Chapter 232 Holding back
Apollo's will for destruction and bloodshed increases and turns into a fog of darkness. This fog began to cover the ruined part of the island.
[Notification Alert!
The skill Oppressor is in effect!
The entire island is under its influence!
Enemies are suffering from 50% debuff
Morale decreased by 70%!
Mind is hindered by 80%]
The notification was something Apollo wanted to see since that skill could definitely help his classmates.
Then from the notification panel, his attention shifted towards the two monsters that had already flown towards him. His wings then beat the air and with his skill's assistance, none of the attacks touched him not even getting close to him.
His current stats have been multiplied to 10 due to the skill demonize, so in total Apollo's stats reach 300,000 going above the demigod level.
However even with such high stats his two unique enemies weren't something he could just blast off. He has to be careful since his new powers are too foreign for him to fully control. So with patience, he began calculating and scanning their weaknesses hoping he could exploit them.
"Here it comes" he said as he saw the energy inside their bodies accumulate in a single place. This action means they are about to attack again.
The sky shook as three entities flew through the dark clouded sky.
Curiously as if the powers inside his body were adapting he could now identify the composition of the attack that would chase him.
"RUMBLES!" the clouds were charged with electricity and immediately they targeted the attacks that relentlessly chased after Apollo.
The wind was howling while the shockwaves of each impact shook the ground below. Apollo continues to fly not daring to come close to his two stubborn opponents.
"Just where are the professors" Apollo thought while flying, his intention with his sudden flight wasn't just to dodge, it was also to see what was happening inside the island they were on.
"No ships and now signs of other people.....just what's happening" he wondered until sudden fluctuations of energy attracted his attention.
"That wasn't Alicias or even the students from the other classes, Jeremiah scan that area"
[Affirmative!]
"Give me the report once you finalize it, it might be the professors" he added as he changed the direction of his body. It seems his objective has been achieved and now his attention is back on the two monsters.

The howling continues as he gathers the air to supplement his speed and with the rapid increase of power, he recklessly slams his body onto the hard armory scales of one of the monsters. The sheer amount of force was enough to send the beast straight to the ground while the other followed to assist its comrade.
The intense flashes of lightning filled the air, and the strong winds and the dark clouds became even more apparent.
"GRRRR!"
A growl was heard making Apollo surprised.
"Finally a reaction, you've been silent for so long I thought all you could do was roar and attack"
He said as he flew down a few meters away from his two opponents. One of his enemies tried to remove the spear he planted on the chest of the other monster. The boy didn't just slam his body hard on one of his enemy's bodies. The moment they landed on the ground he stabbed it with a spear and then immediately teleported away to safety.
The two beasts roar causing a disturbance inside Apollo's mind however unlike before this time he could dismiss it immediately.
"It's not gonna work anymore" he smiled as he said that then he beckoned the spear to obey his command, and immediately it glowed in response to his call.
"ARGHHHHHHH!" it was an unnatural roar as if a mixture of different roars from different magical beasts. Apollo's spear on the other hand began humming as it continued to absorb the energy of the monster where it was planted.
The young mage doesn't intend to stop however a blinding power slams towards him.
"Jeremiah, have you secured the area where the other is?"
[I did Creator the authority of space was there as long as there aren't any devourers that can eat the authority then they are safe]
"Add a barrier there now!"
[I will!]
Despite the situation, Apollo was more concerned about others instead of him. Even when the full brunt of the attack was attacking his body he didn't mind it.
Then a voice that came out of nowhere spoke.
"Prepare to meet your fate you puny mage!"
Apollo was confused until the dirt and fallen trees seized to obscure his eyesight.
His spear was pulled by the claws of one of the monsters but now Apollo could finally describe them without feeling weird.
The boy now could see two titans, their body structure was more in balance, and similar to dragons. The elongated limbs that seem misplaced are removed by muscular arms and legs. They were all protected with scales like before though the shaggy fur was still there covering the neck and head.
"GRRR!"
They both growl while Apollo recalls the spear in his hand.
This action caused the monster who was previously stabbed to hold on to the weapon however try as it might, it wasn't able to stop it from flying back to Apollo's hand.
The beast felt annoyed making its scales glow even brighter. This action made it easier for Apollo to distinguish the two. For their scales became different colors from each other.
The first one was an obsidian creature, like a lizard it had scales that seemed to be made of the same shiny black stones. Its eyes were red, its breath was cloudy as if flames could explode at any moment. The second one was no different except for the colour, the scales were emerald, shining with a metallic glint. Though the body seems lighter than the black one.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Human mage" bellowed the obsidian creature then what Apollo felt as it spoke was like a low rumbling in the very ground he stood in.
His eyes squinted and prepared to attack seeing how they change the pattern of their energy flow.
There was a blast of sound and the obsidian creature was raging forward, an immense, terrifying wave of energy came and Apollo was prepared to fight back.
Its mouth erupted with flames while the other beast had the wind to assist the flames that fanned towards their target. Apollo just snapped his finger and the clouds above struck the flaming breath cancelling it in the process.
"The air surrounding us is under my command you can't control it" he said seeing how the emerald beast tried to gain control of the surrounding wind.
His words however were answered with a scoff, and then the aura of the two monsters changed again. Apollo on the other hand was busy fortifying the place so that no more shockwaves could destroy the island. Their clash had caused half of the island's forestry. They had also made small islands due to their spells changing the topography of the area.
Apollo now wanted to protect the remaining places outside and inside the island.
[An attack has been detected please focus on Creator]
Jeremiah advised seeing Apollo not paying attention towards his two titan-like opponents.
The boy knew what he was trying to say so he didn't try to argue, instead, he waved his weapon which was already changed into a sword. The blade of the sword of light created an arc that intercepted a wall of fire that emerged from the ground.
It was so hot, the air became almost charred but Apollo merely changed his stands and took another path for his blade.
A line was followed, and the power of the sword then pierced through the barrier of flames. The fire dissipated and the black creature immediately appeared behind the barrier as soon as it disappeared. It growled and spread its enormous wings, these wings then produced a layer of magical attacks that belonged to all five elements.
The boy who took the form of a hybrid demon holds onto the weapon in his hand though he knows there is another opponent who is hiding from his sight.
The green beast took to the sky again, with its great speed it evaded the electrical attacks of the thunderclouds and was also able to destroy some of them. However, as it glides a cluster of air slams itself onto the beast causing its flight to be disoriented. This opportunity was then taken when a spear suddenly appeared to attack the monster.
"Enough!" it bellowed and fire cascaded down on its mouth trying to burn the spear away. The entire sky was covered with flames. It was enough to even burn the remaining trees on the fragile ground of the island. Now the clouds could no longer be seen since a red bursting fire had eaten it.
Back to Apollo who was in combat with the obsidian beast his sword would dance and cut through the beast's every attack.
"ARGH!"
The beast groaned and felt frustrated upon seeing how every attack was nothing in front of the human in front of him. Then it sent out another attack and like before a light penetrated it before dissipating.
It gathered its power again however it realised that the human hybrid was nowhere to be found.
"Down here"
A voice said causing the beast to look down and see a person whose hands held a sword.
