Chapter 130 What happened?
Chapter 130 What happened?
"According to our professor and the book he gave us the war started when the people worshipping magical beasts and other objects clashed against those who worshipped the Gods in the early ages!"
Keith said still felt a bit frustrated at this part since his mind had already felt cleansed when the monastery disappeared, however, it hadn't been a month yet he already saw a man using a gospel, and this made the boy disoriented.
"This is more like a trauma remembering session than a history exam"
Experience tales at ???
Mckenzie said while slamming his fist towards his enemy. It seems Riku's battle sense didn't leave him yet.
With all the confusion and questions that run through their mind, they recklessly slash any enemy they see, using them to vent the frustration they have.
Apollo was no different either his been thinking of any possible scenarios while tanking the rain of insects.
[Should we proceed to use some of your abilities?]
"Nah I am good"
Somehow unknowingly each of them began using the skills and martial arts of their previously possessed character.
Esteban's sturdy body and explosion strength also remained inside Apollo. They say once a body experiences a sudden change or phenomenon it remembers that feeling. Perhaps even though it was an illusion, their bodies were able to gasp the power and momentarily copy it. It might not be the same but it could manifest the same feeling it has when they first use it.
"Apollo more are coming!"
Alicia warned while using her staff to cast as many spells as she could.
Apollo clenched his teeth finally feeling the pressure of the fight. If he moves then the spell will blast off toward his classmate who was still fending off the approaching enemy soldiers.
"What are the skills of this person?"
He began to ask, but due to the situation none of them was able to identify the person they possessed and that is why they don't know what skills it has.
[No need to worry about that, my Creator because based on the appearance of the person you are possessing he should be the warrior Lenon, the one from the northern region]
"You mean the guy who has a high-level spirit?"
[Yes my Creator it is that Lenon]
"Thanks"
Apollo ran his mana across his newly acquired body and immediately he found the place of his spirit's insignia. And just like what he usually does when summoning his spirit he began forming his connection using the insignia. His body was filled with mana while the mark of the spirit glowed.
Then the mark spreads out until it goes to his foot, and the extended mark weaves a magical circle until a cold and powerful mana escapes from it. The temperature suddenly drops along with a freezing cold wind that forces the army of insects to stop and die.
"Hoo..."
Apollo could finally breathe since the pressure on his shield had lessened. Though the air was cold it didn't give him any discomfort instead he felt comfortable with the cold temperature.
{Master you had called me}
The spirit spoke its crystalline body and icy wings made the entire area frozen.
"Assist me!"
{Will do my master}
Alicia felt delighted seeing a spirit though as soon as she gazed at the spirit she realized something
"A body made from a fine crystal and white wings that were seemingly crafted from ice, the face of an angel while a strength that surpasses a demon. A being that was recorded in history as one highest-ranking spirits, Winter"
The spirit glided through the wind and its mere presence made the battle turn on their side.
[Creator it's chanting again]
A prayer was heard along with the distinct scent of blood. It was revolting when you smell it however with the battle being intense it doesn't really give much of an effect.
"Winter blast that man"
Apollo said while pointing to the mysterious person who is casting a gospel in the darkness.
The spirit nodded acknowledging his master's wishes, the temperature dropped immediately and drops of snow dropped from the sky. Wind strongly struck while the ground became frozen making sure that the target wouldn't be able to escape. A pool of water rises from the spirit's hand before turning into sharp glassy projectiles. The wind hums while the icy spike hurls through it.
The mysterious man tried to move however the ice had already frozen his movements. And so the man faces the attack head-on. The spikes penetrated his body spreading out and freezing his organs.
The ground shook while the enemy's unfrozen blood cascaded.
The mysterious enemy was killed though it wasn't enough to end the current battle.
"More are coming Apollo" Alicia warned raising her staff to chant more spells.
Beams of light emerge from the staff landing swiftly towards the lurking shadows. Following the trajectory of the spells, the boy found the enemies they must eliminate.
