Chapter 19: Increase in Strength
Since he found space treasure in this body, it means when this person was alive, he was not an ordinary person, and Apollo was glad that he took care of him quickly; otherwise, he did not know what would happen.
After that, he looked at other things which were also in the space ring. There were only two things: armour and a bow with a mysterious force in it.
The armour was in a similar condition to the first armour he got, but what made his eyes glow was the treasure bow he found with it.
The bow was silver-coloured with a crimson bowstring and had a chilling aura that made Apollo, who is resistant to cold shivers.
There was a mysterious aura within that bow which seemed to attract him, as the life energy inside him seemed to be shaking with eagerness. He wanted to swallow that energy.
He didn't wait, as he wanted to know his life energy was trembling with excitement, and he touched the bow that was releasing the soul's freezing chill. The instant he touched the bow, the life force within him started rioting and started to absorb the mysterious cold energy in it.
The mysterious energy travelled from body to vein to the prana circuits hidden in the body and started to slowly change his life energy from within.
His light blue-coloured life force slowly started to compress while becoming denser and clearer, with a slight silvery life force appearing inside.
But the change didn't stop there, as after his life, energy stopped compressing and instead burst out like a flood travelling throughout his body.
The outburst was so large that Apollo felt his body would explode, but with his strong and calm mind, he held himself as the life force flooded his body.
He felt everything in his body was breaking, but when he thought everything was done, the damaged organs and veins felt a new wave of energy, different from before it was gentle, and all the damage slowly began to heal.
This torturous situation of getting destroyed and healing continued for a few minutes, where he maintained an absolute concentration on his body. He was surrounded by a soul-freezing aura that was so cold that the surroundings around him instantly got covered in ice, causing the temperature to drop rapidly, and Apollo himself seemed to have frozen within.
Crack! Crack!
But slowly, the aura around him calmed down, and the ice around him started breaking, and finally, the ice that covered Apollo shattered.
Apollo opened his eyes, which now had a silvery glow, and the cold energy around them disappeared like it was never there before.
A smile appeared on his face as he felt the change in him.
"I didn't think I would get such a surprise."
He was feeling great, as that mysterious energy from the bow not only changed his life force but also helped him open a new prana circuit. Now, he had opened a total of five prana circuits, which increased his strength and helped him fully recover from his previous battle.
His physical strength and quantity of life energy increased by fifty per cent, which is a tremendous boost for him considering his situation of being trapped in a cemetery with body-snatching ghosts.
He did not fully understand how much his strength increased by the change in his Ice Life Force with the appearance of silver energy. But he was sure that his strength had increased quite a lot, and if he were to face his evil fake twin again, he was sure that it would not be as difficult as before and could finish him in a few seconds.
Not only that, it seemed now that he had made mysterious contact with the bow, which might have lost some of that mysterious energy, but he still felt it was a great weapon that increased his strength, especially his long-distance combat ability.
This increase in his strength increased his confidence in surviving this damm cemetery.
He did not wait anymore and walked deeper into the cemetery, where more dangers were waiting for him.
As he was moving and going deeper into the cemetery, he once again felt the same energy he felt when Mark's body was taken.
He instantly knew what it was, and he quickly moved in that direction, as it is better to kill those body snatchers before they get used to it; otherwise, it will be difficult to kill them.
He took out the bow and was going to use the thunderous method to destroy his enemies.
Apollo poured his ice life force into it to let it converge most of his power, and when, from afar, he saw a person standing and emitting large, weird death energy, he did not hesitate to pull the string.
When he pulled the string, the bow started to focus all his life force, and a silvery ice arrow started to appear that was emitting a terrifying chill, which was a bit unexpected.
The arrow was entirely different from an ordinary one; he felt its power was terrifying, as just standing close was making him feel such great horror that he was sure that if it was aimed at him, he would absolutely die.
He saw his target clearly, and without wasting more time, he fired the arrow.
The arrow was fast; it seemed to appear near the awakened soul snatcher, who also immediately felt the dangerous aura from that arrow.
But it was late, so he hastily tried to defend himself and take the arrow head-on, and he immediately burst out a powerful aura that instantly turned into a black cloak that could protect him.
The arrow also came with fast speed, and he expected his cloak to protect him, but what happened surprised him.
The arrow disappeared the moment it made contact with the energy cloak, which surprised him, but he immediately felt he was saved.
Suddenly, a look of horror appeared on his face as he wanted to say something, but from inside his body, a soul-freezing cold energy erupted that quickly took over his body, leaving him frozen and standing.
