Apollo didn’t expect that the shackles would give him this much trouble, as they seed to follow the pattern. The more he uses life force, the stronger the draining effect will be on him. Making his attack many tis weaker than it usually is.
But he didn’t have ti to think about this as other Alchemy puppets also jumped at him, not wanting him to give him any leisure ti to think, and many fists and kicks ca towards him from different directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Their fists and bodies clashed with each other as he bravely faced them, but he was pushed back into the corner as the alchemy puppets launched a barrage of assaults on him, and he didn’t seem to do much as every ti he tried to use life force, the shackles disrupted him while draining most of his energy.
Those puppet’s attacks weren’t random, as they seed to have good coordination; if one attacked from the front, soone from behind would also attack him.
He was holding up with his powerful physique, but even that had started to crumble as the bodies of the puppets were too sturdy and indestructible. Every fist and kick shook his bones.
Now surrounded by a dozen puppets, he alone is aware of his present situation.
Throughout his life, he never faced such a situation, even in ruins. He didn’t feel this bad even facing the ’God’, as the difference between them was too large to compare. Although the puppets are strong, they didn’t reach the level where he would feel despair.
But now, because of the shackles, he seed to have beco a punching bag for those dummies as they, one after another, attacked him.
He had to find a way to balance the draining effect and his usage of life force during attacks; otherwise, this bout ended with him getting a good thrashing.
As he was thinking, a kick from behind sent him flying a few ters, but just as he barely landed on his feet, two other alchemy puppets were already waiting for him.
He didn’t think much; he just wanted to attack fast and punch with life force as much as he could in his current condition. But this ti, sothing startling happened, which surprised him.
Bang!.. Boom!
After his fists collided, a fraction of a second later, a surprisingly powerful second impact took place. This impact, stronger than his initial fist attack, sent the two alchemy puppets flying.
"This?"
"Delayed outburst!"
They were all surprised. Apollo was shocked, as he didn’t think sothing like this could suddenly happen.
But this accidental burst gave him a hint on how to use his strength while wearing these ’Hell Stone shackles’.
He wasn’t sure, but he felt that the sudden eruption and the delayed attack might have sothing to do with the speed, as before the attack, he was trying to attack as fast as possible.
So now all he had to do was find the correct timing. With that new finding, his battle intent ignited again, and he again, started a full-throttle battle with the alchemy puppets.
"Faster! Faster!....."
He started to concentrate on every single attack and carefully felt the change at microscopic levels. Every ti he attacks, he tries his best to be faster than before and feels the different reactions of the shackles and his life force.
Apollo slowly, with ti, started to beco faster, and his movents and attacks started to beco more efficient and powerful.
He entered a trance where he seed to forget anything as he felt the life force closer than ever before. He started to see and understand new things about life force.
Although he was getting faster and better, he still didn’t replicate the delayed outburst.
But he didn’t stop the alchemy puppets, who seed to have unlimited stamina.
His concentration reached its peak, and the world around him changed as he deeply rged with the world. His breaths, movents, and heartbeat all seem to have synchronized. He found sothing, as he closed his eyes and punched in the air between him and the puppets.
Boom!... Bang!
An invisible shockwave travelled through and knocked the puppets ahead, who didn’t feel anything until they were sent flying dozens of ters in an instant.
Crack! Crack!
"F**K!"
Master Aaron and Blacksmith Aragon were shocked, and both could not control their twitching faces. As of right now, Apollo has not only perford a delayed attack from a distance, but his attack seems to have dealt so damage to the alchemy puppets.
The puppets that were supposed to take any attacks below second-rank limit breakers were damaged by an attack by a kid who didn’t even break a single limit.
Apollo, on the other side, was excited, as he seed to have found the trick to generate such powerful attacks that would destroy his enemies from inside.
In a trance, he understood that to generate the powerful delay impact without the hindrance of the draining effect of the shackles.
To do that, he needed to find the correct timing and an extrely fast release of life force. The attacks will produce the delay effect only when he releases his life force so fast that even the restraints on him can’t absorb his life force in that instant.
The fast attack not only made his offence more destructive, but they could also seem to attack his enemies from inside.
If he mastered it perfectly, he would be able to do triple the damage without any other ans.
"Co continue, ah..."
He wanted to try, but suddenly he felt drained. It seems the last attack used most of the remaining life force. But this wasn’t surprising, as he continued to fight bravely for almost an hour without rest.
"Stop, disable security level 1."
"Rest now; you already have quite a fight."
Master Aaron stopped Apollo from trying any further to let him rest. This battle not only brought out the hidden strength of his apprentice but also helped him understand new killer moves.
And most importantly, he had enough surprises for today.
