Apollo felt there was some movement from beneath the debris. He immediately became alert, as he didn't know what it would be this time.
Szzz! Boom!
All the debris was sent flying, and from beneath it, a person appeared in a banged-up state. He had wounds all over his body and was covered in blood.
He seems to be taking deep breaths with difficulty; frankly, Apollo was surprised that in such bad condition, he was still able to stand straight. His face was also a little weird; there seemed to be two small horns growing on his forehead, which made him doubt whether this person was human or not.
But he should be quite strong, as even in such a bad state, he still felt this person's strength.
More importantly, he doesn't remember seeing someone like him before among those hijacked group.
When Apollo was looking at the weird guy, Lord Shadow Shaper was also looking at him with a confused face because he could not understand how he was still alive after the great god himself looked at him.
He knows almost everything that happened here because he is the mysterious Lord Shadow Shaper, who awakened the legendary god but was caught in the space storm due to an accident. Space storms are calamities that mean certain death for warriors.
But somehow he survived this certain death situation by paying some price.
Because he was in bad condition, he could not maintain his previous cool, eerie, powerful look as a shadow shaper.
Right at the moment, he was in an extremely vulnerable state.
Although he wanted to kill the kid in front of him, his condition didn't allow it.
"Damm it, where the god disappeared."
"The plan seemed to have failed."
He was murmuring, looking at Apollo with killing intent, while Apollo was still trying to figure out who he was, but he wouldn't expect the person ahead to be the mysterious shadow shaper who created the whole mess.
Right at the moment, his life force was entirely different, like he was another person because of Apollo, whose sharp senses could not recognize him.
But he was still alert of this person. As he looked, he suddenly felt malicious intent from this guy, wondering what to do with this person.
He had a feeling that if he didn't take care of him now, he would save himself from many troubles.
But just this thought came into his mind; it took deep root, and immediately, he made up his mind to do it, as right now, he had the best chance. This person is seriously injured, and his strength has increased exponentially.
"Wait a minute, did I become indifferent towards life?"
Feeling his thoughts of killing just as he feels troublesome seems a bit aggressive. He is not a psychopath, but after the change, he seems to feel his mindset has slightly changed.
He became more cold, and his emotions seemed to become dim. Although it is not much, it is still a change.
Perhaps he should comprehend how much this person witnessed and knows about what happened here, as well as the individual's identity. After that, he should decide what to do with this guy.
Their gazes met each other, and Apollo was the first to ask, "Who are you, and why are you here?"
After saying this, his hands quickly moved down and came on the sword sheath, indicating his intention to 'answer his questions carefully'.
Lord Shadow Shaper's expression changed as he heard Apollo's question. He felt angry and couldn't believe that a kid would threaten him, 'the Great Lord Shadow Shaper', a kid who can be trampled under his feet.
But right now, he was in really bad shape, with less than ten per cent of his strength, and the brat ahead of him was not an ordinary kid.
He didn't know how he survived until now, but being able to do this is already a big achievement. So, although he is still a brat, he might not be trash.
Not only that, but his body is in very bad condition; if he tries to force himself to fight, his condition might get worse, and he might die.
He was in a very embarrassing dilemma, being threatened by a kid. If others find out, he will become the laughingstock of the whole cult. How could a high-ranking leader, a great lord, lose his face like this? He might even lose his position because of this. He would rather kill this brat and torture his soul, even if his condition worsens because of this.
Seeing that the person ahead didn't seem to answer his questions, Apollo understood that this person might be the problem.
Both of them, at the moment, made their mind to kill each other, and they didn't hide it.
Apollo felt he was in an advantageous situation, whereas Shadow Shaper felt, that even if his condition might get worse, he still should be able to take care of a small noble kid.
Both of them were ready to make their move. Shadow Shaper was first as his hand glowed with a weird runic circle above him, surprising Apollo, who, seeing this, became serious and charged with unmatched speed, almost like teleporting, appearing on the other side of him.
"What!"
Shadow Shaper was shocked when he saw Apollo's instantaneous speed burst. He was caught by surprise speed, as even he thought this kid would be strong for his age, but this speed had surpassed the age group and reached the Enlightened Master Level.
It is an entirely different level from rookie-level strength.
