YM778.TV Chapter 74 Should I attack
I wondered if I should go to my first plan, using doomsday on the eleven temples once I found the thing I was looking for.
That way I can eliminate them all easily and without risking any lives. However, my friends are a bit worried about this plan. They believe that using eleven doomsday would cause disparity over the climate and the environment. The monastery might be eliminated but the destruction I brought might be permanent.
"What if I contain the blast inside a fortified barrier"
[You still insist on using a fission bomb despite your friends\' warning]
"I don\'t know any weapon that could easily break through their defensive barrier besides a fission bomb"
[Your friends are right about the effects it will have, we should think of a way to deal with them. Remember the effects of the three bombs are still being mended by the imperial family. Imagine what will happen if eleven of such bombs strike the empire]
"That is why I am thinking of using a barrier to contain the blast. That way the damage will remain in a single area"
[You are not backing down no?]
"It\'s the only way I could think of, you see they are immune to curses and poison, if I use magic it would work since their defensive barrier keeps them safe. And I can\'t attack them directly since thousands of mages and paladins filled each temple"
[But you already did a massacre before]
"Do you mean the fight happened on the day of the entrance exam?"
[Yes]
"I was only able to do that because I took them on while they least expected it. They never knew that more mages would come"
[So you are not confident that you can solo them all]
Solo?
That got me thinking.
"Why not"
[Hmm? Did I perhaps make you think something reckless]
"Nah, you just made me inspired"
[You being inspired means trouble]
"Jeremiah show me all the darkness spell on our arsenal"
[Affirmative]
"After this, I\'ll increase my skills, upgrade them then my stats, after that I\'ll train them up so that I can use them proficiently"
[What do plan to do?]
"I\'ll tell you once I am done, for now we should increase stat points"
[I still have some stocks of essence from the last fight I\'ll convert them so Creator can upgrade his attributes]
"Okay for now I\'ll do some research"
Moments came by until I felt a presence on my door.
"You guys can come in"
As soon as I said those words collective hush voice could be heard. It seems like they are pushing each other on who will open the door.
"That\'s it I am opening it!"
I chuckle knowing the owner of the voice.
"I am entering Apollo"
Mckenzie finally opens my door while the other boys remain standing at his back.
"Hey buddy what are doing?" he immediately asked as soon as he saw me.
"I was researching a spell that could help me minimize the damages once I attack the monastery"
"Ah....you see Apollo, me and the others want to ask for a request"
I frown since Mckenzie isn\'t the type of person to speak this way.
[His way of speaking is like water from falls, it rushes down without stopping]
For him to hold back like that means it is something important.
"Tell me don\'t worry I will hear you out"
Mckenzie sighs as if finding his situation troublesome.
"Apollo the thing is we wanted to come with you once you attack the monastery"
I looked into his eyes and knew he was determined, the only thing he was concerned about was my decision.
"What exactly do want to do once I let go with me" I asked probing what they truly wished to do.
"We want revenge!"
My expression didn\'t change.
No, I think it\'s more accurate to say I didn\'t have time to react, when I felt a killing intent and bloodlust oozing on my friend\'s body.
"Amazing" I could only think seeing how their expression and attitude could change suddenly.
"We want to kill them Apollo with our own hands" Niko said with determination.
"Let us join the plans you have in mind. We wanted to be included in it" This time it was Aaron who spoke.
"We had enough of running, this time we want to see them run for their lives. We have enough fearing them and now we want them to fear us!"
Keith\'s voice sounded hurt but bloodthirsty.
"Add us up Apollo, like you, we used to have someone we wanted to protect, however, the difference between us is that you still have them while we completely lose ours"
I felt something within me hurt as I heard those words from Samael.
The Church of Juanfonso was ravaged to dust when the monastery priest and paladin attacked the place. I am certain he saw how the people who raised him died painfully.
Sometimes time can\'t heal wounds, and no words can provide solace to those who have been hurt.
Forgiveness is not an option because they choose violence.
They started a fight with blood and they would end it with blood as well.
"Alright, I\'ll let you all in" I stood up and then stored all my research materials.
"Let\'s all meet inside the tea room"
They all nodded agreeing to me and as soon as we walked down the stairs I saw the girls waiting for us.
"So, did you agree?" Alicia asked when I stood beside her.
"I did"
"Really?" she sounded surprised but it can\'t be help since I used to be overprotective.
"I will share my idea but first let us head to the tea room"
It was saturday and we didn\'t have any classes so the entire weekend was ours to spend.
As we sat down I took the papers with rough calculations and formulas for the spell I had in mind.
"This spell is!?"
Alicia looks at the papers and immediately realizes what I was trying to make.
"Is this possible?" she asked me finding my idea hard to accomplish.
"If I am able to do what I want to accomplish it might be possible"
"And how long will it take for you to finish this research?"
"I don\'t know but it won\'t be for long"
"You are confident"
"Of course I am"
So I began to explain my plan some of them found it funny while the others found it dangerous.
"I think this army you are thinking of is a good thing" Matilda commented making me happy.
"By the way where did you get the idea of mechanized soldiers?" Vesta asked me.
"It is actually from the tower, the Blue Moon tower was experimenting with an artificial warrior that could solve the escalating causality during demon subjugation. I just modified it a little"
"Now it makes sense that the plan is almost complete"
"Yeah that\'s right Blair"
"But Apollo what is this other thing?"
Arabella asks taking out another pile of papers.
"That is the other thing I am researching on"
"It is a necromancy magic?"
"Actually I am planning to combine Necromancy and Black magic"
"You are developing a different type of spell based on an old one, it\'s like a rendition"
"Well you can put it like that Casper since it is just a little modification"
"But still look at this complicated stuff you put in"
Aaron began to say while comparing the rough blueprint for the mecha soldier and the one I made for the new spell.
"Apollo I presume you already completed the map since you are already planning this" Alicia asked making everyone look at me.
"Wait for real? How!?"
"It\'s only been a few days and you already found all the temples?"
"You are not planning on using doomsday right?"
I was rained with questions which made me baffled.
The thing is my spider spy was successful in gathering information so I sent more to locate the remaining missing temples. After a couple of days, I was able to finish the map.
"Wait hold on people, first yes, I am already found all the temple, second I am still considering using doomsday"
"WHAT!" they all exclaimed making me surprised.
"It\'s just a consideration"
"Completely erase that please, Apollo"
Agnes requested but I still thought it was the best option.
"Why not I was planning on using a fortified barrier to confine the damage! It will work I am sure!"
"If you use that what is the use of us coming with you!"
I could only sigh not knowing what to argue.
"Okay! I\'ll scram the idea of using fission bombs, we will go with the army assault attack"
I said feeling defeated.
"So when will try to attack?" Alya asked while holding a platter of cookies.
"My plan was next month right after the Ninth temple mobilized their assault force"
"Wait..." A sudden realization hit the lower-class students.
"THE NINTH TEMPLE IS GONNA ATTACK!"
They all shouted making my ears hurt.
"Why? Did I forget to mention that?"
"YOU DID!"
"Okay, sorry"
And so with me not having much option I decided to craft the spell I needed for our assault plan to work.
"The spell Clone doppelganger"
