Chapter 47: Runic Tower(Part-4)

After taking a moment to rest, he continued his attempt to break more runic formations.

With some difficulty and concentration, Apollo cleared the ’80th’ runic array and equalised the record with the second-ranked Arya Stark.

"Shit! I almost lost it."

Apollo was sweating a bit, as on the ’80th’ runic array, it took him almost half an hour to completely break free from the fantasy.

He looked at the 81st runic array with a grave expression, not knowing what would happen in that. As with every step, the time and effort needed on formations were increasing, and the next one was going to be a brand new level of difficulty.

"Come on, bring it."

He steps into the ’81st’ formation that only one person cleared this year.

Szzzzzz!

The moment he stepped in, he blacked out; everything around him disappeared, with only darkness remaining.

Negative emotions started to flood his mind, and he seemingly seemed to have lost his mind. Even his strong spirit with cold, mysterious energy doesn’t seem to help at all.

This was something that never happened before, as there was no struggle and no indication of anything. Apollo not only couldn’t seem to see anything, but negative emotions were also slowly accumulating, making him lose his mind.

The time seemed to stop as he was alone, feeling nothing. But from the outside, it looks like he is standing in one place, like a statue.

But within his mind, he felt lost and was feeling worse and worse without any hope or reason, only loneliness, like a person who lost his way.

Outside time seemed to pass half an hour, an hour...two hours, and three hours, but Apollo didn’t show any sign of movement or any improvement.

But as the runic array hasn’t forced him out, he was still in the game, and it wasn’t the end. That he still has a chance.

Another hour, but there wasn’t any change in his situation, as internally he was still feeling lost, but suddenly the lost will seemed to ignite, as it seemed after four hours of silence, it burst from the depths of his mind.

Apollo seemed to remember the feeling of despair he felt lying on the hospital bed. His life, which was given a second chance, he doesn’t want to end like this. He wanted to be strong and fearless without being haunted by thoughts of death and despair.

Crack! Crack!

Something within him broke, and a burst of powerful aura came from within his body that seemed to synchronise with the laws of the world. An unusual aura covered him as he opened his eyes, shattering the array that held him.

His eyes were calm with a hint of indifference, and something within him seemed to have changed. It was not an increase in his strength, but it was more mysterious and important.

"Sigh!"

With that mysterious feeling around, it somewhat disappeared, and the usual Apollo seemed to have returned.

The ’81st’ array broked, and he also equalised the score with first ranker ’Falkor Aoki’ in the ranking monument on the first floor.

’Please give your name.’

On the token, glowing words with a small screen appeared. After seeing this, he still felt surprised at how beautifully runes could be used to do many things that were only possible with technology in the modern world.

But still, this world also has its kind of science and technology that can be mind-boggling for people on Earth.

As for the name, he was going to use his real name; he didn’t want ’Ice Lord’ to dominate in every field, and with that, he wrote his name on it.

"Apollo Fletcher."

Outside, a few people and Master Aaron, who also just returned from the fourth floor to see his apprentice, noticed the change in the ranking monument as one section of it glowed with a bright glow, and a new name started to appear on it.

With bright light, the first name on the current list changed and was replaced by a new name, ’Apollo Fletcher’, with a similar record of ’81st’ runic array.

According to the time taken, Apollo seems to be faster than the first guy, thus deserving the first spot.

"Oh, kid, you know how to surprise me."

Master Aaron was surprised as he saw his apprentice’s name directly in the first place. He did expect a good result from him, but he didn’t expect him to be this good. He seems to be exceeding his expectations in every way.

He had personally experienced how difficult those runic arrays are, and when he also tried for the first time, he couldn’t even reach the ’71st’ runic array. But now his much younger apprentice has reached the ’81st’ runic array.

Although it was surprising, a smile appeared on his face, as this was his apprentice, who might have much more talent than he expected.

Now, all he had to do was train him to his best so that he could reach higher levels in the future and make his name known throughout the empire or even the whole Rion.

"Damm! Who is this guy? He beat the young master of the Aoki family."

"Could he be the most talented member of some royal family or ancient force?"

Those few started muttering with each other as they tried to guess Apollo’s identity.

But just at that moment, the runic array shook, and Apollo came out of it to surprise others, but he seemed to not care about other eyes on him. After he noticed his master, he directly walked towards him.

Those people wanted to ask if he was the number one Apollo Fletcher, but now, in addition to his good looks and cold aura, there was a mysterious feeling that made them hesitate.

Master Aaron also noted a change in his apprentice, as if Apollo had blended with the universe, giving him the impression that he was confronted with the world itself, rather than another person. However, it also gave him a deeper and more mysterious feeling, making him uneasy and his soul tremble.
