senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he twisted his wrist and blocked the invisible blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's Shadow cancelled its invisibility and retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I thought, surprise attacks are useless against you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow maintained an emotionless face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It used its superior agility to attack Neo from different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks were perfectly timed and savage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one of them was aimed at Neo's vital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow disappeared into the debris with a swift movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It used the environment to hide itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint crackling echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo barely had time to react before the Shadow reappeared above him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He blocked with his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the force of the blow sent him skidding back and he nearly fell off the floating platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting against Arthur's Shadow was eerily similar to his fight against Lucas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this time, the Shadow wasn't relying on portals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was using pure speed and overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a gust of wind surged around Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His senses screamed danger and he rolled away without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beat later, a blade of air sliced through the space he'd been just standing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow disappeared again, leaving behind trails of black lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It used the floating wreckages to its advantage, slipping in and out of view, as it hid behind them, much like Lucas had done with his portals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo cursed under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he couldn't keep up with Shadow's speed for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Divine Energy was decreasing at a fearsome speed and Arthur's Shadow was nowhere close to being exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat dripped down Neo's brow as he dodged another barrage of strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow kept using quick attacks to drain his stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It knew Neo could not continue fighting for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to take the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After condensing his Aura of Death on the tip of the blade and stabbing it into the ground, he made it explode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arcs of red lightning burst into the surrounding with no rhyme and rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They killed whatever they touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air, the soil, the wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything started to crumble into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's Shadow had nowhere left to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo bolted towards the Shadow with an explosive speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their blades clashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged blows at a speed invisible to naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact sent shockwaves through the floating debris, but Neo held firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo needed to end this fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were peeled open, looking for even the slightest opening, while he parried one strike after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no opening in the Shadow's defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo would have to create one himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly launched himself backward and tried to put distance between him and the Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow sensed an opportunity and pressed for the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It launched a barrage of lightning and Air Bullet Spells to corner Neo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Neo wasn't retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was baiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Shadow could react, he stopped retreating and a massive power surged from his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo slashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around his blade distorted as it raced toward the Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the Shadow's eyes widened in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack was too close and too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade sliced through its neck without any resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no resistance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Shit!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo scanned his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't kill anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow in front of him was a 'mirage'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was created through a Magic Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When did the Shadow switch with a mirage?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo's senses rang, and before he could react, a dagger pierced his gas mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The translucent energy field covering his body shattered and the Shadow elementals stuck to his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's Shadow appeared only a bit far from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had thrown the dagger while Neo was distracted and, although he sensed the attack, he was not fast enough to dodge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo used Ocean's Embrace at full power and wrapped his body in Aura of Darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them combined reduced the shadow elementals seeping into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was only delaying the inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mask is your lifeline. You'll die without me doing anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo fell to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed his neck as if he couldn't breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's Shadow approached Neo and stabbed the dagger in Neo's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stared at Neo's corpse and the blood pouring out of the wound for a few second before turning around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Neo came back to life and he grabbed the Shadow's leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His injury stared to heal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used Necrotic Touch before Arthur's Shadow could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow's leg began to crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was forced to slice off its leg before its entire body crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you still alive!? I killed you just now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, you did kill me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow gritted its teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After losing one of its legs, it couldn't escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Neo, even if alive, had his mask destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could kill Arthur's Shadow before he died, but he would die too….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you completely fine?\" the Shadow asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo looked at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high density Shadow elementals should've killed him again after he used Immortal to revive himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was completely fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It can't be due to my bloodline.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even Zeus Clan's descendent can't stay in the Window's connected to World of lightning without proper gear.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's Shadow opened its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.
