I created my own system

Right at the place where students fear being chased by hundreds of ghosts, sixteen students made a makeshift barracks there. And so the ruined temple was once again lively.

"Okay, so you two should take on a disguise in case you guys got busted" Aaron suggested while holding a checklist of the stuff Alicia and Apollo needed to bring.

"No worries I think we got that covered" Alicia assured her worried friend.

"Should commence now?"

"Wait hold on I am nervous" Arabella held on to Aaron's sleeve stopping him from moving.

"Why are you the one who is nervous You're not the one who is leaving you know"

"Shut up what if you make a mistake"

"I won't so let go of me"

Arabella and Aaron began to argue while they began pulling each other.

"Come on Ara that's enough" Samael said as he pulled Arabella from Aaron.

"Have faith, you know about Aaron's blessings so it should be fine, and besides he is also the reason why we always escape our pursuers" Samael calmly coaxed her since her anxiety had been going haywire since the start of the preparation.

"Alright everyone is set right?" Blair asked while Mckenzie nervously sat beside him.

"We are ready" Apollo calmly said making his friends feel more assured.

"Let us start with your disguise, we want to see what you two will look like," Casper said while Blair stood beside him holding a checklist.

Apollo looks closely at himself though his eyes actually look at a certain floating screen in front of him.

[Proceed to use the skill Demonize?]

The skill Demonize was something Apollo and Jeremiah made by overhauling the skill Demonification and combining them into some of Apollo's current skills. Jeremiah's latest upgrade enables him to copy a skill and manipulate it in the way they wanted. So they first made a copy of Demonification and started changing it into another skill called Demonize.

Apollo thought of this method to cause confusion among the people of the monastery. They already identify his demon knight form as an enemy so he decides to create another identity that could steer fear among his enemies. It could also cause another effect however he wants to show his enemies that they have another terrifying enemy.

"Alright activate it"

[Command received...

Initiating skill activation...]

A black aura covers Apollo before turning into black armor however its design is a bit different. The tainted aura turns into a padded defensive jacket, on top of it is a chest plate that rests on his torso providing protection for his vital organs. Then sturdy shoulder guards rest on his shoulders ensuring protection during battle.

The black aura intensifies transforming into a black iron overcoat that adds protection on his arms, then gauntlets for his hands, greaves and combat boots for his legs and feet. Then two horns emerge from each side of his head before being protected by a helmet.

Unlike his exoskeleton body which looks like full armor this time his skin is being protected by lightweight armor. Also, there were more clothes than armor in this transformation.

Apollo got this design to balance his demonic presence with his human side. In short, his newly demonized form is a half-demon and a half-human form.

Though, unlike his previous form, this one doesn't have a distinctive inhumane voice.

"So how was it?" he asked truthfully wanting to hear their opinions.

"I win" Niko immediately as soon as he saw Apollo making the latter confused.

"I also won! I put my bet on it as well" Jillian exclaims causing more confusion for the boy.

"Niko this isn't sufficient evidence!" Braiden wanted to argue while Keith brought a notebook containing their names and the amount of money they bet on.

"It's already plenty for me" Niko argued back to Braiden.

"Wait everyone I am a bit lost here" Apollo said feeling baffled whereas Alicia couldn't help but giggle.

"Hey enough laughing and fill me, because I have no idea what's happening" he nudged her making the lady beside him shake her head.

"Let me explain what's going on" Vesta started since Apollo's expression looked like a lost child.

"We actually have a bet if you are the black knight who destroys the monastery base here in Sidus. Some bet it wasn't you while some believed the opposite"

"In the end, it was my win!" Niko happily declared while Braiden didn't want to lose easily.

"If I am not mistaken this form is a variation of the transformation spell you used in Sidus right?" Agnes asked not finding her classmate's appearance suspicious.

"Well yes, you could say that" Apollo didn't try to hide it and could only admit it was him.

"So how did you know it was me?" he asked curious how he got busted.

"It's because of the spell thunder aura Apollo, we have seen that spell so many times in the tower that we immediately recognize it as soon as the seer shows us the past"

"Oh it was that"

"By the way you don't look too surprised when they caught you" Alicia noticed so Apollo answered.

"You were able to figure it out it was me so I had thought the same with the others"

Alicia couldn't help but shake her head then a light began to devour her body. Her previous black hair turned white her eyes turned blue. The girl beside Apollo turns into a complete woman that could make any man wild. From the curves to face it was a woman any man would want. To complete her get up a black mask covered her face hindering the vision of those who look at her.

"She became.. "

[Extremely hot Creator]

"Yeah wait are those horns?"

Similar to Apollo two protruding horns rest at each side of her head making her look like a beautiful succubus.

[Her presence is similar to a devil Creator]

"Really?"

[Yes]

"You okay Apollo I saw your mouth drooling a while ago" Blair joked making Apollo glare at him.

"Alright everyone is ready now I should set the two of you go" Aaron stretched out his arm and golden patterns began to glow across it.

The space seemed to be vibrating as he used his blessings.

"Go" he said then Apollo and Alicia disappeared.

As soon as they did so all remaining students of the lower class rushed towards Mckenzie. The reason was because Apollo created magical equipment that could monitor their position inside the tenth temple.

The map inside the orb was actually being manipulated by Jeremiah. Through him, they could all see whatever happens to Apollo and Alicia.

....

"So tell me where should we head now?"

Alicia asked when they got teleported towards an unknown forest.

"Aaron! You punk they landed in the wrong area!" Casper shouted in panic when they all realized the situation.

"Sorry....it might be because I still haven't perfected my use of blessings"

Aaron felt down since he had thought their training at the tower and the one they did in the academy, made his skills stronger however it seems like he still needs some time to completely master it.

{It is okay Aaron no need to feel down since we landed pretty near the temple so we could just travel}

Apollo's voice came out of the orb trying to cheer Aaron.

"Thanks, Apollo just be careful"

"We will"

The distance wasn't really a problem with them since Apollo and Alicia both turned into shadows and ran across the forest.

"Wow," the viewers could only say when they realized the real powers of the two.

Then as they crossed, a temple hidden by a powerful barrier entered their view. Alicia and Apollo immediately went inside disregarding any defensive mechanism that tried to harm them.

"You guys are at the prayer room right now, head straight to the right then go up to the highest and biggest room. That is the location of the archbishop's room"

"Noted," the two said in unison.

Although Apollo has Jeremiah to tell him that he felt satisfied hearing Mckenzie.

"There is a powerful barrier covering the room if we aren't careful we might accidentally trigger it" Alicia made a warning though Apollo already noticed.

"Jeremiah"

[On it Creator]

The layers of protective enchantment began to reconstruct themselves before opening on their own.

"You overhaul the barrier's defensive system"

"Yes now let's head inside"

"Right"

The place was pretty normal like those found in regular houses. At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary until Apollo noticed something when he approached the desk of the archbishop.

On top of the desk was a broken sword that the boy had once seen when he was a kid.

"Is this the broken Excalibur" he questioned making his partner Alicia confused as well.

"Is this the real Excalibur?"

"I don't know Alicia but if I am not mistaken Excalibur was the sword that was once used by the first emperor Julius von Celestio"
