Despite the direct hit the beast was still able to precieve the attack and defend against it. Apollo who recovered imdiately after the attack gave another command
"Gravity 500 tis."
The serpent dropped like a stone. Its movents slowed. Apollo charged forward zoning into multiple bodies before returning his attention to the serpent, stabbing upward with his spear. His chanting bracelets then glowed, and a spell activated accompany by a painful screech. It was a restraining spell that chains any enemies in a given area. All the charging beasts that tries to attack Apollo were binded. Including the serpent that tries to escaped.
The electricity suddenly gathers in great pressured surging like a tide ready to wash those who dare face it.
"Thunder Aura, Cyan ring"
The wave of mass electricity move in circular motion turning into a tide that affect the magnetic field of the area. The heat continous to expand while the spinning motion made so lightning to scatter in different directions.
A great area was turn into dust the power of the spell broke through the beast's core like a battering ram. It exploded in a shower of magic shards and dust. Killing even the other beasts that keep surging from the back.
[Creator I am done fixing the soldiers they are ready to be deployed]
"Good, more of the horde are breaching the first wall, take care of them"
[I will]
More prominent pressures are making its way to Apollo making his heart pound, but not from fear. From the excitent of the battle.
And then it ca.
A powerful pressure followed and shadow from afar swallowed the boy's body. A golem with a body made on fire and obsidian stone like a towering, with nearly 30 ters high. Its footsteps cracked reality. Its body radiated with a pulse that mimics an anti-magic. Spells wont work on its body because of it.
[The soldiers will handle the other beasts focus on those celestial]
"Got it."
The golem beast roar recognizing the existence of a strong enemy, so with all its might it dash forward making the ground tremble. Its enemy on the other hand took out his revolver again and shot the beast he previously shot before the battle even began.
"Just sleep again I don't have ti for you" he mutters while dodging the earth spikes that tried to impelled him. He then dashed between its legs, avoiding another hamr-like blow. The shockwave turned the other beasts into pieces. While Apollo dodge it easily he use his spear to knock more beasts that tries to annoy him.
While his weapon is busy, he constructed a gauntlet and it covered his lightning covered body. As he stood right behind the beast he charge his fist with cluster of electricity. With the power of his newly made weapon he slams it right at its fiery obsidian back.
Unexpectedly though his magical didn't work and was imdiately nullify by the beasts anti magic like power.
Calmly Apollo retracted his fist then dodge another punch from the golem.
As he creates distance from beast, "Strike" he suddenly commanded and the spear that is creating mayhem disappears.
The skies obeyed and the mithril weapon ca out harnessing the power of Apollo's spell.
"Lets see, I will use my spell to propell my spear"
The runes on the spears body glow absorbing the might of the thunderstorm.
Clouds spiraled inward, the world stilled.
Then the heavens scread.
The spear bearing the empower of Apollo's thunder aura cascade into a bright light. bearing the power similar to ten thousand bolts. The force and power was blinding but still with an energy driven with instinct, it was able to put on its guard in the last second. The ground shook bearing the might of the spear but then.
"Strike again"
That voice command and so the golem was struck again and again, crascks breaking through its fiery defense and armor. A low roar was heard followed by the crushing weight of impact on the ground, within few seconds it beca a crater field of molten glass and obsidian.
Apollo floated within the storm, removing the veil of space that separates him from others. He raised his mithril spear again like a conductor's baton.
"Thunder aura, Zeus"
A modified version of the one the spells he once used before.
Then the mithril spear absorb more of his magic and beca massive. The power of lightning beca his boost empowering his body and weapon. The when everything was ready.
He hurled it.
The golem raised its arm too late.
The spear pierced it—and from within, the Celestial beast detonated, shaking the entire battlefield.
Silence.
Ash drifted like snow.
Apollo landed on his knees, gasping.
"fuck did sothing just attack ? I didn't see it!"
[Creator, your skil just activated sending the damage a thousand tis to whoever attack you]
"Can you locate the thing that just struck "
[Here Creator this is where the skill went]
He coughed a bit, then smiled bitterly. "Alright its good that it survive I can make it pay for striking .
[It can't move due to pain Creator but I think you can't attack it at the mont. Because currently there are three more Celestials, ten Dukes inbound. You've have two minutes before that beast returns to attack.]
"Alright I will make sure I gets down in two minutes"
Apollo stabilize himself, breathless, but eyes blazing. Around him, the battlefield writhed with chaos, but he stood like a storm given form.
Then his shadow double and triple, his spell Clonis took action. Creating five Apollo that disguise themselves as chanical soldiers.
As five Apollos ca the battle with the attacking celestial and duke rank magical beast ended.
[Creator here it co!]
Five Apollos move receiving the notification and imdiately reacting upon it.
"Now lets see the beast that attacked "
Lightning spark and a bolt of light dash across the battlefield leaving bodies and burning the path it took. Finally its death march ended as it stop right in front of a certain beast. Its body was covered with wounds, it was trembling and withering from pain. But even so as soon as it felt the presence of soone strong it steeeld itself. Appearing fearso despite its injuries. Apollo on the other hand was imdiately healed due to the system's power. The pain was also remove just a second it was felt by Apollo.
His mana was also being replenish due to his skill and his stamina was greatly being fix by Jeremiah. Overall out of all the beings fighting in the blood season, Apollo has the best body to fight.
"Hey you sneaky bastard how dare you hit "
He said as he looked down at the Golden sabertooth Goliath, the beast that struck Apollo a she was handling other enemies.
"Seriosly I thought you are dead already, to think that you survive and even went through the rankings while marching into this war like battlefield I am beyond impressed"
Apollo then gathers the power of lightning aiming to end the sneaky attacker that made him kneel for the first ti in a while.
On the other hand at the other side of the battlefield another battle is about to comnced. But then a huge explosion yet again shook the entire forest of Afra.
Few monts before the this clash of energies.
.
.
By the power of authority of space Alicia appeared at the epicenter of the joint attack. As she step outside the power of the authority she saw the approaching aura from a beast that Alya warned them about. Feeling intimidated by its re presence Alicia released her corrupted mana it flared and bloom like flower creating a crater that made the beast halt its movent. Apollo's mysterious friend didn't stop there and lets her mana manifest into ghostly wings f obsidian. A halo of broken symbols hovered above her head as the tainted aura within her responded to her desire to kill
"It seems you are already motivated" Apollo teased as he arrived in his demonic form.
But Alicia didn't respond her eyes remained focus making Apollo sigh.
"I know that thing is strong" he comnted summoning Nebula to fight.
The two was prepared to fight not until a presence made them extrely cautious.
The mana felt heavy while the ground carry a silent pressure that slowly crawl at Apollo and Alicia.
They weren't scared but the felt they shouldn't do anything that will cause them to be in disadvantage.
Then suddenly sothing began moving
From the edge of the battlefield, it finally move forward once again
Apollo tried to look but his eyes and event the system could not bypass the thick energy that surrounds the beast
What forming across its body is a shimred of energy, it was thick and dense. The snow around it didn't fall—it fled, as though even the weather refused its presence. Apollo did not give up and imdiately recalibrated the system and with its update he slowly sees his opponent. The creature's body was humanoid, but too tall, too thin, with limbs that bent slightly wrong. It had no face—just a swirling void where a head should be.
Upon seeing its appearance for the first ti, he felt it.
"What is that thing?" he muttered.
