Risks

Katelina was shocked when she received the news that Apollo had succeeded in purifying the green dragon. What surprised her even more was that the dragon, now freed from darkness, had followed Atlas back to the palace as he carried Apollo's unconscious body.

Without hesitation, she turned to Levi. "Connect with the dragon," she instructed firmly. "We may need its energy to stabilize Apollo."

Levi nodded and left to carry out her orders with Asura accompanying him. Meanwhile, Katelina wasted no time and hurried to the chamber where Apollo had been taken.

When she entered, the sight before her made her chest tighten. Apollo lay motionless on the bed, his face pale, his body visibly weakened. The toll of purifying the dragon was evident. He had pushed himself far beyond his limits. 

Katelina's heart sank. He should have known the risks, yet he had still gone through with it.
