I created my own system

Magical beast have consciousness but often times weak and only grow stronger once they reach a certain rank. That is why in blood season conquering spells are effective, since their opponents are being that has an ability to think.

The spell that put the swordmaster at Lumen powerless, an area of effect spell that will put your mind and body in a mess.

The hymm continue along the silent flow of the snow, Vesta's flute came to my ears while the mages from the tower began casting the spell that go along with it.

"Its starting"

Along the shifting pile of snow and sound of heavy footsteps, the as serene—soft flakes drifting gracefully from the heavens, painting the world in white silence. Each flake floats on the breath of the wind, dancing with elegance and innocence. Upon landing, it muffles the ground, wraps the trees in a quiet shroud, and silences the world in a hushed stillness.

But this… this was no ordinary snowfall.

It was conquering spell combine into the blizzard and amplified by a peaceful rhythm into a deathly hymn. Each flake that touched the enemy did not soothe—but scarred them, and make their bodies weakened. The gentle cold became razor-sharp frost, biting into flesh and mind alike. What should've been numbing comfort now burned with sub-zero malice, seeping into nerves, crawling beneath the skin like living shards of ice. The music continue creating a melody that clouded thier judgment, each step they took create chaos in their minds as the noise were greatly amplified to ring inside them. No flame could warm. No charm could soothe. The torment remained—an unrelenting itch beneath the bones, a cold that gnawed at reason. Some screamed. Others fell to the ground, driven mad by the phantom music that clawed through their veins. The haunting melody of the flute pierced through it all, echoing like a curse. Its sound synchronized with the falling snow, each note birthing visions in the minds of those caught in the spell. Echoes of fear. Memories of pain. Nightmares resurrected.

The beast began to howl like crazy, but it didn't stop, the symphony continue and it boost the power of the tower mages.

{All positions ready?}

{Ready!}

{Already right on the target!}

I could hear McKenzie and Casper, they are already holding the control over the magic cannons.

{I am waiting for the signal}

It was Matilda she was assign at the ballitas it seems she was ready to fire upon command.

On the other hand Vesta and Blair stood by each other, both were increasing the power of the enchantment.

"I don't think anyone here can break a command from Blair's blessings.

And so the nightmare on the mines began, even before the horde of magical beast arrive, blood were already spatter on the snowy ground. The music had turn them into a frenzy of madness to attack each other. Roars eachoes at the deepest part of the forest.

The barriers were cast along the traps, ready to activate upon contact with the target.

I cant help but smirk seeing how things in the forest are progressing.

"The snow is increasing"

[Creator some beasts are actually shutting down thier consciousness so that they wont be influence by the spell]

"Well that was good, so what we have right now are mindless beast that is only guided by their instinct"

[It seems so]

Well if they didn't do anything they will end up killing each other. But now with thier bodies fre of thoughts thier bodies were left into a state of daze before finally rushing towards us.

"Their instincts are directing them here rather than killing each other, however...."

The snow suddenly flow even harder while the wind trun extremely violent. But it didn't bother us instead it strengthen us.

This is the power of a conquering spell, weakening the enemy's strength while getting stronger in return.

"Even when thier minds are no longer control thier bodies wont held on for long.

My eyes then locked on a specific beast. A white tiger, it claws are as hard as diamonds. Fur that is as white as the snow and sapphire eyes that steadily look at its target.

The mines

"That thing is strong"

[Are we going to interfere?]

"No they can handle that"

A smile suddenly form in my lips as dozens of projectiles fly through the falling snow. Breaking its flakes in breath taking speed. Dozens of explosion shook the ground, I know after that more enemies will come.

[They are here now]

"Yeah finally, our VIPs are here"

Finally the presence I felt before is arriving here.

"Hmmm....the last one is still hiding"

Well it doesn't matter, I summoned my mithril spear and without I jump outside the shield of the fortress.

"I will go first Alicia"

"Sure I will stay here"

With that I dash through the thick snow dodging the explosion from the ballitas and cannons.

{Apollo be careful!}

{Apollo don't be so reckless}

Multiple voices came to my earpiece but I only have one answer to them.

"Watch my back okay"

I powered myself with lightning, and it wraps my body with energy. All my sense sharpens and immediately I found my first target. A golden sabertooth Goliath, a magical beast that harness the power of earth and fire.

I scan it wanting to see the weaknesses I can exploit, however like a strange coincidence, it found me too. It seems its instinct had guided it to a threat that needs to be eliminated, me.

[Creator..]

"Yeah I know"

It seems this sabertooth is not the only one that think of me as dangerous.

"We got a large company here"

I wasn't nervous despite the huge crowd that is surrounding instead I let them be.

It was unfortunate but they aren't a threath to me,

This winter, I will make sure it wont cause any bad memory to me, will turn everything to dust that will make me forget any winter besides this one.

"Now lets make this memorable"

Lightning suddenly buzz, the temperature increases and with a wave of my spear half of the attacking beast was wipe out by the scorching lightning.

"Thunder aura, Negative lightning" a different current of heat struck and the surviving magical beast took cover from the might of my spell.

[Incoming abilities]

Jeremiah warn followed by an arrow that pointing upward as my eyes followed saw dozens of meteors falling fast intot the barriers.

{We can handle that just focus on your side}

"Okay sister Sonya"

I heard her chuckle but then my body moved backwards dodging multiple attacks from my enemies.

"Here comes the sabertooth"

The ground trembles then it splite apart followed by towering molten stone and iron.

That is not all behind me are wind scythe and thunder thorns, all of this are skills from the surviving magical beast. To respond to such attack I charge my spear with lightning energy and throw it with all my might. A blue shadow flew around the battlefield destroying the attacks that is aiming at me.

[More are coming]

I nodded while simply moving my spear to deflect all attacks.

.

Apollo's domineering power put pressure on the surrounding beasts. The object of thier desire was already right in front of them and yet they could not reach it.

"Roar!"

The sabertooth had enough of its situation its instincts are guiding it to maw down the enemy yet that same instinct is the one that tells it to flee. Despite shutting down its mind, the magical beast was still conflicted. But still the urge to grow stronger made it possible to overcome its fear towards Apollo. It summoned more flames trying to fight of the lightning. However the heat brought by the boy can't be surpass easily. Just by standing in the middle of he battlefield was enough to draw a line that any beast cant cross. They will be struck in a half a second before they could even take another steps.

The wind was blowing hard and accompany by it is a spear that flies fast to decapitated the enemies.

"Damn they are endless!"

No matter how many he slew more are still coming, it felt like tsunami that came rushing down a stream.

"Tsk, thunder aura, Negative lightning"

A storm of light hit dozens of places in mere second, and on its wake are bodies that failed to defend against it.

"Roar!"

"You are still alive? You are quite tough"

He sabertooth although injured stood its ground relying on its senses to dodge the fast moving lightning.

{Apollo fall back, another horde are coming!}

It was Alya and immediately Apollo disappear and went back to the fortress.

{That was good now let me use some our weapons gets some rest Apollo} Sonya said and with that the atmosphere change again.

In the dance of this deathly blizzard, silhouettes moved like wraiths.

Groups of black-robed soldiers surged through the snow, untouched by the storm that shredded steel and froze magic mid-air. Their robes flowed like shadows against the white veil, immune to the fury around them. Their presence deepened the spell, as they clash against the enemies.
