Eventually, Apollo and Fuhrer landed before the gates of Guloria's central city, which, unlike Firaria, remained nameless due to the abundance of cities in this Ring. However, just like Firaria, there was an entrance fee. Except, the price of this particular place was exorbitant even in Apollo's eyes.
The gatekeeper raised their hand, barring Apollo and Fuhrer from entering this place. Unsurprisingly, Fuhrer saw this action as disrespectful. While he could tolerate being stopped due to the rules put in place, he couldn't accept the gatekeeper raising their hand to Apollo's face.
As a result, his hand subconsciously reached towards Brynhildr's hilt. It was done so fast that the gatekeeper failed to sense Fuhrer's movement despite being at the peak of the Archdemon state.
