Inside the Archaic Ira Ruins…
Apollo's expression underwent a drastic change after the system revealed Fuhrer's information. At first, he thought it would only display his current stats, but Apollo underestimated the use of the Demon Monarch System's 6th level.
He wasn't aware of it, but the system was near completion because it only possessed eight levels. However, what followed the awakening of the 8th level was still unknown, just as the creator was.
'You've got to be kidding . Are these the paraters of a Daemos at the zenith of that state?' Apollo muttered in astonishnt. His eyes widened as he marveled at the information of Fuhrer.

...
At most, Fuhrer could only draw upon 3% of his power, yet his statistics put the current demons in Apollo's possession to sha. Not to ntion, although he was an individual with a berserk bloodline, his attributes were balanced, with a slight favor towards strength and agility.
However, that was to be expected since most berserk bloodlines used vitality as a source to amplify these two combat aspects.
Without a doubt, Apollo knew a spar against Fuhrer could only be done while using a weapon. All of Fuhrer's attributes were higher than his. Apollo's stigmata were stronger than Fuhrer's, but they consud a constant supply of his Ira.
Therefore, he glanced towards Ouroboros. "Refill my Ira Reserves, Boross"
"Yessss," Ouroboros hissed before sinking his fangs into Apollo's neck.
Imdiately, Apollo's eyes widened as they surged with a crimson glow. A stream of ssages appeared within his view as his Diabolic Heart experienced a significant influx of Ira.
Apollo didn't expect the surge to be so quick because he didn't know that Ouroboros's bite increased the flow of his Ira to finish off the infusion within a short tifra.
Ouroboros retracted his fangs within seconds as Apollo's body surged with Ira, indicating his refilled Sin Vessel. Apollo clenched his fist as his Iraym Form strengthened.
In the next mont, his Infernal Ira Stigmata thrumd with power as Apollo created so distance between him and Fuhrer. "You don't need to take it easy at all. Treat as a genuine opponent."
"Are you sure about that?" Fuhrer replied with an arched brow. Although he wasn't planning to hold back, he wasn't planning on treating Apollo as a genuine opponent, either. He rely wanted to gauge Apollo's true strength.
"Certain," Apollo nodded as a dark gold hue emitted from his spine. His Dauntless Vertebrae released a steady stream of Superbia throughout his body. Unlike before, his Cardinal Sphere pulsated just before the two Sins collided.
Instantly, the pulse forced the Sins to remain in place.
anwhile, Apollo's form remained unchanged. It was neither his Iraym nor Suprana Form. Instead, it was a form that made Fuhrer's eyes widen in shock.
"L-Lord Astraval?" Fuhrer muttered but soon caught himself while shaking his head. It was a montary lapse in judgnt, but seeing Apollo adopt the form that ca with his bloodline overwheld Fuhrer for a mont.
'I should've expected that his original demonic form would return after awakening his bloodline,' Fuhrer internalized while placing his hand on the hilt of Brynhildr.
Similarly, Apollo raised his hand towards Typhir, which caused Gram to vibrate and shoot into his palm. "I'm ready."
"Likewise," Fuhrer said as his body released a mysterious aura that blended with the void seamlessly. Now that Apollo was aware of Fuhrer's traits, he understood what this aura was. It was Fuhrer's Void Imrsion that allowed his body to blend with the void with no faults.
This trait was the foundation of his Void Shuttling technique.
In spite of Fuhrer's actions, Apollo imdiately went on the offensive. Two majestic dragon-like wings unfurled behind Apollo's back as he rushed towards Fuhrer at mind-boggling speeds. Compared to the earlier presentation of his wings, they were much smaller now since they weren't suitable for combat in that state.
Regrettably, by the ti Apollo's sword t Fuhrer's possession, he only bisected a phantom image. Fuhrer had already stepped inside of the void, shuttling around on a circular axis.
Fuhrer didn't navigate far from his initial position since he was testing his perception. One thing Apollo needed to possess was overwhelming sharp sense. Thus, Fuhrer wanted to know how acute his senses were.
But, Apollo didn't use a conventional thod to locate Fuhrer. He conjured a black sphere in his palm before crushing it an instant later, sending an overwhelming aura spiraling outward. The aura found Fuhrer's initial void entry location in an instant.
A mont later, the aura burrowed into the void and caused the entrance to crumble at a visible rate. Since using his perception to find Fuhrer took too much ti, Apollo opted for the thod of brute force.
'Oh? Is the young Lord trying to crumble this void channel and force out? Unfortunately for the young Lord, I have several ways of employing the void for my use,' Fuhrer thought.
Suddenly, many branching void channels appeared, forcing Apollo's aura to spread over innurable branching paths until its effect beca minimal.
Apollo realized this instantly since a link remained between his aura and the Cardinal Sphere. As long as it was within a specific range, it delivered feedback.
Eventually, Fuhrer's action caused Apollo to chuckle.
A terrifyingly sharp aura billowed from Apollo's body. He slashed Gram horizontally, causing a colorless arc of demonic energy infused with an abnormal energy to surge toward the void's entrance.
Whereas his first actions only used his Aura of Domination, Apollo infused so of his Tenebrous ability into the Nether Severance, creating an attack with the ability to sever the void itself!
Fuhrer's expression finally changed as he ejected himself from the void with an amused chuckle, "Not bad. You're becoming more intuitive in your movents. Very well, I shall show you sothing." Ait's just a sha that I'm
Following Fuhrer's word, Apollo sensed a change in the surrounding area. A number of void entrances appeared around him.
"You said to treat you like a genuine opponent. So, I'll show you the technique that made feared on the battlefield," Fuhrer exclaid before disappearing imdiately after.
When he reappeared, there were six other copies of himself, operating the second baleful step at maximum efficiency. Then, all of his mirages entered the void while their location shifted to form a perfect do around Apollo.
Apollo's eyes narrowed once the positions of the voids shifted. 'What is he up to?'
Regardless, Apollo readied himself by pointing Gram forward with a focused expression. Apollo pushed his perception to its limits as he tried to sense Fuhrer's subsequent actions.
Since Fuhrer was an opponent of unforeseen attack thods, Apollo had to tap into his imagination. His Languished Perception activated as his eyes shifted between the voids rapidly.
However, although everything moved slower in his eyes, all Apollo saw was a black flash when one of Fuhrer's mirages appeared from within a void.
Whoosh! Ting!
Apollo stepped back, narrowly dodging a slash from the first mirage when a second one appeared, causing him to change the angle of Gram's width. Although it was a re mirage, the weight behind the attack felt real.
After all, when pushed to its pinnacle, the second baleful step was a ga-changer
Fortunately, Apollo was beginning to realize this as he shifted his body at a ridiculous rate, yet still received damage from Fuhrer's attacks.
How was he supposed to handle this attack when Fuhrer's mirages appeared from one void and disappeared into another after initiating a strike?
Because of the speed and trajectory of the attacks, it felt like Apollo was dealing with 14 opponents and not 7.
Consequenly, Apollo used the Umbra Phantom Mantle as well. However, the disparity in their mastery was imdiately noticed. Whereas Fuhrer instantly sumd 6 mirages, it took Apollo a few seconds just to summon 3!
"Don't worry lad. I'm far from done!" Fuhrer chuckled.
Boom!
Apollo's feet sunk in the ground as an overbearing pressure bore down on him, suppressing his movents.
