"How many soldiers does this army have?"
[300 Creator, 200 tactical assault soldiers consisting of brawlers, magical swordsmen and heavy knights, and 100 mages]
Apollo sighed in relief, for a moment he thought he was up against an army of thousands of personnel.
"And their ranks?"
[It's a bit complicated Creator but the one with the highest rank is at Duke rank while the lowest is at General level]
"This is a bit problematic"
Thunder began to roar among the clouds, while Apollo cancelled his thunder aura spell.
Thunder aura consumes too much mana, prolonged use of it will deplete his mana storage. So Apollo will switch spells and use his skills in weapons.

A smirk appeared on his face while glancing at his stats.
"Wait how can I smirk when I don't have a mouth" he suddenly realized but he quickly switched subjects.
[Somehow I feel you are about to do something reckless]
"Yes I am, Jeremiah activate the skill Retriever and get Automatic Weaponry for me"
[What are you going to do?]
Apollo looked at his body and said "I'm gonna do some upgrades"
...
"My lord this is too reckless we might alert the city at this rate"
Hawk one of Stannis strongest knights said.
"Lord Stannis Hawk is right we need to retreat"
"Enough Eagle I received an order from Bishop Sergio that they needed reinforcements and we shall do what he says"
"Hurry cast buffing and debuffing spells!"
It was as if the earth and the sky were at war with each other. Lightning continued to crash creating piles of bodies while the soldiers tried to disperse the cloud. Mages tried to contain the miasma while the combat soldiers waved their weapons to attack.
With all this chaos the culprit of this event merely spread his wings however as he did so, his entire body began to change. His wings then turn into sharp blades while Apollo' armor-like body becomes sharper and more fierce. With his new transformation, his dark silhouette soon disappeared.
[What did you do? Your appearance change?]
"I put some stuff at my armor-like skin and turn it into a real armor"
He said while diving right into the enemy.
"His coming!"
"Point all forces to stop him"
"Mages put some protection on us this monster is releasing another deadly miasma!"
"Heavy knights help us the lightning keeps striking us!"
With all the attacks coming from a single entity the army consists of 300 personnel find themselves overly occupied.
The mysterious enemy was like a god of death killing those around him without mercy.
"Argh!"
"Help me!"
"His wings are bla-..."
Blood dyed the ground because Apollo's bladed wings turned the soldiers into pigs for slaughter.
"Why can't you hit him!"
"I just couldn't!"
"He is turning into a shadow!"
Apollo would use his wings for offense while turning into a shadow for defence.
"Use a different spell!"
"You think I haven't done that!"
The answer is the liquid armor Apollo put on himself.
[You did great with this armor, it's actually absorbing all the spells impressive]
"I'll tell you about this armor later"
He flaps his wings again causing another life to perish.
[Creator look to the right]
Apollo turned into a shadow travelling through the air and there he saw twenty mages all gather for a joint spell.
[Magic swordsmen and heavy knights are on the way]
"I can tell what they want to do but I won't let them"
A magic circle was crafted before turning into a ray of black beam.
"Lord Stannis retreat!" Eagle tried to warn but it was too late.
A bright light of darkness envelopes their sight turning the area into a sea of inferno.
[Creator a couple of humans are still alive what should we do?]
"It's okay we don't really need to deal with them"
Jeremiah was a bit confused but soon his sensors detected something.
[The soldiers from Sidus]
"Correct and that's our signal to go"
Dark shadows then devoured his body turning him into a being of the night.
.....
"Where are you Apollo"
Alicia wondered while sitting right on top of their dormitory's roof.
At first, she was going to patiently wait for him to return but with every passing second, she began to worry about him. In the end, she decided to sit on the roof for a better view of the academy.
"I never anticipated that you like high places, Alicia"
"!?"
Apollo never expected to see her, especially on top of their roof however he was happy that someone was actually worried about him.
Under the now clear sky Apollo saw the beauty of the girl in front of him. Unconsciously a smile forms on his lips.
