of his this early, he felt a small degree of relief with parting with it, even if only temporarily. A unpleasant creation simply meant to end life, the first creation Brauer could say he made solely for the purpose of being a weapon. He feared that it would be far from the last.

Once they reached a suitable place to watch over the church, contest any attempts to enter and reclaim it Brauer contacted the others, letting them know of his tactical retreat and the idea to contest the church in a manner that was less dangerous for him and Archer.
