"I wouldn't say I tanked the attack," Apollo muttered while coughing blood.
He tried to hide he was in a vision and collect information at the same time.
"Where is that guy?" Apollo asked, trying not to give himself away. "He used such a powerful attack to damage me. It must've weakened him. We can use this chance to—"
"It was me."
Neo cut off Apollo's words and placed his sword at his neck.
"I was the one who attacked you."
"…!?"
His confusion was clear to Neo.
"So this is a vision."
Instead of beheading Apollo, he sheathed his sword.
Apollo was shocked when Neo realized they were in Apollo's vision.
It proved Neo always knew his trait.
"Why are you attacking me!? Why?" Apollo shouted, aghast.
"Because you wanted me to stop from saving the Child of Mana—"
Neo suddenly stopped speaking.
He raised his head and looked at the sky.
The noise of thunderclaps echoed faintly.
