Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Leading to Destruction
The monastery needs to fight amongst themselves so Apollo needs to plant even more distrust among the temple.
"For that, we must make sure this attack fails"
[Notification Alert!
Another force has been detected east of the city!]
"They are approaching the academy" he realized when he tracked the enemy's movements who were heading straight to the school. He needs to hurry back and eliminate them.
The teleportation pad glows revealing a dark figure, it is a tall demon covered in black armor.
[I suppose you are going all out now]
"Yes I am"
Apollo wanted to use his thunder aura but decided not to.
"Alicia might not be the only one who can link the current me to my normal self"
[It still makes me wonder how did she know about you using your thunder aura. I made sure no evidence can be left behind]
"That is actually the reason why they ask for a seer"
[Aren't seers supposed to look into the future?]
"Seers can see both the past and future and because they couldn't find anything at the base we destroyed they decided to use them. That is why Alicia and others were about to see how the attack transpire"
[So next time I should leave at least a few clues in order to fool them?]
Apollo tried to smile feeling Jeremiah was learning more and more however remembered that he didn't have a mouth and this made him shake his head.
"Let's go and eliminate those rats"
....
When the emperor once saw the image of that mysterious creature he labelled him as an enigma, a being hard to explain and understand. He was like a riddle that seemed to surpass their level of reasoning.
The being that currently swept the battlefield was like a demon but not at the same time. Demons can't cast spells they only have skills and abilities, they can't use weapons since it surpass their level of intelligence. It is also impossible to become a devil since they don't have an aura like his, that aura of destruction and total madness never belong to a devil.
Then yet again as he observes his action inside the city, he couldn't comprehend his existence.
"Could he be one of the fallen children of Nirvana?" he wondered however the last of them died two hundred years ago and now became a spirit.
"I'll put this topic aside, first we need to evacuate everyone"
"Your majesty!"
While the emperor continues watching the situation through an orb, a soldier hurriedly runs to him.
"What is it?"
Despite his ragged breath the soldier still tried to speak.
"The kids we can't find them!"
Augustus didn't panic instead he looked at orb again.
"Don't look for them instead evacuate the students"
The soldier was a bit surprised but still obeyed his command.
"It seems Lady Alicia hid the kids," the nameless soldier said.
"Yes it does seem so"
"Sir the black knight suddenly disappeared"
"Your majesty" the nameless soldier spoke inquiring about the emperor's command.
"We should take care of the rest"
An army led by a magic swordsman named Kiel march through the forest in order to confront the horde of demonic beasts.
However, as soon as they arrived a wave of fear crept inside their hearts.
"GARRGH!"
An inhumane voice echoed when a demonic bear tried to fight a giant root-like monster but before the bear could even move a heavy hit smashed him to pieces. What was left of a ten-meter-tall beast was a mere puddle of blood. This sight made the soldiers frightened, they had no idea if the root-like monster was an ally or foe, thus all they could do was remain stationary in their position.
Another roar echoes and a black hole mercilessly pulls anything around itself. All sorts of things were being pulled away and it included the horde of demonic beast. The tide of black-tainted monsters that almost covered the entire forest could be seen decreasing at every passing second.
"Commander what should we do?" a fighter mage asked, looking at the scene as he became confused at the current situation.
"We should-...!?"
Before he could even answer the ground shook tremendously making their mounts frantic.
"Commander look!"
A knight pointed and all eyes focused on the direction he pointed.
"Wait isn't that!?"
As the earth trembles and splits open, a mass of tangled colossal roots and blackened vines emerges. The soldiers trembled when the owner of the giant roots finally made an appearance. A towering figure sprouted shadowing the light from the moon.
"Commander"
"Don't move..." Kiel commanded not daring to antagonize the botanical behemoth.
The vines and roots writhe and twist while man-sized thorns begin to spurt, pulsating with an eerie black glow.
A roar was then heard confused they all looked up to see a giant flower bud being protected by enormous layers of leaves. Then as the flower unfolds, grotesque petals, revealed a gaping maw lined up with rows of razor-sharp teeth.
They became certain that one bite and dozens of them would die.
More roots came from the ground before killing their target beast. In the end, the soldiers don't know if they should attack or not.
They wanted to do their duty but the monster plant made them hesitant.
"We should go and assist that plant..."
"BOOM!"
His words halted when the humongous flower shot a laser beam. The ground melted while the bodies turned into ashes. The scent of burning flesh hits their noses fortunately these soldiers have already used this scent.
"...or maybe not"
With a rampaging plant monster, Kiel couldn't help but mutter those words.
...
"Legan where our the five targets, don't tell me they managed to flee"
"No sir I scan every teleported student and I am certain none of them holds the bloodline of the five children of the heavens"
"Then where are they?"
"Sleeping"
"!?"
"Whos there!?"
However, instead of an answer the mysterious creature began to speak again.
"Let's see I have 1...2....3...4...5....and...6..little rats" A scratching-like voice counted.
Then from the darkness of the night a tall figure emerges, his body is covered with jet-black armor while a pair of wings is on his back.
"So you are the creature from the report"
"Oh I didn't know I became famous"
"Sir according to Elija and Sergio's tales this creature can not be underestimated" Find this and more on m-v lemp-yr
"Stop"
Time froze and the three priests and three paladins stopped, only Apollo could move as he stopped the time around the six.
A black-tainted spell gathers in his palm before being released it.
"Black magic, Moris Cor"
The frozen hearts of the four enemies are crushed as Apollo casts his spell. They remained standing but their heart was already in pieces.
"Thank you for your good evaluation"
"!?"
"!?"
They didn't blink even though they spoke to each other their eyes remained focused however how did he manage to appear right in front of them?
"By the way you two are the only ones left"
"What!?"
Legan looks at his comrades and just like what the demon told them they are already dead.
"How can this be," the priest said feeling his legs weak.
He wasn't accustomed to fighting since his forte was tracking and magic circle, but with the arrival of their enemy, he might die with his lack of skills and strength.
"Damn it what now?" he asked to himself while cautiously stepping back.
"Now I need more..!?"
Apollo's voice got cut off when he felt something was flying towards his head so in response he merely moved his head to dodge it. His swift motion made the mysterious projectile hit a nearby tree. And right in Apollo's eyes that tree turns to dust.
"Whoa I could have been in big trouble if that his me, Jeremiah track whatever that is"
[Affirmative Creator]
However, when he returned his focus to the two remaining hoodlums all he could see were their aghast faces.
"You just dodged a bullet!"
One of them said while trying to maintain his posture.
"Bullet? Ah that flying thing I didn't notice"
[Notification Alert!
More bullets are coming this way, Creator]
"I see let me take care of them"
Arrows filled his eyes as the bullet's trajectory was already calculated. All the boy did was move his body to dodge the fast-approaching projectiles.
This small window of distraction was all the two priests needed to flee.
"Jeremiah have you found the sniper I am getting annoyed now," he said while moving his body to dodge another round of bullets.
[Creator I have tracked ten snipers that have been shooting you]
"Ten? Then the number of bullets makes sense now"
He then makes a sharp turn before waving his spear.
From the tip of the spear's blade, an energy began to form.
"I'll blast them out"
The attack was released striking the far distance. From a single stream of energy, it split and became ten.
Ten huge explosions happen shaking the ground while a cluster of smoke touches the sky.
After handling some unnecessary stuff Apollo's body disappeared chasing after his two targets.
"I can't let you two be," he said while utilizing his two huge bladed wings.
