I created my own system

Chapter 160 The power of the sword

Apollo's Pov

I never knew swords could do that, slicing a spell and rendering it useless.

Just what technique is he even using?

I never expected that a single wave of it could turn a mighty floating ship into pieces.

[I think you can do it as well as long as the Creator can explore the skill of Master Weaponist]

"My body seems to be incompatible with the skill"

[It must be because Creator's body is built to be a mage, although your physical stats are high it isn't enough to be compared to those people who held weapons since they were young. Their bodies are equipped and adapt to holding a weapon while you are more adept at controlling your mana]

"Probably"

I said, this short exchange lasted just a second in real time thus it hasn't been long since I arrived.

"It seems the security of the academy is here"

I said seeing more pirate ships begin to fall.

"Why do I feel like there are no real threats here"

[Because yours and the combined force of the academy security can easily suppress the powerful ones from the Barbaros pirates]

"So they aren't really a big deal"

[They are Creator it is just the academy has the strongest security second only to the Imperial family]

"Right I actually forgot that"

[Incoming!]

"I know"

I merely waved my hand and a bolt of lightning came to hit the spear, making its momentum slowed.

[It seems the power in the spear is so tremendous that your lightning couldn't shake it off completely]

"Yes it seems so"

I was about to use a spell when I felt the spear suddenly change. It began to speed up while its power began to rise.

It was fast however I was still faster. Being able to use the speed of lightning was an advantage my enemies didn't take into account. So the raging spear although insanely fast was still slow to me and I was able to dodge it cleanly. However, as the weapon blew past me I was able to feel the massive killing intent it has. That was really dangerous if that thing hit me I'd die immediately.

Intents are usually manifestations of the user's will, the more powerful it becomes the more deadly it is as a weapon. Killing intent is the intense desire to kill someone, the extreme manifestation of it can cause life to be drained. Bloodlust on the other hand is the desire of someone for destruction and bloodshed.

The extreme manifestation of it can cause the surroundings to feel deteriorated and destroyed. The more powerful it becomes the more destructive this intent is. This intent was something I often use for distraction since it doesn't consume much energy.

Sword intent is the manifestation of the swordsman's mastery of the sword, it could also be the same with the other weapon mastery.

Martial intent also known as Aura is the manifestation of the martialist's mastery over his art. This intent doesn't consume energy upon activation though it might exhaust someone's will and mentality.

Back to the battle the spear bath with killing intent suddenly curves through the air returning to strike me again.

"Jeremiah where is the wielder of that spear"

[I can't detect him, Creator, it seems a part of his spear art included stealth on it]

"I see then let's maximize the system's gears and focus them on locating the wielder of this spear"

[Affirmative!

Activating all available gears...

Target: Spear holder...

Analyzing the map...

Analyzing individual targets...

Counting starts....]

I smirked finding this exciting, an enemy I can't find, that is very thrilling yet dangerous at the same time. I weave a spell in my mind and the spear that I dodged a while ago suddenly disappeared. With my target suddenly vanishing I cancel the spell I was forming inside my head.

"I can't sense it"

It's as if the spear never existed in the very beginning.

I remained floating in the air while lightning continued pulsing through my body. Since I couldn't sense where and when it would attack me, I decided to weave another spell in my mind.

"Thunder Aura Heavenly armor!"

The mass of electricity began to solidify transforming into an armour that would protect me.

"Where it could be?"

I asked myself while my sense and system went haywire searching. My nerves were ready to attack or defend while my mind was open for any spell I needed to cast.

While I remained still for a few seconds something inside me suddenly attracted my attention. Looking deeper into it I realized it was the authority that came from the God of space and passage.

Then a rift in space appeared before me adding the mystery to what was happening to me.

"What's this?" confused but curious I reached out my hand and the rift expanded until a spear emerged from it. At that moment I felt time slow down, though I know it's just my mind processing everything at a fast rate. The spear with its body being humongous and powerful went towards me aiming right at my face.

[Notification Alert!

The target has been found!

He is right inside the rift in space and according to the system's analysis, his spear art had a space element on it. This guy has an innate affiliation with the darkness element and his main speciality is space and void]

"Well that explains it"

I said to him while the spear was already right in front of my face. The surrounding mana began to solidify while my lightning armor began to heat up trying to melt the incoming weapon. While this happens golden sparks of light emerge in my arm making the rift larger. The authority I copied from Aaron took over transporting my body right in front of my enemy.

"What the!" he exclaims as I emerge from the cracks of space.

"Thunder Aura.."

I began to chant and as I did so I saw him summon his spear and hurl it towards me.

[He is treating a spear like a javelin]

"Perhaps his weapon art is not spear but javelin"

Well let's save the talk later, lightning sparks and although this place should be his territory, the authority from the God of space and passage renders his ownership of this space to me.

"Lightning Lance!"

The streaks of light transform into a lance welcoming the projectile that my enemy threw.

[It's increasing!] Jeremiah alerted me as the spear my enemy threw suddenly increased and turned into a hundred giant flying spears.

"It's okay its numbers ain't really matter"

I said confident at the power of my spear though there is another thing I did to make it extra stronger.

The mithril staff which was made from the strongest known material mithril is not only great for casting spells by also for combat. So what I did was use the staff as the base of my spell and let it fly as I threw it in the air.

"I highly doubt he can break my attack"

[How about the hundreds of other spears aiming at you]

"Well I'll be impressed if they bypass my lightning lance"

[You are confident]

"Of course I am"

And just like I predicted my spell burst through my enemy's attack diving straight to him.

"Damn it!"

The space began to bend signifying his intention to flee however he failed.

"Why isn't working!" he began to panic summoning a great deal of his power. However, he continues to fail. With his escape compromise his only option is to defend. And so he gave everything to block my spell. However, the moment my lance got closer it melted the defence he put so much effort into. He burns right there leaving nothing of his body.

"It's good he doesn't know how to use aura or else that spell won't be enough to fry him"

[The space is collapsing you can't stay here any longer]

"You are right thank you"

It seems I need to upgrade the authorities too, having them with me will definitely be a helpful trump card.

[It's a good idea however upgrading them consumes a lot of stats points. Last time you spent three thousand just to raise one rank]

"Don't say that remembering that makes me cry"

My stat points although it was was easy to acquire them it was also easy to lose them.

"I just blinked for a second and now I am down to the last 1000"

[One thousand is still plenty Creator]

"Yes but with the skills and attributes I need to upgrade it won't be enough"

[Then I suggest we kill more to gain stat points]

"Perhaps so, how many have I got so far?"

[500,000 essences if we convert them it will be 250,000 stats points]

"Sounds nice and how many enemies do we have left?"

[Currently, there are at least 500 remaining enemies]

A smirk unknowingly formed on my face as I appeared on the battlefield. The sky was still covered with thunder clouds due to my spell while everything was still the same when I left off.

"I should kill every enemy before this ends"

I said to myself while a spell began forming inside my head. However, before I could even finish it I heard my communication bracelet ring. Curious I opened it only to see a message from my professor.
