The system had never given such a warning before.
This time, the system described this demonic creature as terrifying. It was likely that this demonic creature had broken through to a higher level. It was even more powerful than all the demonic creatures Chu He had seen before.
The higher the rank of the demonic creature, the more likely it would have some strange and special methods.
For example, Bloody Mary from before could actually pull people into a dream and kill them.
What about the other advanced demonic creatures?
Even Chu He could not guarantee that he could resist all possible methods they could possess.
Should he accept the quest?
Chu He stood in place and thought silently.
His current strength was also much stronger than before. If his strength was comparable to an Advanced Mage before, then he should have already broken through the limit of an Advanced Mage now.
Eleven Superman cells, eleven lightning cells, and fifteen fire cells.
The growth in strength that they provided to Chu He was unimaginable, it was the source of his confidence.
After thinking for a moment, Chu He decided to accept this quest.
The Superman cells gave him immense strength. Even the strongest person among ordinary humans could not compare to him.
Other than that, his body’s toughness had also been greatly enhanced, including the defense on the surface of his body. Even if a bullet hit him, he would only suffer minor injuries.
Lightning and fire were his most powerful attacks against demonic creatures.
These two were extremely destructive. As long as the demonic creature he was facing was not ridiculously powerful, Chu He was confident that he could kill it.
Compared to when he came in the day, the black magic power in the school was becoming more and more dense.
The sky was still bright, but a layer of black fog could be seen on the surface of the buildings.
Chu He found a place where no one was around and climbed over the school wall.
Although St. Peter High School’s wall was more than four meters tall, this height was not difficult for Chu He who had Superman cells.
After entering the school, Chu He followed the power of black magic and searched ahead.
Eventually, he arrived at the building with the heaviest aura of black magic.
At that moment, Chu He’s entire body was covered in flames and his face could not be seen clearly. He had already become that mysterious expert, Apollo.
Chu He was slightly taken aback when he came downstairs as he saw two familiar faces.
They were Bruce and Alice, whom he had met at the factory back then.
Chu He scratched his head speechlessly.
Were there so few mages in San Francisco?
Why were they always the ones hunting demonic creatures?
Bruce and Alice were discussing plans downstairs when they suddenly saw Chu He wrapped in flames. They immediately widened their eyes in excitement.
“It’s that expert! The expert has appeared again!”
“Great, there’s hope to complete this mission now.”
Bruce and Alice walked over and greeted Chu He warmly.
“Do I know you?” Chu He’s cold voice sounded in their ears.
“Of course. Sir, we just met at the factory two nights ago.”
“Oh,” Chu He replied coldly.
He did not intend to explain further, nor did he want to have any contact with these mages.
Just as he was about to walk into the building, Alice suddenly asked, “Sir Mage, are you Chu He?”
Chu He’s pupils suddenly constricted.
He did not expect his identity to be exposed.
However, he still chose to deny it.
Chu He turned his head and looked at Alice while shrouded in flames. He said coldly, “I’m not Chu He, nor do I know who that is.”
After walking into the school building, Chu He was still somewhat curious.
From the beginning to the end, he had never revealed his true strength as Chu He, nor had he revealed his true appearance as Apollo. How did Alice guess his identity?
Could it be the legendary sixth sense possessed by women?
Just as he thought of this, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
It was Bruce who had followed Chu He into the dormitory building.
“Please slow down, Sir Mage.”
After walking to Chu He, Bruce said respectfully, “The demonic creature in this dormitory building has already broken through to the level of a great demonic creature. It’s very dangerous. Now, our team leader and another expert are fighting it in the dormitory building.”
“So?”
“Sir Mage, I can bring you up. Otherwise, if Captain suddenly sees you in battle and can’t tell if you’re friend or foe, it won’t be good if we cause a misunderstanding.”
“Then lead the way.”
Chu He could not be bothered to think of what Bruce’s goal was.
On the way to the elevator, Bruce asked in a low voice, “Sir Mage, are you also from San Francisco?”
“It has nothing to do with you.” Chu He could not be bothered to answer. As expected, Bruce had initiated this to try and find information about his situation.
However, Chu He had no interest in answering.
Bruce also sensed Chu He’s mood. He knew better than to ask further.
He thought to himself: ‘Can this mysterious Apollo really be the old classmate that Alice mentioned?’
Why did he hide his identity when he already possessed such powerful strength at such a young age?
With Chu He’s strength, it was entirely possible for him to be on the same level as the captain of the Magical Investigation Unit.
Bruce could not understand.
He became a mage because he wanted to reach a higher position and gain more authority.
Otherwise, what was the point of fighting and killing demonic creatures every day?
