Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The boy is no more

Name:I created my own system Author:


"I look like an undead knight...wasn't I supposed to be a demonized human?"

[But you are, Creator]

Apollo felt strange as he tried to move, his skin was no longer there, instead, an exoskeleton was covering his body serving as an armor of protection. Each gap of his armor-like body had a blue-hue color glow. On his back are two tattered wings, big and ancient-looking.

"What the" he tried moving them and to his surprise it did.

Seeing his reflection in the pond the boy couldn't help but touch his face and he felt the smooth yet sturdy surface of the exoskeleton that covers his face.

"I don't have a mouth but I can speak"

[You have a mouth Creator]

"I can't really call it a mouth since it's just a small opening similar to a visored barbuta helmet, but it doesn't flip like the real one"

[At least you can talk]

"I look weird...wait are these horns?"

Looking deeper into his reflection Apollo realized that aside from his helmet-like head there were two protruding horns in it. Those horns weren't too big nor too small but Apollo felt weird as he touched them.

"At least I don't have a tail right?"

[Yes don't have one]

"Just what kind of demon beast used to own this beast core"

He said while trying to test his reflexes.

Now he regretted not asking about the source of the beast cores.

"Oh, this feels nice...hmmm?"

Then the boy realized something.

"Why do I feel like my surroundings shrink?"

[It didn't Creator, you just grew taller]

"I see no wonder"

[We should head out now]

"Right"

The boy no longer looked like the one he used to be, as he stood like an undead knight ready to purge those who had wronged him.

He moves his two wings trying to fly using them.

[Will you be fine? It's your first time flying]

"It should be fine no? I think it's similar to how I fly with my thunder aura"

[I don't really recommend this]

"You should trace the signal from the communicator so we won't waste any time while I practice"

[Sure]

While Jeremiah began to check the previously gathered data Apollo began to practice.

"Let's see first let's gather enough lift force"

He began flapping his wings like a young bird practicing how to fly.

"Maybe I should go even faster"

Apollo continued his practice while Jeremiah felt relieved about the data he had gathered.

[It's good I was able to scan the signal while that professor was having his call]

Jeremiah thought while synthesizing a tracking spell. He needed one that could trace the source of the signal however the conversation was too short for him to have a clear data to trace.

[This is why the communicator was essential]

Then a slight tremor suddenly shook his thinking.

[Hmm?]

The vessel Jeremiah is currently in is inside Apollo's consciousness, anything that can affect Apollo's mind can affect Jeremiah too.

[Creator did you fall?]

"Yeah"

Apollo was a bit embarrassed as he said this.

[You fell on a pond]

"Yeah"

"Demon thunder aura"

"BOOM!"

The entire mansion turned into a rumble the moment Apollo took flight. The residual lightning went underground destroying everything it went, and the ground cracked and burned.

"Where are those guards when you needed them the most!"

Elijah exclaimed after blinking away.

"!?"

His question was soon answered when he saw the pile of bodies that lay flat on their headquarters.

"How come I didn't notice!"

The severity of the situation soon made the bishop panic he immediately cast a teleportation spell while activating hundreds of magical scrolls.

"I can't die here!"

He ran as he cast his spell but before he could even complete it a magic circle made his heart break.

"Anti-magic circle!"

Elijah no longer knew what to do he tried to run but he couldn't all he could see was a bright light from the moon.

Soon that light was swallowed by a cluster of dark clouds.

Lightning soon struck landing right in front of him.

Smokes and fire were created but it was the least of his concern.

A tall knight wearing jet black armor which strangely glows with a blue hue, at his back a pair of wings while his head has a pair of horns.

"Why is a devil roaming the lands of humans....it shouldn't be possible for you to continue living here!"

"Oh really?"

Apollo began to approach making Elijah take a step back.

"And here I thought you could give me a decent fight"

[He is a mage and you used an anti-magic circle, what do you expect]

"Right I forgot"

"The air here is poison for devils how can you survive"

While Elijah said those words Apollo can see him using his fingers to activate the magical scrolls he released.

"Jeremiah"

[Yes?"]

"Cancel the activation of those scrolls"

[Affirmative]

"Wait why?"

"Enchanted objects are not under the effects of an anti-magic circle, since it could only affect living beings"

Apollo's monster-like voice made Elijah even more scared.

"I am impressed you still try to fight"

Blue lightning began dancing around his body and with his command, it transformed into a lance.

Those lances went through the air before landing towards five spirits.

"Jeremiah your jamming run out of power"

[Apologies Creator but those spirits tore through space just to get here]

"I am impressed, the moment they felt their master being endangered they immediately came here"

Five spirits surround Apollo however he isn't afraid.

"Yes, I am safe!"

Elijah looked happy but he didn't remain idle, he took out a bottle from his pouch then without hesitation he drank it.

[He drank a potion that temporarily increased his ki

Potion duration: 5 minutes]

"I am still waiting for a powerful attack"

Apollo is not doing this for fun instead he is studying the fighting style of the Bishops from the monastery. He patiently waits for any technique he can scan and study that could somehow help him understand his enemy.

"Will I finally see something?"

Apollo asked himself while looking at Elijah who turned into a green man with huge muscles.
