Chapter 131: The Cosmic System Descended
’Fourteen feet tall... long golden hair flowing with starlight woven through it... but he’s definitely a man.’
Aldaric instantly confirmed it, also noticed that the man was wearing a gold-white armour, which was engraved with some kind of runes. After that, he looked at his eyes, which were burning with two starlights.
’Weird man.’ This thought came into his mind, before looking around, but finding none.
So he gave a curious look to the giant man and asked. "Where is your winged partner?"
Yes, Aldaric immediately concluded that this person belonged to the same group as the earlier attacker.
Even so, he showed no fear toward the mysterious man.
"You think you are smart, but I can clearly feel your realm. Early Bronze Knight." He shouted again to get some response from the person, but the man didn’t speak, just looked at him.
After a few moments, Luke shook his head, because he really thought that he had learned how to control his aether. So not anybody could spy on him, ’but I am still not good enough.’
Currently, the aura Luke’s body was emitting belonged to the Peak Silver Knight level.
It wasn’t his actual realm. Rather, the sheer amount of Aether within his body had increased to the point where it could be compared to that of a Peak Silver Knight.
Still, even after that, Aldaric was able to see his quality and accurately find out his realm, which was surprising.
"Well, I don’t have enough time, so let’s get done with this fight." Luke said with a bored voice, which surprised Aldaric.
’Does he really think that with mere Peak Silver Knight raw power, he can defeat me? Defeat a Mid-Golden Knight?’
Thinking this, Aldaric’s expression darkened with anger.
He had just been bombarded by hidden rats, and now another one had appeared, spouting such foolish words right to his face.
But the next moment, his anger completely disappeared, instead it turned into bafflement.
"Cosmos Manifestation." Luke’s heavy but calm voice, mixed with a little feminine tone, was heard by Aldaric and the next instant, above them, in the sky, a cosmic system materialized out of nowhere.
At the center of the system was a colossal rocky sphere, nearly 200 meters in diameter.
Surrounding it in a circular orbit were 10 elemental moons, each around 50 meters across, revolving at fixed distances from one another.
At the outermost edge, a hundred asteroids infused with different elemental attributes also rotated around the entire system, completing the celestial formation.
"This!"
For the first time in his life, Aldaric had witnessed something like this.
What astonished him the most was that this entire phenomenon had been summoned by an Early Bronze Knight. Although Luke’s Aether had temporarily reached the level of a Peak Silver Knight, his actual realm remained that of an Early Bronze Knight.
But still, this was insane and almost seemed impossible... unless, ’he has a high-rank artifact.’ Thinking this, his eyes changed, and greed appeared in them.
Because if he defeated him, then he was going to get two different powerful artifacts, after dealing with the winged man as well.
While he was thinking this with a blissful expression, a sudden strong gravitational force came from above, which nearly stopped his 30-foot-tall bear body.
’What the hell?’ Confusion flashed across his face as he quickly looked around.
Only then did he realize that the entire area had transformed into a high-gravity zone. Every tree within a one-kilometer radius had either cracked or bent under the immense pressure, their trunks forced flat against the ground.
Then his face turned to horror as he felt his strength was getting suppressed from the Peak of Mid-Golden Knight to the Peak of Early Golden Knight. And that was when he was using his Origin Skill. If not, then it would become Early Golden Knight.
So Aldaric turned his pale face toward the front. There the long-haired man was standing calmly, with a small smile on his face.
Luke became impressed after seeing the gravity suppression effects of his cosmic system.
Then a gentle voice came into his mind. "Luke, concentrate, and remember not to bring more energy or your body will burst apart."
Luke nodded after hearing Caelith’s voice, as he had done it before, so he could do it again.
And what was he going to do??
That was using his Cosmic Heart to generate more energy.
Why??
Because Caelith was the Cosmic Heart Titan, not a planet or star titan. So she had a heart, which contained endless energy.
And since Luke had transformed into that form, theoretically he could also use that; surprisingly, he was even doing that.
Because normally, at the first stage of Bronze Knight, he couldn’t sustain the Cosmic Heart Titan form for more than 1 minute or he would run out of stamina and many more reasons.
But now his heart was constantly pumping with aether, stamina, and healing energy. So he could sustain this form for a very, very long time.
’Sadly no.’ Luke shook his head, then recalled the cracks his body was getting when he used it for a long time, in the time chamber.
Yeah, Luke’s body was not a real titan body, so it couldn’t sustain the Cosmic Heart. Even though he was getting healed, it was like removing the water from a sinking ship, in the middle of the ocean, with the help of a bucket.
The rate at which his body was healing. It was destroying way faster with each passing moment.
So what was he about to do right now?? He was going to generate the whole system back again in his body.
The reason, of course, was for more strength. Because without using those cosmic system combined strengths, Luke’s attack power would be around Half-Golden Knight, which he knew for sure. It wasn’t even close to harming Aldaric.
With that, he concentrated...
Concentrated on his heart and increased the amount of energy it was releasing.
...So the moment he felt the amount increase. He started creating those asteroids, moons, and the planet back, one by one.
Aldaric, after getting a little calm down, observed that the person again stopped showing any reaction and was concentrating on something.
’Is it those floating bodies??’ He thought confusedly, ’So I need to disturb his concentration.’ On this thought, Aldaric’s smile returned to his face and he charged straight toward Luke, with slower speed than before.
