Chapter 22: Chapter 19: The Adventure of Roe (13)
[Before the incident]
Belz, panting with exertion, declared, "It's time to end this!"
Watching Belz spring into action, I observed her with a mix of surprise and admiration as she cast a complex spell, forming a large circle in the air. "Mighty Fire!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with determination and resolve.
The flames she summoned weren't ordinary; they blazed with an intense blue hue, a sign of their immense power. I couldn't help but be astonished by Belz's prowess—had she truly achieved this evolution of fire magic? It was as if the very essence of her spell had been transformed into something extraordinary.
As the roaring flames surged toward Aurathos, he found himself trapped, unable to evade the oncoming inferno. His eyes widened in realization as the intense heat bore down upon him, searing everything in its path. Despite his formidable abilities, even he couldn't escape the overwhelming power of Belz's mighty fire.
"Such a strong fire," he muttered through gritted teeth, his expression contorted in agony as the searing heat enveloped him.
As I witnessed Aurathos being engulfed by the powerful blaze, a sense of awe washed over me once more. Belz's display of mastery over her magic was truly remarkable. It was a testament to her potential as a mage, and I couldn't help but marvel at the strength of my creation.
In that moment, amidst the chaos of battle, I felt an overwhelming swell of pride. Watching Belz wield her magic with such skill and determination was truly inspiring. It served as a powerful reminder of the boundless potential she possessed, ready to be unleashed upon the world.
As I rushed over to Belz, concern etched into every line of my face, I couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for her well-being.
"Belz, are you okay?" I inquired urgently, my voice laced with concern.
Panting heavily, Belz managed a weak nod. "I'm okay, Apostle Roe," she replied, her breaths coming in ragged gasps. "I'm just exhausted from using so much magic."
I nodded in understanding. Given the immense power required for the spell she had just cast, it was no surprise that she was feeling drained. Belz's capabilities never failed to impress me; her creation of such a formidable spell only further cemented her status as a prodigy in my eyes.
"You really created such an amazing spell," I remarked, admiration filled my tone.
In response, Belz shrugged off the praise with a tired smile. "It's no big deal," she insisted modestly. "It's nothing compared to your ability to cast spells without the need for a circle." Her gaze met mine wearily as she added, "If I were to use it against you, you'd just counter with your chantless magic, that air manipulation of yours."
I couldn't help but chuckle at her observation. It was true; my proficiency in chantless magic did give me a considerable advantage in certain situations.
Well in a direct confrontation, her spell might not stand up against my aang method (chuckle). Because I could easily evade and counter her attacks. But despite that, a profound sense of admiration still washed over me. Afterall Belz's magical potential was undeniable, and her ability to create such a powerful spell showcased her talent and determination. Even if she couldn't match my unconventional casting methods, her creativity and dedication were something to be admired.
As I was lost in thought, pondering the implications of Belz's incredible feat, a chilling voice sliced through the air from behind us.
Aurathos spoke in a calm tone, his voice carrying an underlying threat. "To think you could inflict such damage upon me, Eldoans," he said, his words filled with calm yet menace.
As I shifted my gaze towards the source of the voice, a surge of both surprise and apprehension washed over me. Aurathos stood there, His body was heavily wounded, two of his clawed arms burnt and the other two tentacled ones almost burnt to nothingness. But to my shock, they were slowly healing. This monster had regenerative powers? You gotta be kidding me!
Belz's voice broke through my shock, echoing my own disbelief. "It can't be," she exclaimed, her tone laced with disbelief. "I thought you died after being engulfed in that massive fire."
Aurathos's response sent a chill through the air. "Well, that's true. I almost died," he admitted, his voice tinged with a hint of amusement. "If it weren't for..."
I interrupted, my curiosity piqued. "For?"
Aurathos's smirk widened, sending a shiver down my spine. "For my evolution," he declared cryptically.
His words hung in the air, leaving me stunned. "Evolution?" I repeated, my mind struggling to comprehend the implications.
