Master Aaron felt a wave of relief wash over him upon seeing Apollo safe and sound. Despite knowing his apprentice's exceptional abilities, the absence of Apollo on the battlefield filled him with unease. The sight of his young protégé brought a rare smile to his face.

"Don't worry about me, Master. Didn't you know how good I am? It's not easy for me to die," Apollo quipped, a confident grin on his face.

Aaron chuckled, clapping a hand on Apollo's shoulder. "I know, lad. But a master always worries."

Apollo could sense it—a shift in his aura, a sign that he had reached the half-step limit breaker stage. Soon, he would attempt to break through and become a true limit breaker, extending his lifespan significantly.
