I created my own system

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Dungeon Summon



Thunder erupted while clouds turned dark.

"What's going on?" the girl beside me spoke, her brown curly hair sways as she ran towards the knights and mages who were assigned to protect us.

"Arabela, what is it?"

"Sir Hansen the sky look!" she urgently said while holding onto Hansen, the captain of the imperial knights.

"Apollo what's going on"

Alicia and the rest arrive, they all stare at the same dark sky as me. However, their thoughts and mine must be different.

"It's dungeon magic," I said and immediately the ship's defensive barrier activated.

Dungeon magic is the combination of earth and darkness elements. Earth is utilized to create the maze-like structure of the dungeon while darkness is added to create illusions and trap monsters inside.

Those monsters are either magical beasts or demon beasts placed under the dungeon creator's command.

From the sky, the dark clouds turn into walls that seem to divide the entire region. I felt the mana howl like a raging monster until that mana transformed the wall of clouds into solid earth.

From the beautiful sky they calmly sailed in, it turned into an underground stone wall structure. The floors and ceiling suddenly emerge while the dimly lit corridor contains traps and torches, which cast eerie shadows on the corners of the dungeon.

The sounds of rusty iron bars and chains made the kids behind me scared. It was a very distinct sound and for a moment a certain memory of mine emerged.

Starting from the four huge forests to the territory of the tower mages three dungeons were cast. Each task is to trap the beings within it. One is for the four forests, one for the mage tower and the remaining is for the ship we currently in

"How do we break this dungeon" Braiden said, I answered.

"For us to get out of here we need to defeat the final boss of the dungeon"

"That boss should be located at the deepest part of the dungeon"

"Are dungeon bosses strong?"

Agnes asked while holding onto Niko's sleeve.

"Yeah but unfortunately we are stronger"

"GARAGHHHH!" an inhumane voice suddenly roared and made the walls surrounding us shake.

I felt nervous gazes behind my back but still, they remain strong.

The ship remains suspended in the air near the dungeon's ceiling, for a moment I have the urge to explore but knowing it was made to capture us I immediately stop myself.

"Little sun what do think we should do?" Sir Sam asked however I can see that his question was a mere test for me.

"Jeremiah scan the area"

[Affirmative ]

Then a map appeared before me containing the location of the boss and the dungeon creator's room.

"It's located right behind the room of the boss"

"So Apollo what do plan to do"

"Sigh...seriously senior mage Sam why are testing me when we need to protect people here"

I felt exasperated due to his words but what I needed to do was break this dungeon.

"All targets have been acquired right?"

[Yes creator]

"Alright"

My mana suddenly surges creating sparks that soon transform into tiny blue flames.

"Wait this spell" Samael said as he recognized the spell Apollo was casting.

"Firefly"

A sea of blue glowing dots flew across the floors and corridors of the dungeon.

"Oh shit I need to take cover!" Niko exclaimed as he ran towards the cabin with his friends in tow.

"What's up with those kids" Hansen questioned not knowing why they panic.

Since the only ones who knew my spell were those who witnessed it during the entrance exam it's no wonder they are unaware of it.

[All target acquire]

Hearing Jeremiah's notification Apollo snapped his fingers and immediately an ear-piercing noise echoed as explosions swallowed the dungeon.

The floors shook while the walls began falling over but I was not done yet. I took out something from my inventory and set it up towards the location of the boss.

"Is that a cannon?" Sam asked but I just nodded.

A metallic body with a smooth black surface, my cannon named Orion came out and landed perfectly on the deck.

"Jeremiah enemy status"

[Panicking, they scatter on the underground tunnel they made, only the dungeon creator remains]

"Great to hear"

I held the cannon's trigger which was similar to a gun's and eagerly pulled it.

"BOOM!"

A pillar of light went straight towards the location of the boss breaking every single defensive barrier it had.

[Creator the boss is still alive]

"That's okay" I wave my hand and a cluster of blue dots emerge.

It was a beautiful sight to behold, a sea of blue flying lights similar to a firefly, giving a calm and sense of assurance to those who can see it.

However opposite to its appearance this spell caused 500 aspiring students straight to the infirmary

The spell firefly calmly flew and went towards a certain location, the location of the boss.