Apollo felt a sudden chill when he discovered the weapon they held. It was those weapons that were made out of Nirvana's flesh and blood.
[Those weapons should have one of Nirvana's skills, Devourer]
"Yeah I can tell"
Smoke created by Alicia's attack dissolves revealing the unscathed appearance of the enemy.
"What the"
She exclaimed though it immediately reverted to her nonchalant expression.
"We have very complicated enemies here," she said while switching her weapon to a sword.
"Spells would only be absorbed right?"
"Yeah"
Alicia and Apollo looked at the ten figures that slowly revealed themselves from the shadows. Each of them had a weapon which was made out of flesh. Blood would drop from it while a vile rotting scent filled their noses. It was already unpleasant looking at the pulsating muscles and veins of the flesh yet the scent was enough to send someone unconscious.
"I feel uncomfortable looking at them"
"Come on it's not like it's your first time seeing and fighting one"
Alicia remains calm though he can tell she doesn't like seeing the grotesque appearance of the enemy.
"Ten against two what an unfair fight"
"We don't have a choice our classmates are currently occupied"
Apollo said while glancing at his back, there fourteen figures were fighting vigorously. Apollo can tell that they do not like their current situation.
"We should be able to do this"
{I will assist master}
"Thank you, Winter"
"To think you will get Lenon"
"Why whom did you get?"
"Glenda a spell caster and spell breaker"
"Isn't that a good one?"
"Yeah but she is basically useless against our current enemy"
Apollo couldn't help but sigh she got a point now they need a close and range combatant.
"I'll just shoot some arrows"
"Yeah good one"
The weapon on Alicia's hand turns again and transforms into a crossbow.
"Though I really like her staff"
Those words made Apollo shake his head while his shield and axe were ready to engage in combat.
[You are outnumbered]
"We don't really have an option"
[It's okay I think it'll be alright]
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Apollo questioned however soon it was answered, a silver arrow landed on the ten wielders of flesh weapons before exploding.
Dirt was thrown while the ground shook.
"It seems you two need some help"
The same girl from a while ago appeared, holding a silver bow she walked confidently into the ruined city.
"Duchess"
With all the confusion gone Apollo and Alicia can recognize her. The successor of the sacred bow, descendants of Isaac Silvercrest, Duchess Esther Silvercrest.
"Now it all makes sense why Lenon is here"
Lenon was a warrior from the north who was trained to use his shield to block magical beasts. Glenda on the other hand is one of the soldiers of the Western Duke.
"It means that two ducal households are here"
Alicia concluded while looking at the ten enemies who could barely stand up.
"The arrows are very explosive and that flesh is incapable of absorbing it"
"I can see that"
Esther then moves beside the two landing like a calm butterfly on the ground.
"Shall we?"
She asked while fixing her position.
"I am ready" she added
Apollo nodded at her words before signalling Winter to assist him.
The wind howls like a beast while the temperature drops significantly. A warrior whose shield blister with ki immediately closes the distance between him and his ten enemies.
"Argh!!"
One of the least injured raised his sword and roared like a maniac. Apollo uses his shield to fend off the strike however it seems his enemy has lost his sanity and began recklessly beating his shield.
"CRACK!"
With all the blows his enemy released a cracking sound was heard making Apollo confused. His shield was reinforced with ki and he didn't feel any breakage so where is the sound coming from?
Between the frenzy barrage of attack, Apollo took a glimpse of his enemy and saw his arm being broken.
"What the hell"
He felt even more creep out when the flesh sword began spreading out and eating its wielder's body. A revolting scent kicks in making Apollo dizzy.
"This is crazy"
Despite the distraction caused by the scent the boy continues deflecting the sword strikes.
"WHOOSH!"
An arrow was released hitting the sword flesh wielder on the head, however, instead of dying the weapon in the man's hand began eating him away.
