Chapter 554 - The Ark Of Apollo

The boy who yearned to have a family finally has one, so why was he so aggressive with his life choices? He didn't need to care for his safety when alone since he didn't have anyone else. But now, things are different, and Raiyen is required to learn how to cherish life better.

"Don't disappoint me, alright? Or I'll drag your body out of the grave to beat you up again," said Z.

Mavislin tilted her head in confusion as the Headmaster finally made a move and opened up the last profile of the six targets. A Light Mage, going by 'Apollo.' His physical appearance was a male in his early twenties with a lean muscle frame.

He had bright yellow curly short hair and brown eyes. According to the live feed, Apollo was labeled a danger symbol in all members' notes. This Mage was not based on any Domain and ran rampant throughout the area.

The difference is that he wasn't kidnapping kids. Instead, the Light Mage has been taking in stray Mages, and from the looks of things, he is also the one controlling the rest of the targets. Stray Mages who have been in hiding ever since the fall of the Congregation.

Apollo was part of an experiment called the 'Enhanced Fighters Project' during the height of the Congregation. Z was in charge of that project but was handed over to Gillian since the Husks were making their return. Apollo was part of the Fourth Regiment out of the created six.

Z was only around for the First and Second Regiments. Afterward, it was Gillian who ran the show. However, an incident occurred when one of the training areas dealing with poison exploded, and the whole area was quadrant off due to the deadly gas. Regrettably, Apollo was in there.

Before the incident, Gillian used to see Apollo as the star student out of all 50 members of the Fourth Regiment. He was a Light Mage who didn't like to heal others with his powers. With this fact in mind, Apollo was the best combatant on the field.

But it has been confirmed that he isn't related to the Valkyries whatsoever, so he isn't as powerful as Mavislin. However, Apollo has been known to use physical attacks, and his best weapon used is either his dual swords or bow. And Elemental Spells of the essential kind.

Like the rest of the targets, Apollo had an Original Spell called the Sacred Land Of Delos and had eight stages called 'Gifts.' Despite having the most forms in an Original Spell, only five have been used against Mages who did not comply with Apollo.

The spell structure of Sacred Land Of Delos works quite interestingly. None of the other Mages follow such a method. Following the God Of Light myth by the same name, the gifts are ranked by when Apollo received those blessings or gifts.

The five shown to his opponents were the first five gifts; Asteria, Ambrosia, Golden Chariot, and Shrine Of Delphi. But Apollo was on the list because he was the only one who reached out to Gillian on a personal note to challenge him.

But with the control of the Arks, most of the members on site have dispatched people to find his whereabouts. They ensured the Founders had no idea about the Light Mage's challenge to the Headmaster. The reason for the Light Mage's sudden challenge was still unknown.

Everyone knew Gillian wouldn't care to take such a trifle... But they were wrong. The poor Headmaster hasn't been on any missions for the past few years. He only started fighting again when Benjamin broke into the Old Chapel.

"Apollo's whereabouts are the hardest to find out of the six targets. It might even take us months to hone into his location. Even if we've got the whole of the Arks looking for this Mage, I doubt we can find him properly," stated Baldwin, shaking his head.

"You're right, but Apollo has got a special move called 'I Call Upon My Twin: Artemis', making it possible for the two to interchange identities when they make a move. But with the knowledge of an Aki, Gillian would make finding their location a piece of cake," replied Mavislin.

"So far, no records of 'Artemis' appear in the incident report files, but there is an increase of animals being slaughtered in all Five Domains' forests. I'm guessing the Goddess Of Hunt has made her move but not harming anyone or making contact with Apollo."

"Thus, I'm not sure if Apollo would be at full strength. I'm surprised that this guy was from the Regiments. I'd never thought I would see another Mage from that program walking around alive," added Baldwin, shaking his head at the information on Apollo.