Aurathos nodded, his gaze unwavering. "Yes, you see, after that massive fire, I began to adapt and understand the magic you wield," he explained, his tone laced with a sinister edge. "It triggered a transformation within me, causing me to evolve."
His explanation sent a chill down my spine as I struggled to process the implications. How could he have evolved so rapidly in response to our magic? And more importantly, what did this newfound power even mean?
Before I could voice my thoughts, Aurathos raised his tentacled hands, a sinister aura enveloped them, foreboding the impending danger. Before I could react, he struck Belz with his tentacles, sending her flying backward.
"Belz!" I cried out, my voice echoing with concern as I watched her being thrown across the battlefield, unconscious.
As my gaze flickered to Belz, lying unconscious on the ground in the distance, a sense of urgency and determination filled me.
"You bastard, how did you become this strong?!" My voice reverberated with frustration and disbelief as I confronted Aurathos, my eyes blazing with intensity.
Aurathos's sinister laughter echoed in response, sending a chill down my spine. His taunting words only fueled my determination as I braced myself for the impending confrontation.
"I told you, I've feel the fundamentals of your so called magic," Aurathos sneered, his voice dripping with malice as he prepared to unleash another spell.
Fear and determination surged through me as I watched Aurathos summon a sinister spell, its malevolent energy crackling in the air. I was shocked—I couldn't believe my eyes. Dark magic, right there in front of me.
"Impossible! Is that... dark magic?!" I gasped, my mind struggling to comprehend the depths of Aurathos's power.
Aurathos's smirk widened, but there was a flicker of confusion in his eyes as he observed the spell he had unleashed. "Dark magic?" he questioned, his tone tinged with uncertainty. " Hmm... I like the sound of it—dark magic. Then I'll call this dark magic." he declared, his grin filled with sinister intent.
Then Turning my attention towards the system, I addressed the system within my mind. "System, can you check his status?" I inquired, my voice tinged with urgency.
"Affirmative, host," came the system's prompt response, ready to provide the information I sought. I knew that within the system, I could access detailed data about him, for he was also one of my creations, for Iam a God of this Universe.
Suddenly, a window appeared right in front of me.

He was originally a mind-controlling squid monster from the early era, Aurathos survived and evolved through his insatiable hunger for consumption. As he absorbed more knowledge and experiences, he began to question his own existence and seek deeper understanding. After absorbing the essence of other creatures, including a squid monster, he transformed into his current humanoid octopus form. His encounter with magic further catalyzed his evolution, granting him dark magic abilities and solidifying his status as a powerful and mysterious entity in the world.
As the window materialized before me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me. Looking at the status, I felt shock. "Shit," I muttered under my breath, my mind racing to comprehend what I was seeing. I had indeed created the squid monster during the first era, but I never anticipated it would evolve in such a drastic manner.
Aurathos's sudden interruption shattered my thoughts, his words echoing in the air with a tone of genuine curiosity. "When you hit me with your magic, I thought I could replicate it, and I thought I could adapt it, but I was wrong," he confessed, his voice tinged with intrigue rather than frustration. Then, his gaze bore into mine with an intensity that piqued my curiosity. "Who are you really?" he demanded, his tone laced with genuine interest and a hint of suspicion.
Just as I was about to speak, a voice cut through the air, filled with anguish and accusation. "You monster! What have you done to Belz?!"
As I turned towards the sound of the shout, I spotted Momoa and Jono kneeling beside Belz, their expressions a mix of concern and anger. Momoa held Belz in his arms, his voice trembling with emotion as he demanded answers.
It seems they had already defeated the mini Aurathos (I thought to myself)
Then Aurathos's smile sent a chill down my spine as he spoke, his words dripping with malice. "Hoh, if you are here, it means you already killed my children," he remarked, his tone laced with contempt and menace.
Momoa rose to his feet, his eyes ablaze with determination. "You will pay for this," he declared, his gaze fixed squarely on Aurathos.
