That's the limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is right,\" Apollo said and thought, 'The only exception to the soul-splitting rule is Emma. It is her trait's ability. The Necromancer shouldn't be able to do anything similar.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reassured himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, a nagging feeling remained in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the Necromancer had a similar trait to Emma?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, that's impossible.

Every Trait is unique.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forcefully ignored the thoughts and focused on the issue at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what's the plan?\" Emma asked. \"I can fight, but I doubt you want me to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. You are our last choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane frowned, unable to understand Apollo's choice of words. Apollo noticed his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emma and the Necromancer are both Dark element users. If they clash, their residual energies will corrupt the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spain will become barren for years—decades—if the Necromancer is strong enough to force Emma to use her full strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a breath and continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll summon Sunshine. Sunshine's holy light will weaken the Necromancer and the monsters greatly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What after that?\" Emma questioned. \"Don't tell me you are planning to attack with Sunshine. We aren't here to pulverize the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll weaken the Necromancer as much as possible and hold him down with Sunshine. It will buy enough time for Athena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She can prepare her strongest attack and defeat the Necromancer with one shot,\" Apollo explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the phylactery?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sunshine can use Holy Wave to take care of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmm…. Not a bad plan. It's simple and direct,\" Emma held her chin, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollo turned to the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The plan is good. However, the fact remains that if I summon Sunshine above Spain, the place will be permanently affected by the Spirit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that a good thing?\" Kane asked. \"If the Spirit can radiate holy light passively, it will purify the dark energies that have corrupted Spain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not everyone will think the same. People wouldn't like to live underneath a living sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like having a nuclear warhead dangling above you at all times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I would also be worried if I had to live in those conditions,\" Kane nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining his plan, Apollo drew the battle strategy on the ground with a stick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't we and Neo going to help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You won't participate in this battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the job of the Association; we can't ask for your help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, you two are already busy with Anomaly #79.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane nodded with a downcast expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been doing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the technique was yet to be completed since he wanted to create something that would become Neo's trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's do a vote. Should we fight with Sunshine or not?\" Apollo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm in,\" Emma pitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Athena said and didn't elaborate any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollo didn't ask why she said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wanted to explain, she would've done it already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no use hounding Athena for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you two?\" he stared at Neo and Kane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kane turned to Neo, his face saying he would choose whatever Neo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a different proposal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apollo wasn't surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo had been silent since the start.
