Chapter 392: Michelles' Might

"Roger."

Michelle quickly took over Dun's job as the latter retreated only to create a barrier to prevent any attacks from the three beasts toward the soldiers.

However, he still couldn't understand why he arranged for Michelle to fight against the wildebeest.

In fact, only Michelle and Kai came to this place. There were no other people other than the soldiers.

"Are you sure she can handle the beast alone? They can use magic, you know." Dun shouted.

"I am well aware. I have been listening to your conversation and preparing myself here. Just trust her…" Kai shrugged as he focused on his own task.

"It seems that you are not convinced with my ability." Suddenly, Michelle's voice resounded despite her not opening her mouth. Yes, it was the Dark Michelle.

She leaped to the wildebeest's head while looking down on them.

The wildebeest charged the lightning again before using it on himself. With his body covered in lightning, Michelle shouldn't be able to get close to him, albeit everything was just an illusion for the wildebeest.

The two Michelles stepped on Dun's barrier while looking at the giant body.

"It's going to break our Shadow Slash." The Dark Michelle easily confirmed that their attack wouldn't be effective against this beast. "Do you mind if I go berserk?"

"That's the only thing we can do, I guess." Michelle sighed. "I will support you."

"Fufu. I am the shadow of your heart…To think I will be stronger. Maybe you have a stronger darker side in your heart…"

"A shadow…That's true. But who said that darkness is bad while the light is good." Michelle closed her eyes with a smile.

"Hehe…" The Dark Michelle smirked before waving her hand, shouting. "I and Michelle love you, Kai!"

"Stop! Can't you just do it already?!" Michelle rebuked her with a tinge red on her cheeks. To think she would say something this embarrassing in front of this many people and on this occasion.

Kai chuckled and waved his hand. He answered with a gentle smile. "I know. Can you finish the wildebeest for me?"

The Dark Michelle cracked her hands as she smirked. "Of course. It will be over in an instant."

Michelle tried to calm her heart down while jumping off the barrier and placing her hand on the ground. "Shadow Possession. Shadow Avatar."

The Dark Michelle smiled and leaped to the air as she retracted her sword.

"If I can't cut you with a small weapon, then I just need to increase its size!"

Michelle summoned a magic circle as a dark stripe popped out of her back, moving toward the Dark Michelle's back.

Suddenly, four giant scythes came out of the Dark Michelle's back. Each scythe looked sharp and big enough to cut the wildebeest's giant neck.

"Now, let's the hunt begin."

The lightning spread around, striking the Dark Michelle from all directions.

On the contrary, Dark Michelle simply floated in the air, using the scythe that seemed to be capable of flying.

When she calculated all the lightning around her, she used the other three scythes to cut them down in the order of the closest range.

"Puny lightning. Even if the lightning can brighten the night, it can't replace the darkness. Know your place, Beast." Dark Michelle looked down on the wildebeest and sent two scythes to both horns.

It quickly charged the lightning again to blast the scythe, but it was when Dark Michelle released the third scythe.

The scythe pierced the lightning bolt, destroying it in an instant. However, the scythe also got obliterated by the explosion coming from the clash.

Luckily, the other two scythes managed to cut both horns.

Roar.

The wildebeest was angered and stomped its foot on the ground, creating a tremor followed by lightning to the surroundings.

"No, you won't break this barrier anymore." Dun appeared and stopped the lightning that came toward the soldiers while letting the rest hit the magical beasts.

This movement was so big that even allowed Dark Michelle to slip past its defense and floated next to its giant body.

"You can't hit me with all that lightning." Dark Michelle smirked while raising her hand toward the beast as the two scythes cut the body.

Still, the hardness from the beast's skin was extraordinary. Despite cutting it with her full power, she couldn't fully penetrate its defense.

"Hmm, you are hard, but every living being will have a weakness. I will just find it now." Dark Michelle said while flying around the beasts while cutting it.

As expected, it was hard to find it until two minutes later, she coincidentally cut the head area where she found the perfect place to slash. It was the neck.

