Chapter 93: Battling All Robbers

The leader of the robbers was the first to notice something was wrong, but it was already too late.

The talkative guy who attacked Apollo also felt something—a bone-chilling cold that made him stop just a few inches away from striking.

"What...!"

He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t. His body and mind started to go numb; his hands, legs, and mouth were all paralyzed by an unimaginable, chilling energy.

He started to panic when he saw Apollo’s cold eyes on him, making his soul tremble. He had never felt this powerless before. He was very afraid—they seemed to have messed with a terrifying enemy.

At this moment, the other robbers in the group also noticed that something was wrong. Seeing the man halt his assault in front of Apollo, they became alert.

"What happened? Why did you stop?" they asked.

But he didn’t answer or even move a finger, remaining standing like a statue, which caused a slight change in the expressions of the group of robbers.

They understood that something was very wrong here. Even the leader furrowed his brow upon seeing him, but they didn’t have to wait long for answers as he slowly walked towards them with a cold smile.

"So, who is going to tell me who you guys are working for and why you need corpses? This is the last time I’ll ask nicely. After this, you’ll experience something entirely different that you never want to experience in this life."

Apollo strolled towards the group of robbers with a calm and indifferent expression, as he was the one who surrounded them, not the other way around.

All of them felt a chill down their spines as Apollo’s aura was completely different from before. Even the leader, a first-rank limit-breaker, couldn’t help but tremble a little.

It was as if they weren’t talking to a person but were facing a natural calamity, and they felt tiny in front of him.

But none of them talked and remained silent until the leader of the robbers shouted, "Don’t be afraid! He is alone, and with me here, you will be alright."

After hearing this, the other robbers felt some confidence and jumped towards Apollo, attacking with all their might.

Apollo remained nonchalant about their decision. He took his simple, ordinary iron sword and faced the incoming attack of the robbers, looking forward to seeing what kind of strength they would show against his swordsmanship.

He had suppressed his strength to the level of someone who had opened nine prana circuits, as it was more interesting to fight humans using swordsmanship than wild, ferocious beasts.

When facing other humans, it’s not just about brute strength; it’s more about control and timing. This makes it a better training option, especially in life-and-death situations.

The robbers used different weapons: some wielded swords, others had daggers and spears, and one seemed to use a bow.

They all attacked at the same time, not wanting to give him a chance. But Apollo, with his ingenious movement, first dodged the arrow and then, with perfect control, countered the swords and spear attacks at close range.

He easily blocked all these attacks, including one from behind, where an assailant attacked like an assassin with a dagger. His timing was good, but Apollo had reached a stage where he had become one with his sword and blocked it effortlessly.

The leader didn’t make a move as he watched and assessed Apollo’s strength. He seemed to find good news in observing the battle: Apollo’s aura remained at a level below limit-breakers, suggesting they could still win despite his unbelievable sword mastery.

Apollo noticed this and guessed what the leader was thinking. He smiled, confident that the leader believed he could overpower him with his powerful life force and the strength of a first-rank limit-breaker.

Frankly, Apollo also wanted to know the outcome of the battle with his strength suppressed and relying solely on swordsmanship.

"Don’t stop! Attack him continuously; don’t give him time to think!" the leader shouted, rallying the group of robbers.

"Yeah! Yeah!"

All of them lunged like ferocious beasts with murderous intent, launching a barrage of attacks. The leader himself joined them.

He took his weapon from a space ring, surprising Apollo a bit. It was a big axe, clearly showing his expertise lay in power.

The leader moved with swift speed, attacking Apollo with his gigantic axe, filled with powerful momentum, while Apollo was occupied by the other robbers.

The others quickly backed off as the gigantic axe fell towards Apollo’s head. Facing this, Apollo showed no emotion but used his ordinary iron sword to gently deflect the powerful axe.

"What!"

Bang!

The axe missed its mark and crashed onto the ground, creating a small crater beside him.

The leader and the other robbers were shocked to see how easily he handled such a powerful attack without any problem as if it were nothing but child’s play.

The whole scene shocked all of them, including Reid, who watched from behind a tree. It appeared that Apollo wasn’t facing ferocious, murderous robbers but rather children unable to wield their weapons effectively.

The leader now wore a worsening expression. His proud attack had been deflected effortlessly, bringing shame to his reputation as a powerful limit-breaker.

Furious, he burst forth with a powerful aura, demonstrating the full strength of a limit-breaker. However, it didn’t affect Apollo, who stood calmly facing the ferocious aura. Apollo remained as serene as a frozen lake, unmoving.

The leader of the robbers attacked, jumping towards Apollo with a full murderous aura, intent on tearing him apart.

However, all his effort seemed to be in vain as Apollo, with simple movements and unbelievable power control, easily countered the devastating axe filled with mighty momentum.

Apollo moved with the grace of a Tai Chi master, effortlessly deflecting the powerful axe attacks with weaker strength.

His sword was simple, yet he rendered a powerful limit-breaker helpless, all while remaining on the defensive and never attacking once.

"Come on! What are you thinking? Attack or it will be our end."

The leader of the robbers understood that they couldn’t defeat the man before them, even if he wasn’t a limit-breaker. They needed to work together to survive this grave situation.

They all nodded, understanding the dangerous situation they were in, and attacked with all their might.

"Good, since you’ve all decided to bet your lives, as a generous person, I’ll grant that wish to each of you."

Apollo chuckled slightly, almost enjoying the challenge as they attacked him, staking their lives on the line. In response, he shifted to the offensive, his aura transforming from a calm, frozen lake to a ferocious avalanche.

His movements changed as every swing of his sword became lethal. He first lunged at the sneaky assassin who attempted sneak attacks. Even while facing multiple opponents, his sword pierced through and found its target, slashing the assassin’s neck.

"Aahh!"

Seeing one of them killed only made them more ferocious, especially the leader, who felt he was being toyed with by a young noble kid.

He seemed to lose his mind and unleashed a strange skill that sent him into a state similar to berserk, increasing his strength and speed many times over.

"Oh!"

Apollo became intrigued as the leader charged at him like a wild beast gone mad. His speed and power were greater than before, and every swing of his axe created roaring winds.

The other robbers quickly fled, unwilling to interfere in the battle, lest they get caught in the crossfire and perish.

Apollo took the attacks head-on, but this time, he felt a bit of difficulty as the power and speed of the leader had increased significantly. It became challenging to handle him at the mortal level.

But it finally brought him the pressure he wanted to feel in this battle. He smiled as he started to focus vigorously, trying to figure out how to overcome the leader’s speed and power with his swordsmanship.

Engrossed in his swordsmanship, all the techniques he had learned came to mind. He continuously filtered and discarded the useless parts, refining his skills to make them sharper and deadlier.

He started to understand the essence of all the things he learned in this week of training, and his swordsmanship became purer and purer, with a mysterious power in it.

Just as he felt he was getting closer to achieving his sword aura, the leader, in his berserk state, began to return to normal. His strength and speed diminished, possibly even becoming weaker due to the repercussions of using the skill.

And Apollo, who was in a trance, lost his high-pressure battle, causing him to break free from the mysterious state.

"Damn!"

He cursed, realizing how close he had been to achieving his sword aura. Because the robber leader couldn’t maintain his berserk state, Apollo lost such a great opportunity.

"I am going to kill you!" Apollo shouted, showing anger for the first time since the battle began.

He instantly appeared in front of the leader, who had become weaker from using the skill. The leader couldn’t even react as Apollo’s sword decapitated him, leaving him shocked until his death at how quickly and unexpectedly his death came.
