Chapter 273: Apollo

A sound of thunder erupted, followed by a shockwave that blew the surroundings; the ground was torn up, creating a cloud of smoke that obscured visibility.

"I guess you aren't just relying on your weapon to fight," Apollo commented, seeing how Nero was able to block his last attack without being pushed back.

From above, a giant crater can be seen, and at the center of it are two individuals dueling at the torn ground beneath them, which began to be covered in flames.

Apollo has been executing the swordsmanship he learns from Mahika, not letting his opponent form his attack. He plans to completely overwhelm him before disarming Nero away from his weapon. However, despite his initial advantage at the start, the sword's might is still too hard to challenge, especially with Nero slowly adapting to Apollo's fighting style.
