The dark green insects swarmed Apollo, who responded by swinging his bokken. His swings were gradually becoming light, yet faster.
Small arcs of lightning danced in the air, seemingly everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Apollo was able to kill numerous dark green insects. However, a few still slipped by him. In particular, was the arm that wielded the bokken. After all, he would have to change his grip on the bokken to hit that location.
Apollo could greatly minimize the damage he took if he focused on slashing normally, but he couldn't ignore the insects gnawing on his arm, as losing the muscles on his arm would spell doom.
Yet, trying to slash his arm with his bokken would also spell doom.
...Wait, why did he have to use his bokken?
Apollo had a hand that was completely free, ready to attack, but didn't take advantage of it. It wasn't like he hadn't used his hand as a sword before.
