But he is too normal for someone who took down an Anomaly,\" Emma said. \"There is nothing noteworthy about him except his mastery of Darkness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope he is okay,\" Apollo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being out of visible range, he could sense Neo's position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo was having a hard time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a groan sounded behind Apollo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and looked at Kane, who was unconscious but writhing on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still think Neo should've done it like Kane.
