I created my own system-Chapter 340: Problematic scenario

"What’s going on?"

I felt confused, but when I focused my gaze, I saw that Nero was actually synchronizing his new body to his soul; he was trying to fully adapt to it.

Well, I should first extend my greetings. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

As soon as my feet landed on the ground, my first action led me to punch him in the gut. It might look random but that is one of the places where his muscles and bones are not fully developed yet.

"Hmmm?"

[Creator what is it? It seems you are concerned because of something]

I pulled my hand back and returned to Alicia’s side, and that is when I answered Jeremiah’s inquiry.

"It’s the flesh, it feels familiar. Scan it and see if we ever encountered it before"

[Affirmative]

I stopped my previous thought of bombarding him with attacks and instead began observing his current situation.

[Creator I just finished my analysis. The flesh and bones that make up Nero’s current body are the flesh of Nirvana, and to add to the condensed fragment of the world tree is currently acting as his heart]

"That doesn’t look good"

The energy surrounding Nero suddenly shifted, and I could see he was trying to stabilize himself.

"Finally found you... Nero."

I said just so I could give him a greeting.

[Creator what do you plan to do?]

"Let’s show him an even greater demon"

My body was swallowed by the power of the system, and a dark fury of energy touched my body.

I can feel Nero’s gaze, his looking at me with great intensity, as my body shows him its demonic, bladed form.

Even with this appearance, I tried to smile, though I am not certain he sees my mouth with this helmet-like head of mine.

"Alicia I will attack Nero, deal with the fragments"

"Sure," she answered, then she dashed towards the table filled with objects that house the soul pieces.

[Nero is going to prevent Alicia from reaching the fragments]

"I can see that don’t worry"

My thoughts suddenly moved, and with its command, a weapon followed.

The sword that held the power of the stars blocked Nero’s advance towards Alicia, though I doubt it will work on her.

The cluster of dark matter was swiftly dispersed by my sword, and it didn’t stop there.

The power of the heavenly bodies collided with the enemy’s evolving body, slamming him into the wall of this cave-like lair.

The ground suddenly trembles, followed by falling debris and the grotesque formation of flesh. Nirvana’s flesh is suddenly doing its thing absorbing all the damage.

I summoned the sword back to my hand and calmly looked at my opponent.

"Are you done tending to your injury?" I asked in sarcasm, but I immediately canceled the five spells I had prepared. It seems that my opponent has complete control of Nirvana’s flesh.

"This will be a headache," I thought, as my eyes scanned the gem that filled his body with energy.

[Creator be cautious that kind of energy can’t be deflected easily]

I nodded, knowing his right, but what I couldn’t understand was why I couldn’t see any openings. I don’t know which place to initiate my strike because I can see the counter he could make. To top it off there is something that is making me feel uncomfortable.

"That grimoire" I realized, something is off with it.

"What’s wrong? Why are you just standing there?" This time it was his turn to speak to me in sarcasm but I didn’t mind it. What concerns me the most is that his new body is leaning more towards a mage build.

"I am fighting Dominos," I thought, because this stature was the same as the one in Arevano’s memory.

He is clearly different than the person I fought before.

[Incoming Creator!]

It came out of nowhere the foreign energy came from below. I wasn’t able to sense it, but even so, I wasn’t really surprised. He merely squeezed the handle of his blade, and the power within it exploded, pushing the dark matter away.

Nero didn’t look surprised; instead, he looked at me and cast a spell.

"What the..." I was a bit speechless, the composition of the spell was unknown to me, and even Jeremiah found it complicated. Without knowing what kind of spell was coming, I decided to redirect it. Using the power of the blade, I tried to redirect the force elsewhere, but as soon as I did so, another spell hit me.

Another different magic that I have never seen before but it doesn’t matter. My sword created an arc mimicking the spell that dwells and disrupts the space. As the energy from the sword affects its surroundings the spell hits it completely engulfing each other. The wind was suddenly being sucked by the vortex made by the clash of attacks. The properties of the spell were still unknown to me, but I wouldn’t let it hinder me. I made another slash and it destroyed the vortex. As soon as it disappears, I instantly appear before him, swinging my sword to test more of his spells. My sword hit the massive pillar of dark energy, and I didn’t falter even when it began to push me back.

[The gem is fueling its power It seems Nero is turning the world Entergy into a fuel to summon more of the outside power]

I nodded acknowledging my enemy’s improved battle strength. I cast several spells in silence, enhancing my senses, and with them, I was able to see Nero’s energy flow. Even with his unknown power, I was still able to break through it. My sword hums in recognition of my desire, its power bursts through the darkness, glowing bright like a star in the night sky. I formed my stance, and despite Nero’s casting multiple spells, I didn’t interrupt him; someone would take care of that after all.

My sword looks like the shade of the night sky cut through the dark matter as it mimics the spell of fire. A heat that is powered by the heavenly bodies surges through, creating an arc with a fiery blue flame on it. Its extreme heat resembles the heat of the surface of the sun. It cleaved through the pillar of darkness, cutting it like paper.

The arc of flames ignited even more, and it dragged its fury to the owner of the dark pillar. My flames hit Nero’s protective barrier, I can see he is struggling because his spells were all being canceled by someone. I might know what the composition of the spell he is using, but surely Alicia has enough knowledge to break them before activation.

Now Nero’s mysterious incantation came to a halt, half of his abilities are now useless. My only concern is the endless barrage of dark energy that endlessly attacks me. My sword, still cloaked by heat, had created a trail of molted stone. Using that as a base, I performed a technique hoping it could penetrate the wall of dark pillars that separates me from my target. The molten stone floor moved following the wave of my sword, I focused and used the power of the stars to counter Nirvana’s damage-absorbing flesh and the foreign energy that was strengthened and turned into massive pillars. A galaxy-like energy combines with the molten stone, turning into colorful lava that slashes through the first layers of pillars.

The power is not enough, the damage was being overwhelmed by the wer that is coming from the gem.

"This is troublesome"

I move my blade creating spinning movement, the arc of heated lava followed the sword, and it created a rotation force that drilled through. I was about to add more to force the dark matter to disappear but then I heard her voice.

{Apollo beware this bastard is casting too many spells that I could barely cancel, be ready to catch the ones I failed to cancel}

I nodded, but out of curiosity, I asked her.

Exactly how many spells is Nero casting that you are having a hard time canceling?}

{That, probably around 100 per minute}

I almost choked when I heard that since even instant incantation can’t achieve that amount in a mere minute.

"What the, Jeremiah assist her, halt the activation of that spell and assist Alicia"

[Affirmative Creator]

{Don’t worry I’ll help you}

{But you don’t understand these spells, they are too ancient}

I just shook my head while dodging the thousands of tentacles that were coming towards me. Then I answered her.

{Don’t worry just trust me}

Then I switch to Jeremiah, "Use the information at the sage’s sphere to analyze Nero’s spell. Surely it will help since he used to be that age there"

[I will Creator]

Jeremiah immediately began his analysis, but the amount of information in the Sage’s sphere is probably too big even for Jeremiah. Its size is just too massive that even the library at the tower can’t be compared.

Back to the problem at hand, I began to feel the pressure of my enemy’s powerful and enigmatic spells.

"Now I wonder what I should do?"
