A Gruesome Brawl, Inflicting Punishment (II)

----

Arleo's eyes widened and his mental clarity returned as soon as he realized what Apollo was doing! An excruciating pain swept through his body as his personal Ira was being forcefully extracted.

Unlike a Greater Demon where only the vessel was augmented, evolving into an Archdemon meant the demon was required to meld their Infernal Nucleus and/or Tainted Temple with their body. In others words, their entire vessel became the container to hold their energy.

Similarly, this meant that the pain would increase exponentially if it were ever to be extracted. Because, the Anima and Sin Energy didn't just exist within their Sinful Organ and other independent containers anymore, it permeated their flesh and bones.

So, Apollo manipulating his Gula to extract the Ira from Arleo's body generated absurd amounts of pain. But, he couldn't scream out loud due to Apollo's tight grasp on his throat. Admittedly, it seemed this was Apollo's purpose for doing so.
