Crushing Archdemons

'Even though I spent time familiarizing myself with this technique, it was something I didn't wish to use so early on,' Apollo thought as the surrounding atmosphere became still. The terrifying aura undulating from Apollo's body in waves even deactivated the Devouring Nebula.

But, Apollo's Cardinal Sphere throbbed painfully, indicating a monstrous consumption of his aura. In his current state, even after activating the effects of the title and accepting his bloodline, Apollo could barely support the overbearing expenditure of the Fourth Annihilation.

In fact, the presence of these two advantages was the only reason Apollo could activate this technique as a Greater Demon. After all, aside from the first three Annihilations, every two subsequent Annihilations required an even higher evolution.
