"20, 21, 22..."
Su Xiao was counting the time. If he was off by even one second, Apollo might explode in his hands or be thrown too early.
If this had been a few Derivative Worlds ago, Su Xiao would never have dared use Apollo like this. The Apollo he made back then had not been as stable as it was now. With the current Apollo set to explode after thirty seconds, it would never be off by even 0.1 seconds.
"28."
When he counted to twenty-eight, Su Xiao had already assumed a throwing stance. At the same time, the Battle Armor Spirit's gaze turned toward the stone corridor, its focus fixed on Su Xiao's position.
The Battle Armor Spirit was puzzled. At the instant it hesitated, a red sphere flew out of the pitch-black stone corridor at incredible speed.
Boom!
Broken stones flew from beneath the Battle Armor Spirit's feet as it charged straight toward Apollo. It had already found the source of the danger.
Both of the Battle Armor Spirit's arms were wrapped in energy. It relied entirely on its body to fight, using most of the energy within it to protect its arms and hands. This made it fearless of enemies wielding sharp weapons.
The Battle Armor Spirit's sprint was so fast that afterimages appeared. In almost an instant, it had reached Apollo and stretched out to grab it.
Apollo's volume swelled explosively, expanding from the size of an apple to a diameter of five meters. It was like a Miniature Sun.
The Battle Armor Spirit suddenly stopped where it was. Its previously leaning-forward body arched backward, its legs bent, and it launched itself backward with all its strength.
The circular open area was a sealed environment. In such a place, Apollo's power would only become stronger.
