Chapter 7: The weight of a chef.
'' I challenge you as a chief of the GOR tribe! I'm going to do the honor to die with my own hands. ''
'' I accept your duel. I'm going to make you regret your men and your men for having sprained the floor in our village. ''
The two men were observed while exerting strong pressure with the mana flow which they released.
Time seemed to have frozen on this battlefield.
Whether they are Yorken soldiers or those of the Gor tribe, all had their attention riveted on this duel confronting two monsters of power.
Sarah also felt this stifling pressure.
She was almost comparable to that of Shaka she confronted in the Dungeon hall.
She clenched her fruust fists in the face of her helplessness.
She who had the ambition to avenge the inhabitants of her island was far from the necessary level to accomplish this task.
'' Before I start the fight, I would like to know one thing about you. '' Said Shadow.
'' What ? '' Replied the chief of the tribe with distrust.
"What's your name? ''
'' Do you want to know my name? ''
'' Yes. I would like to know the name of my next victim. ''
The head of the Gor tribe gave a laugh and then resumed his firm gaze.
"You are a comic you. But hey, as head of our two armies I have to introduce myself to you. I'm Douzou head of the Gor tribe, the most powerful man on this island. And with my own hands I will end your life. ''
This time, it was Shadow's turn to laugh.
'' Douzou chief of the Gor tribe, your head is mine! ''
Shadow suddenly hit the ground with his foot to support it and go for Douzou.
He drew his sword from a rapid movement and struck in the direction of his opponent.
Douzou disappeared at the time of the attack and Shadow cut in the void.
Shadow surprised by his failure felt Douzou's presence behind his back.
'' It's been finished for you! ''
Douzou attacked him with all his might with his ax.
Shadow having felt his presence at the last moment turned around in time and contrasts the attack with his sword.
But the coup de Douzou was so powerful that he was violently projected.
'' Aaaaaah! ''
Douzou gave a cry full of rage carrying with him all the fervor of his men who also began to shout with joy.
On the Yorken side, no one panicked but their confidence had been slightly shaken.
After all, they had just seen their eyes their lieutenant was violently rejected.
'' He pushed Lieutenant Shadow in a single time ... '' said a soldier Yorken who attended the scene.
'' Lieutenant Shadow ... ''
Shadow got up easily in the middle of the rubble where he had landed.
He had just been violently pushed back in a single stroke and yet he always had that full of assurance on his face.
'' Is that all you can? You have in your best interest in killing me because otherwise your men, women and children in this village will follow you in the grave in atrocious suffering. '' Said Shadow.
Douzou frowned and his anger amplified.
He suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Shadow and attacked him again with all his might.
Shadow para the blow of his ax with his sword and solicited the muscles of his legs to avoid being repelled.
Douzou was surprised by the resistance opposed by Shadow.
He attacked him again with all his might but Shadow contrasts him again.
Frustrated, Douzou chained several shots with his ax but each of his attacks was counter without Shadow moving in one thumb.
'' I repeat it to you. Give yourself to kill me or otherwise everyone will die tonight. '' Said Shadow with a sly smile.
Shadow's words plunged Douzou in very great anger.
He firmly grabbed his ax and covered him with his mana. Then, he struck in the direction of Shadow by targeting his neck.
"Dies! '' He shouted.
The blade of his ax came closer to Shadow's neck, which did not try to defend itself.
As the blade of Douzou's ax was about to get in touch with her flesh, she suddenly stopped.
Suddenly flabbed blood and Douzou's arm grabbing the ax fell to the ground.
Douzou's arm had suddenly been decided without Shadow moving in one thumb.
Douzou looked at his arm with dismay. He did not have time to react that it was his second arm to fall to the ground.
'' Chief ... '' said a soldier from the tribe despair.
The Yorken soldiers feeling the victory of their lieutenant at hand began to shout with joy.
'' Go lieutenant killed the! ''
'' What did you do to me? How is it possible that I could lose when I dominated you completely? You didn't even attacked me. So how could I receive so much damage?! ''
Shouted Douzou of frustration.
He knew that in his current state, he had no chance of beating his opponent.
He even left a few tears, thinking about what would happen to his men after his death.
His state mentally weaken the men who were fighting alongside him.
Some of them had resigned themselves to fighting. They melted in tears knowing their inevitable death.
'' My name is Shadow. Do you know what this name means on the continent? It simply means Shadow. My Lord did not give me this nickname by chance, but because it has a relationship with my power. ''
'' ... ''
'' You therefore had no way to see my attacks coming because it came from my shadow. ''
'' Your shadow ...? ''
'' I can use my own shadow to attack my opponents without him noticing something. This is one of my abilities. ''
Shadow was stolen from Douzou in the air and grabbed him in the air.
He brandished his head as a trophy so that anyone on the battlefield could see him.
'' Me Shadow Lieutenant of the powerful army of the Yorken, I killed with my own hands Douzou the chief of the tribe. Victory is for us! ''
Crees of joy made heard.
The Yorken had won the battle when their lieutenant had taken the lead of the enemy commander.
"Now, what are we going to do with you? ''
Shadow mumped this sentence with a large smile by turning his gaze on the survivors of the enemy army.
