I created my own system

Chapter 171 Chapter 171 A silent chaos

Scintilla is the capital of Lumen, it was once a very festive place where people are welcome to speak their minds. However, now a perpetual silence envelops the land. There's a pervasive quiet, punctuated only by distant sounds, heightening the feeling that every sound is being monitored and every movement is being observed.

The alleys are draped in long, creeping shadows as if every corner harbours hidden observers, with surveillance magic mounted on streetlights and buildings, their eyes unblinking and ever-watchful.

The life of the city was drained however the people tried to live as normally as they could, that way a mask would fall on the kingdom, hiding the hidden shadows that lurked on its beautiful streets.

"What a heavy atmosphere" a boy said not feeling any sort of nervousness at the state of the place he is in. He walked confidently on the crowded road while the people frantically ran back and forth.

On the boy's right hand, a dagger can be seen, though that dagger wasn't a simple one. It was actually a throwing dagger, embedded on its blade are symbols made to keep its presence hidden. Smoothly the boy continues to walk until a sudden drop of rain falls on his hand. Experience more on empire

"It's finally starting"

A wild smirk grazes his face while his eyes have a cold glint in them.

"Jeremiah activated the system's gears" the boy spoke his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Now the hunt is starting" he added before disappearing in the middle of the road.

It was a very unusual day because the people felt it was longer than the previous days they had experienced, however when night passed by and the morning came, the previous heavy atmosphere was gone.

"Jeremiah status"

[Curently creator they are at least 500 people detected to be far more powerful than the average people here, and according to the data given by the emperor none of them are members of the kingdom's knights]

Lumen's soldiers should be waiting to either assist their fellow crusader comrades or fabricate any evidence related to them.

"Alright I suppose we have our targets"

As I said those words a sudden drop of water made me look up.

"It's finally starting" I smirked as I said those words. This falling rain is not simple, it's actually a conquering spell cast under the influence of the rain. I am certain none of those Crusaders would immediately notice it, though it will be exciting if they do.

"Now the hunt is starting"

I envision the targets in my head and as I open my eyes, a map is generated at the upper right side of my vision.

{Apollo}

"Yes, sir Arthur?"

{The mages of the tower and the association are on standby, some are stationed here while the others are at the site of the World tree}

"Should we start the requiem?"

{Hmmm.... let's see, it seems our enemies are currently looking for you}

"They had no idea I was already here"

{That is right, I suppose they had no idea where you and your classmates are}

"They will soon find us"

I said while my body began to disappear.

"Let's start the song that will make even the dead cry"

{Alright let us start the hunt}

The rain became a silent rhythm, a song that unknowingly dwells in everyone's ears. Under the sound of falling rain, a little girl can be seen holding a flute. She continues to play the instrument despite the fallen drops of water. However, as she played so well her music began to seep through the rhythm of the storm.

And as the tunes combine together a bone-chilling song begins to be heard, a deadly melody, a chant that soon drowns the listener's ears.

I can't help but smirk as I listen to the deadly hymn, though my tiny silhouette slowly morphs through the darkness.

"Cover your ears!"

I heard someone say while panic struck the hooded men under the dark veil of the alley. They have armors and full gears against mages.

I can also see some anti-magic scrolls with them.

"Jeremiah"

[Yes Creator]

"Destroy all the scrolls they have make sure none of them can work"

[As you command]

{Apollo status}

"Found ten here"

{We have twenty we will take care of them, be careful on your end Apollo}

"I will and it's not like I am alone" I replied while three figures appeared from my shadow.

"Should we start?"

I smirked hearing his question and with our enemy's current situation, we should strike while the iron is still hot.

"Do it"

With my signal golden grains of light floated through the air, and as the power of space took over, sudden fissures began to spread.

"Doman behind you!"

Warn by one of the enemies, however, the person he was giving a warning to had already been killed by the broken cracks in the space.

"Damn it!" he exclaims while keeping his position away from the cracks.

Nine figures remove their hooden cloaks revealing the weapons they have been hiding. Bows, guns, spears and swords are all well raised towards us.

"Incoming," said one of my friends, though I only smirked when their attacks remained useless under the influence of the space rift. They are stuck and can't move with the tangled web of death however it isn't over yet. Some people just couldn't stay still and be killed by us.

"Argh!"

One of our enemies who carries a sword uses an aura bomb to try and use force to tear the rifts away.

"Apollo I can't hold them for long"

"It's okay just do what we plan"

"Got it"

My friend said while remaining still despite containing the aura bomb.

"It's your turn"

"You can count on me"

As he said those words another wave of power struck our enemies.

"Inertia"

Their bodies halted though it was only for a second but that is all it takes for me to be teleported right behind them.

"kneel"

"!?"

With the authority of the God of Mystics, I was able to influence their mind to take a knee.

"What the!"

They felt confused however I wasn't done yet as soon as they kneeled my weapon took a turn to immediately decapitate them.

"No you won't!" one of my enemies stated while clenching his teeth to fight back the command.

Martial artists and weapon users have one thing in common, they have strong physiques and sound minds. That is what allowed them to keep training despite its harsh procedure. So the interference I made was meant to be temporary.

"Attraction!" A voice gave a command and it was immediately obeyed.

All the weapons that were supposed to attack me suddenly turned heavy and crashed on the ground. That too lasted only for a moment.

A moment I didn't miss

Using the power of the skill Master Weaponist my slash was way more solid and founded by my ki. Accompanied by the professor's technique the length of my attack can be measured at least 7 meters long and 12 inches wide. It was massive however with the vibrating ki as it added strength no defense was able to block it.

Nine heads fell on the ground, blood was sprayed and a deep mark was left on the smooth stone road. The alley was suddenly covered with death as ten lives were taken.

"Alright that went well fast"

Keith said while wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"I thought my attack wouldn't work" Aaron stated while his body fell on the ground due to exhaustion. That can't be helped since he covered the entire alley with his authority.

"We should head straight I can feel something there"

Alya stated while holding her staff. Upon her spell, the area which we fought turned to how it was before we arrived.

"What can you feel?" I asked her since even Jeremiah didn't seem to sense anything.

"I can sense something, a very dangerous and sinister power"

Her words made me a bit confused and alert.

"I think it's better if I go first"

"Alright just tell me if I need to teleport you away"

Aaron told me while giving me a nod.

"Stay alert" I said instead and immediately Alya gave me a reassuring smile.

The rain was still there while Vesta's hypnotic spell blended with the tower mages' large-scale debuffing spell.

"Well, I can call this a conquering spell as well," I thought as my figure turned into a fog and blended well with my surroundings.

"According to her, it should be here"

[I don't sense anything here]

"Neither I but knowing her, there should really be something here....wait what is that?"

On one of the drains of the city, a black orb can be seen stuck there.

Don't tell me this is the sinister thing she was talking about.

I suddenly felt funny not knowing what to say.

"A tiny orb come here," I said sarcastically as I picked it up on the drain.

"Ugh!"

As soon as my fingers grazed the smooth surface of the orb a sudden pain attacked my veins.

[Notification Alert!

A sinister entity has been detected!

The system's gears have been going full function!

All contaminants have been eliminated!]

"Damn I should have listened to Alya"
