The leader of the robbers was the first to notice something was wrong, but it was already too late.
The talkative guy who attacked Apollo also felt something—a bone-chilling cold that made him stop just a few inches away from striking.
"What...!"
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't. His body and mind started to go numb; his hands, legs, and mouth were all paralyzed by an unimaginable, chilling energy.
He started to panic when he saw Apollo's cold eyes on him, making his soul tremble. He had never felt this powerless before. He was very afraid—they seemed to have messed with a terrifying enemy.
At this moment, the other robbers in the group also noticed that something was wrong. Seeing the man halt his assault in front of Apollo, they became alert.
"What happened? Why did you stop?" they asked.
But he didn't answer or even move a finger, remaining standing like a statue, which caused a slight change in the expressions of the group of robbers.
