Chapter 44 Shadows VS Owners

44 Shadows VS Owners

Fighting each other's shadows was much more risky than anything else for one simple reason: if for example Orasio died while fighting Stark's shadow, his shadow would die, resulting in Stark having to fight his shadow who still had much more HP than he had. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Basically... if one of them died before they could finish them, it was game over for both.

"COME AT ME, FAKE ORASIO," he shouted again and dashed toward the red-haired boy's shadow, it had his shield in hand, ready to block all the attacks.

"ALl-TImE BArRRiEr" it mimicked one of Orasio's skills, and when Stark tried to punch the guardian, he was met with a green sphere that took his attacks.

~PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH~

~CRACK~

In the momentum of his punches, a crack started forming around the sphere, meaning that he was in the right path to kill Orasio's shadow.

But of course, these things weren't dumb.

~FWISH~

The fake Orasio dashed at Stark while he was about to punch again, and...

"SWING!" it swung its shield at Stark, hitting him in the stomach, luckily for him though, he saw it coming thanks to focus and used his aura to protect the area that was targetted.

"-736!" it didn't do much damage since a shield couldn't do that much, but it still hurt.

Not wanting to give it a break though, Stark dashed at it again.

~CRACK~

The sphere was mosly cracked now, only a few more punches and it would be completely shattered.

But then something unexpected happened.

As Stark was about to deliver the finishing blow, Orasio's shadow deactivated [All-Time Protection].

'...?' Stark punched ,his fist full of aura.

"BLOCK!" The shadow raised its shield and placed it in front of Stark's attack.

Not seeing any reason to stop, Stark continued in his momentum.

~CLANG~

He hit the shield in full force, and of course it resulted in no damage being dealt to the shadow.

"OUCH!" Stark's arm burned as he came in contact with the shield.

"-361!" he was damaged for some reason.

...

[Skill: Block]

Knowing that Orasio's shadow wouldn't attack, he decided to observe how the red-hair was doing against himself.

Orasio was having a tough time, too.

Stark's shadow in comparison to Orasio's was actually the one initiating the attacks, perfectly copying his combat style.

Orasio used his shield to cast [All-Time Protection], but it would soon enough crack under the pressure of the punches.

And right when he used [Block], the skill the real Stark struggled against...

"-362! -436! - 572! -421! -479" Stark's shadow even though it received damage kept attacking, not caring as its HP was fairly high.

And of course, Orasio couldn't block forever, so in the end he had to remove his shield, and that's when he was punched.

"-2718!"

He was sent flying against one of the mirror walls, and many were destroyed again.

[Orasio HP: 482/3200]

Safe to say he was one hit away from being killed, Stark's shadow was just too aggresive for him.

"Ah shit..." Orasio fell to his knees, breathing hard as even though his HP hadn't dropped to zero, the damage was still a lot, "Didn't know Chosen could punch this hard..."

"Aura Smash!" in response, Stark's shadow punched the air twice in Orasio's direction, sending two crimson fists at him as it thought he wouldn't be able to block anymore.

But that was a big mistake, and it was one the real Stark would have never made, making obvious it was just a mere mimic.

"EXPLOSIVE SHIELD," Orasio threw his shield with so much force at the shadow Stark while it was using its skill that it didn't have time to dodge.

The shield burned with a bright fire and aura while it was flying toward the fake Stark in mid-air.

And then...

~BOOM~

"-8362!"

[Shadow Stark HP: 58/10000]

'It's my win,' Orasio smiled.
