69 Revelation of Annihilation
'----'

'Closing his eyes

Apollo widened his stance as the staff against his body exuded a visible tremble. The incursion of his body's irregular Natural Essence stimulated an immediate reaction from the weapon. As a result

his momentum increased. Potent crimson wisps escaped the staff but they soon circled it.'

Danyul

and Ashur remained shocked. Based on the fluctuations from his body

it was clear he was utilizing Natural Essence!'

'However

to do so required the use of a Martial Art! In other words

he had gotten his hands on one; but how could that be so? He had left the residence before he could even receive one. Did he happen to chance upon a fortuitous encounter in this forest? If that was the case

then his luck was not to be underestimated.'
