A Terrifying Opponent (II)

----

Upon noticing Axel's expression, Aaron glared at him, "Stop being childish! We have to take care of them, or else the situation could worsen." On top of being angered by Axel's behavior, he felt worried for the safety of his mother. This was truthfully the first time he had witnessed her battle.

Ultimately, Axel groaned, "Shut up! I understand already."

As that happened, Apollo glanced at the Dark Cutter and frowned, 'You've been with me for a while now, but this may be our last day together.'

Each attack against a Rank 2 Flame Salamander increased the amount of small nicks in the weapon. It was only a matter of time until it shattered.

Left with no other choice, Apollo waited for Aaron and the rest to gather a worthwhile number of salamanders before unleashing the weakest Demonic Massacre Wave possible.

The way the attack landed, all of their Essence Cores were exposed, allowing Apollo to extract and store them easily.
