I created my own system Chapter 79 It is you

[For a celestial this battle is too underwhelming]

"Really?"

Apollo looked at his surroundings and saw that the enormous forest that served as their arena no longer existed. The ground was scorched and broken resulting for all the trees to turn to dust.

While the sky has a huge hole as if soone stabs on it.

"This is underwhelming?"

They only exchanged a few spells but this was already the result.

"I am lucky he is stupid if he isn't I might be dead right now"

[Not really you haven't used any of your trump cards]

"Ah, those? I am planning to use it against a bigger threat"

[I haven't detected his presence yet]

"Of course, you won't he was sealed, after all, now I only wonder when will Mckenzie end his opponent"

[We should let him since they caused such trauma to Blair and Mckenzie]

Apollo just nodded while he looked at Mckenzie who is currently covered with blood.

...

Gelo's Pov

"Hurry! ..."

My voice was hoarse due to my throat hurting, if I knew I would end up like this I wouldn't have cried while we fled.

However, as we strode through the forest the earth began to shake ruining our balance.

"Damn it, they are doing this again!"

"Brother what should we do?" the boy with asked.

I was confused and scared at the current situation but imdiately gained the strength to stand up. My master gave his orders and I must follow them completely.

But it turns out my thoughts are too optimistic.

A flock of birds scatter in the sky beckoning the disaster that is about to co.

A series of heavy footsteps ca after urging us to run.

"Can you walk?"

I asked looking at the boy's uncle whose wounds had reopened.

"No little boy....it seems like this will be my final stop"

I felt like soone punched in my chest, it was heavy and painful. Then my aching throat felt even more painful, as if sothing was stuck on it.

"Damn it! They are doing this again! .....they also did the sa thing in our village!"

"Brother calm down!"

Ti wasn't on our side we could feel the horde of monsters due to the heavy vibrations on the ground. We must run as soon as possible but how?

"I can no longer move, go on without "

"Uncle!"

"Enough Blair uncle is right!"

"But brother we can't leave uncle alone"

"Yes, we won't that is why I am staying behind as well"

"What!" we both exclaid.

"We need soone who will hold back those demon beasts so that the two of you can have enough ti to flee"

"But brother..."

"We don't have enough ti, here boy take this ring"

I took it with my shaking hand then he proceeded to explain.

"That ring contains supplies like clothing, food and dicine, take it and run away with my brother"

His voice was calm contrast to the situation we are currently in.

"It's ti, take my brother and go"

His hands were resolute while his hands were firm making my nervous heart warm.

"Go"

I nodded and brought my hand to Blair's hand forcing the crying boy to run with .

"No! I won't go!"

He begged while clinging to his uncle's clothes.

"I already lose everyone! Please!"

He cried even more insisting to stay behind.

"Just kill and everything will end. The seal will no longer be broken since the holder of the blessings is gone, no one will ever die!"

"Enough! Listen boy you must live you hear !"

Even though his voice was harsh I could feel his concern over him.

"Live, please live....my nephew, live and achieve all the dreams you told about....do all that even....even if we aren't there to see you...please"

His plea reached even , I don't know them but sohow I felt the extre pain of losing soone important to .

"Master," I thought, however, my thoughts were cut off by the intense shake of the ground.

"We don't have much ti"

Blair's brother kneeled before us his eyes were calm as if he had accepted his fate.

"Let hug you before you go"

They both hug us, and despite the nearing danger they keep their embrace warm.

"It might be late but my na is Blaze Longfalls," he said as he finally let go.

"And this uncle is nad Brent Longfalls"

They gave us one final smile before saying "Run and live"

I couldn't even say my na we just turned our back and made a quick escape. I looked back one last ti and saw two figures standing firmly with swords in their hands.

Then I shouted with all my heart "My na is Gelo Mckenzie please live too!"

I keep my heart strong and proceed to run even faster.

"Jeez what a noisy brat"

"At this rate, our enemy might hear that cry"

They both chuckle not knowing whatever things they should say.

"I missed my wife" Brent couldn't but say when the horde of beasts finally entered their view.

"Maybe we can et them after this"

"I hope we could"

Their grip on the blade hardens while summoning the last bit of their strength.

"Let us die together, uncle"

"Yes sa brat"

The ground continues to be dominated by the sounds of moving until a different kind of sound reigns inside the forest.

"Don't let go of and we are almost there!"

I said until an old tree appeared in my view.

"Yes let's go!"

We entered inside through a big hole hidden by so tangled roots.

"Go inside"

I told him which he imdiately obeyed,

inside the tree is a small pond which will take us outside of the kingdom.

"What do we do?"

"We will jump, let's go!"

Without much thought, we both jump into the water before being transported towards a different place.

"....."

"Are they....sir!"

e quick!"

I could hear voices but my head was so painful they barely registered to . Darkness took over and I soon fell into the arms of dreams.

...

The sound of creaking woke my sleep and a massive headache welcod imdiately. With a few shakes and a massage, I could finally think straight.

"Boy, are you okay?"

A familiar voice ca to which imdiately brought my awareness to the surface.

"Sir?"

"Yes, it's !"

I felt an embrace, it seed he was hugging .

"Are really fine now, you look pale?"

"I am...wait..!?"

I suddenly rember the boy with .

"It's fine he is still resting"

"Are we inside a carriage?"

"Yes we are heading towards the kingdom of Temar"

"Sir, what happened to Master?"

He suddenly beca quiet as if thinking whether to answer or not.

"Sir the more you delay your answer the more I worry"

"I am sorry Gelo, about my cousin he...."

I felt sick while waiting for his answer, my hands and feet were all shaking.

"He is gone, Gelo"

And the answer I fear ca to . I suddenly felt guilty because I survived yet he couldn't. I was the one who found those people if I...

"Gelo"

His voice was deep and commanding, and my attention directly went to him.

"Yes?"

"My cousin contacted as soon as the city was attacked, so he told to wait at that place. That's when I found you there with your young friend"

"Sir he is.."

"I know my cousin told everything"

The man in front of is Justus Clayborn a knight of the empire.

"Wait how did you get here"

"I used the teleportation pad here in Temar, and we will do the sa thing for you two. I will send you guys to the imperial palace"

"!?"

I was shocked and at the sa ti relieved because the empire hadn't abandoned us. At first, I hated them because I thought they were the ones that caused the attack.

"They have many spies" that thought made hesitant to trust including my master's cousin.

But I also realized how stupid that idea is.

"Is there sothing wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong sir its just..."

My thoughts went haywire when a horde of demon-beasts ca behind us.

"What! How did they get here!"

I questioned then the words Blair told when we first t surfaces.

{"They have many eyes and ears, they spread it everywhere!"}

"Oh dear" Fear suddenly crept into my heart shaking my entire body.

Sir Justus took out his sword and put right beside him.

"We must find Blair!"

"Yes we will boy"

Then he stord out of the carriage making my face gape.

The carriage was hit by a spell sending it to pieces.

"What the!?"

We landed perfectly on the ground while a group of imperial soldiers stood right in front of us ready to attack.

"Loris"

"Yes, captain!"

I was surprised when a man appeared behind us.

"Wait is that!"

My eyes went wild when I saw Blair being held by Sir Loris like a sack of rice.

"Is that the right way to hold a child?"

"Don't know I just lifted him"

Then the traitors spoke.

"I am sorry captain but please hand that kid to us"

"Tsk that won't happen!"

My eyes look straight at the traitors instilling their faces in my mind.

....

"It is you.....finally we found you"

I looked at the man in front of and knew he was the sa man that led that ambush.