Noticing that Michelle would kill him, the wildebeest glared at the real one. If it could kill the real one, the one that attacked him all this time would surely disappear.

It released another lightning bolt as lightning struck forth, heading straight to Michelle.

"Oi, oi." Dun sweatdropped and planned to help her, but Michelle's face remained calm as she summoned ten black walls from the ground, each grew in size.

The lightning broke the wall one by one, stopping only after reaching the sixth wall.

This was Michelle's new manipulation. After reaching the perfect manipulation, she could reinforce her shadow, which significantly boosted her strength. In fact, Michelle might be the strongest one among the girls right now.

"Oh, this cute little beast has yet to understand what it means to fight against us." The Dark Michelle smiled. "Let me tell you something, the string behind our back is connecting us directly. This kind, cute side of me reads your movement, and the beautiful, strong side acts on that. And the speed of our mental link and transfer is less than 0.01 seconds because…We are one."

The Dark Michelle smiled and next to the wildebeest. The three scythes turned into a guillotine that could go up and down. The last scythe was used as the blade from above.

Meanwhile, Michelle appeared on the lower part as she swung both her swords, using the two pillars that supported the guillotine as a foundation for her Shadow Slash.

"Shadow Slash."

"Executioner."

The scythe cut the beast's neck from above while the two Shadow Slashes cut it from below. The beast had no chance to endure it with its current condition.

"Fufu, because we are one." The Dark Michelle chuckled as she landed on the ground.

"You talked too much." Michelle harrumphed. She recalled what happened two months ago.

…

Inside her room, she was still struggling to perfect her own shadow. After all, her current shadow state was just like Michelle and her shadow. If she could perfect this, she could proudly claim that they were two Michelles.

The reason why she was on the floor, gasping for air, was due to the unpleasant feeling in her heart that wrenched her heart.

Suddenly, she felt a movement on her heart as a shadow manifested before her, shapeshifting into her.

"This is a body…"

As if a voice crying out from the darkness of despair, the shadow held a few similarities to that of the real one. First, it would be the feeling of her family. There were only fun memories inside the family because they never forced her to do anything or turned her into a political marriage tool.

The second one…The most important one, Kai.

It was when she realized that the shadow was the same as her.

Though they were the same, the Dark Michelle kept all the unpleasant things she had buried all this time. Even though it wasn't madness or anything, she carried it all.

…

Michelle couldn't contain her smile when recalling that. "Thank you for your help."

"Hehe…I am good, right?" The Dark Michelle raised two fingers while making a big smile.

"Yeah, yeah. Albeit you talk too much."

"Promise me…I get a date with Kai and let me control the body sometimes."

"Got it." They were connected. Just like the Dark Michelle could understand what she was thinking, she could understand her feelings.

Confronted by such a genuine feeling, she had no choice but to agree.

'Yes, this girl is not evil, just tactless.' She thought.

The Dark Michelle heard it as well and complained out loud. "And I'll have sex with Kai!"

"You! Don't you try anything funny! And what the heck are you saying in front of these many people!"

"Fine, fine." The Dark Michelle released its own power to return to Michelle's body. "I will let things with him go with the flow because I am you. Fufu, there are still more than fifty years."

"Just go back!" Michelle was stressed by her before letting out a long sigh.

"This is why I hate students!" Brad roared as he pierced the torrential wind from the falcon. He gripped the spear as tight as possible because it would get blown away, meaning that he lost, so despite the bleeding on his palm, he kept piercing the wind until he broke through.

Unfortunately, he lost his spear during the exchange, but it didn't stop him from attacking the falcon.

He punched the falcon right on its face before bringing it down to the ground with him. The falcon retaliated by flapping its wings a few times, but none of it mattered to Brad. Even though his body got injured by all the wind, he kept doing it until he pinned the falcon on the ground.

"This is over, you bastard." Brad snorted as he summoned a magic circle beneath the falcon's body.

"Ice Gungnir."

A few spear-shaped ice spikes appeared and pierced the falcon, killing it in an instant.

Brad took a deep breath after confirming the falcon's death. "You won't be able to kill me in one on one battle."
