Assumptions Lead to Overwhelming Expectations (I)

The days continued to pass and with that, Apollo's aura bolstered and became unrestrained. Now that his cultivation was advancing, it was difficult to keep his aura under wraps. Especially so, since it was impure Demonic Anima flowing through him in place of Natural Essence.

In its own right, this type of energy was both volatile and extremely powerful. Hence, expecting Apollo to be able to control from initial interaction was asking for more than the doable. To do so, he would need to familiarize himself with using it in combat. That way, it would appear more natural as well as deepen his understanding of it.

Shortly after, the atmosphere of the independent space dwindled triggering Apollo's eyes opened. Unlike before, it seemed the independent space was deteriorating in benefits. In light of this, Apollo rose to his feet, loosening his body; muffled explosions sounded from his joints as he stretched, rocking from side to side.