"GRRR"

Inside the wrecked space which was previously adorned with vintage furniture, A being with a body similar to a man but humongous and muscular while its head is that of a bull. This beast stands upright on two legs while two muscular arms hold two giant axes.

His back although a human, a black mane-like fur would be seen on it, on its head are large horns curved, protruding from the sides of its head.

I stared at the injured beast with its eyes still remain fierce and murderous.

"What a typical dungeon beast"

Then I flick my finger and just like what happened before a full blast-off happened.

"GARAAHHH"

However instead of dying the beast remains fierce and keeps swinging his two axes like a lunatic, it's all it can do because they are bound to their rooms and can't leave no matter what they do. Well unless the dungeon creator dispels the dungeon magic but that is close to impossible.

"GARAGHHHHH!!"

[Creator the other priests from the monastery are retreating]

"Why?"

[The dungeon surrounding the tower had been broken and the priests located there are all dead]

"I see so the others are arriving now"

[Yes they are]

"Sigh why would they choose dungeon magic out of all spells there" I shook my head in frustration, if I were them I would cast an anti-magic circle and make an ambush consisting of assassins, after all, that's the bane of wizards and witches.

"GARAGHHHHH!!" that beast roared like a lunatic again making my ears pain. I changed gears and instead used a sniper rifle.

Dungeon beasts are strong if you fight them head-on but if you remain at a distance with good weapons in your hand. A beast like a minotaur is just an oversized stationary target.

"CLICK!"

A bullet was loaded and with just a slight pull from a hand, a silent killer made its way to my target.

"THUD!"

The sound of a falling body echoed across the dungeon and the great beast met the ground with its head blown up into pieces.

"There you go"

"CLAP!"

The 72 mages with us clap their hands at my execution of weapons and magic.

"That was good!" Sir Sam told me as he used his arm to pull me into his arms.

"You hanging out with the Blue Moon tower mages was worth it" he added making some mages from the Blue Moon tower laugh.

I only shook my head however I noticed something.

"Where are the knights?"

Then all of us from the tower looked across the deck however we couldn't see any of them.

"Hey down here!"

I heard Hansen's voice and saw him and his knights dangling from the edge of the ship.

"Why have you guys ended up there?"

"Ask yourself kid!" he shouted at me.

"Your spell blew us up!"

"Eh?" confused I looked at the other mages around me and they all shook their heads.

Unlike the tower mages who were prepared for the impact the knights weren't, so after the spell was cast the overpowering impact sent them flying out of the ship. They tried to shout for help but the continuous explosions masked their voices.

"Sorry" I said genuinely sorry for the situation.

However, as we spoke the entire dungeon shook.

"It seems like the others have arrived"

And just like what I said the space around us tore apart like fragile glass, and from the torn space certain people came inside.

"Apollo!"

A familiar voice made my head look up in delight.

"Mom! Over here!"

There up in the air was a woman who made the knights shut up. She was a beauty through and through and adding the fact she looked like a flying goddess, made the people around me mesmerize.

"Captain Hansen" I spoke making sure my voice woke them up from their daydreaming.

"That's my mom okay...she is Duchess Lionheart the wife of Duke Lionheart"

"We are clear right?"

Surprisingly they all nod their head while they still remain dangling at the edge of the ship.

"Sir Sam please help them"

Sam nodded and cast a spell to make the 11 knights float towards the deck of the ship.

"Apollo"

A worried voice made me look back and saw my mom already landed on the deck.

"We are all fine" I said but as soon as she got close to me my mother pulled me into her arms and embraced me.

I didn't say anything and instead let her continue, her warmth was something that calmed me down whenever I felt murderous.

"It's done, Apollo"

A voice sounded from above me and so I looked up.

"Sir Arthur"

He smiled at me as he landed on the deck.

"We should get out of here since this dungeon will soon crumble"

All 72 mages on board and 1000 mages from the tower cast a spell.

"Darkness element void magic, mass teleportation"

My vision was filled with bright light as we all teleported above the city of Sidus.

"Everyone we have arrived!"

Tim shouted enthusiastically.
