"What?"
[Creator I am sorry i was only able to detect the attack the mont it hit you but the light of Aegis activited and protected you in ti]
"Ah.....it actually struck ?"
Apollo didn't fel any pain, no damages was dealt on him but he didn't expect to be so defenseless against an attack.
"Did you know what attack ?"
[Actually Creator look up and you will see it]
"Huh?"
Confused Apollo stare at the sky only to find a shadow.
"Ah, its a....forget it i dont wanna see it"
Afraid of another grosteque appearance he rely teleport away to dodge the incoming attack.
A loud impact the frozen ground and among the icy air he saw hte figure of his enemy.
"A humanoid"
In this blood season it was the first humanoid he saw, the reason is that most baron and above beasts couldn't because they shut down their thoughts so that they won't be influenced by Blair. It was a smart move but had its own consequences.
Apollo raised his hand. His chanical armor hissed, and five magical rings ford behind his back, the nano armor began boosting its defense and its internal circuits fully activating. The five magical rings were the once he gave to Gavin but this version was to support his armor. The source magic will be the system and the essence he currently gathering will be his fuel.
"Interesting"
The boy's body beca different and turn into its demonized form.
> [Warning: Energy fluctuation inside the beast. Mana pulse increasing exponentially. Creator its trying to increase its reproductive rate!]
"Even while being stab? I dont really know if thats impressive or stupid"
The creature suddenly reared its body, twitching violently, before vomiting a surge of mutated spawn directly into the horde below. They crawled and screeched, clawing their way toward the spears like a flood. Thier objective? Protect thier mother
Apollo's eyes narrowed.
"I can't allow this to continue, it looks disgusting"
Even when he is fighting the humanoid beast Apollo still keep tabs on the broodmother. And so he increases the spears.
[Creator, dodge!]
Apollo reacted fast he teleport away only to be chased imdiately.
"Its fast"
He extended his palm forward. Lightning surged, not to attack—but to see how will his opponent will respond. Aside form that he put a mark on it. Within seconds, a signal lit up on his ntal radar.
[Tracking complete. All tagged. But Creator… the mist that coveres this beast its not normal]
"I did noticed, but its doesnt really matter"
Thunder aura was activated and in a blink of an eye he was right in front of the humanoid beast.
"What?"
The boy suddenly felt surprise as he gaze the being in front of him, the body its has was well tone muscular but not to much, it was lean covered with scales similar to dragons, its head was adorned by two horns along a pair of wings. But more importantly the face that humanoid has was very familiar to Apollo. A hair that seems blonde but had white blended on it, and whats more a pair of blue eyes.
"What the hell are you?"
Didn't repond and instead move its body to attack, it was a forward straight punch. However despite it being direct without a hint of deception but the power in that punch can definitely do so damage to Apollo. So he did the most simplest way to be safe, he moved few step to the side and he safely dodge the punch. It was easy for a person who can read and calculate his opponent's body. And so a series of punches ca t by Apollo's relentless dodging.
Why he only dodge?
Because thats the only thing he could do for now, because his opponent is moving too much that all his attention beca focus on reading him and moving his body according to it.
However after having few exchanges of punches the humanoid beast change his attack pattern and imdiately Apollo notice it.
Like before it lunge forward but the boy knew it wasn't the sa punch it did before, so this ti he wont dodge. He knows that it wont be a punch but a kick instead. To respond to that he waited for it, as soon as the beast change his montum and tried to do a low sweeping kick, he jump to avoid it and in mid air gave his opponent a kick in the head. Seeing that the humanoid beast raise his forearm absorbing the blow but the power of lightning took charge and gace an even more power sending the guy flying.
And loud bang echoes and Apollo landed right in front of the beasts, charging in he attack only for it to be parried. He redirected them and Apollo respond by having him face five hundred swords. Another explosion happened and Apollo wasn't surprised that the humanoid beast was able to destroy them.
"So t can destroy even mithril steel"
Then he cast a spell and it was cancel with a punch.
"His attacks are similar to a swordmaster's anti magic sword techniques. It ans it has a powerful body capable of negating magic, but how can a beast posses such a martial or perhaps it it simply the power of its body.
Just then sothing blur right in front of him, that beasts after destroying all the spears went on and attack once again.
"My neck?"
Apollo leaned just enough for the blow to graze him then he grab its armnad throw him away. Then it was followed by Nebula the sword aim at the beast heart as it fall. Another powerful impact but this ti the beast could not break the sword and harshly try to penetrate the guard it made.
Strong and resilient enemy
Despite being caught off guard it was still able to block a strike like that.
"That confirms it. If that thing isn't stopped, we'll never outpace the horde, no matter how many soldiers we deploy. And the possibility of another monster like this one appearing....sigh...why is it so resilient magic doesn't work either"
Apollo was abit annoyed because even when he tried to cast a spell to kill the beast as it tried to block Nebula its scales completely cancels the magic.
With annoyance reigning in his mind he held Nebula and began pushing it into the beast's chest.
"Just die you ashole, so I can kill your mother next" he said as he pressed the blade harder.

anwhile
His clone back at the fortress was already rallying the defenses. chanical soldiers fired heavy bolts of weapons while Alicia's command of fire was still the sa, it spreads death across the battlefield. Even with their combined might, the tides were shifting again.
Apollo turned away from the spawning beast.
"Co to think of it I need to report this. Jeremiah, send a ssage to the tower. Transfer this data to the Blue Moon tower. Let Arthur and Sir Gavin see the source of this catastrophe ."
[Affirmative Creator but what will you do if they asked how you found it?]
"Ah, I'll just say it was Alicia who found them. I think they had an idea how strong she is"
Then he looked back at the beast in front of him.
"Jeremiah push my physical boost to the limit"
[Affirmative]
"Thank you"
Apollo then summon more weapon and created them similar to Nebula. These weapons punctured the limps of the beasts restraining its movents.
"You are struggling hard"
[Creator its going to sothing!]
"Okay" Apollo then look at the beast's mouth and realized what it wants to do.
"Damn"
A burning fla cam and struck rcilessly but Apollo wasnt fazed.
"Oh? Did you just make a surprise reaction, that's good"
The fire that the beast released was absorbed by tiny black hole Apollo made right in between of them.
"Stop struggling and let stab you"
He pressed harder making the beast make more struggle to be released but even so it was useless. With its limps impaled it could not muster any strength, given that those weapons have nano machines that can weapon those who were struck by it.
With its breath begging to be free Apollo push the blade forward breaking the arms that tried to block it and penetrating the heart that is being well protected. One last cry was heard from the beast before finally dying.
Apollo actually felt tired fighting it, so to imdiately finish his objective he went back to the broodmother.
"Its still alive?"
Even with thousands of spears striking it was still alive and releasing more beats.
"Damn this thing is...sigh will go back to Alicia and ask for her help, I'm sure she has a solution for this.
He turned to leave only for the beast to suddenly pause.
Then, it looked up.
No eyes, no mouth in its twisted skull but sohow, it had felt Apollo's presence.
It scread.
The sound was hollow, and the forest suddenly felt distorted at the edges of the clearing. The snow twisted, then froze midair. The beasts below froze too then turned, hundreds of them, shifting focus toward Apollo's position.
A wary smile escape from his lips as the spear suddenly multiply into ten thousand.
"Wow you guys really wanna die?"
