Chapter 93: Serious Fight
Fin lunged forward, dark energy crackling around his fist as he aimed for the Commander’s shadowy form. But Dan simply twisted away, the attack passing through empty air as he flickered back several feet.
Dan’s laughter echoed through the clearing, a cold sound that sent shivers crawling up Scarlet’s spine.
"So the little King can grip a blade," his voice rippled with cruel amusement. "Impressive party trick. But that’s all it is." The shadows comprising his form seemed to stretch taller, wider, filling more of the space between them. "King Kain rules seven domains, commands legions that would make your blood freeze. His glory extends beyond—"
"Blah, blah, blaaaah," Fin cut in, rolling his eyes. "Sheesh, all this glazing about your boss. You his boyfriend or something?"
The shadows around Dan’s form pulsed violently, the temperature in the clearing dropping several degrees. Scarlet bit back a startled laugh, wincing as her ribs protested. ’Did he just...? Oh man, taunting the scary shadow dude. Bold strategy.’
"You DARE?" The Commander’s voice distorted with rage, the words barely recognizable through the fury. "I’ll tear you apart and feed your essence to the void!"
He launched himself forward, shadow-blade reforming into something larger, crueler, dripping with void energy. The attack was blindingly fast, aimed straight at Fin’s throat—exactly what Fin wanted.
He sidestepped at the last moment, the blade whistling past his ear. The momentum carried Dan slightly past him, exposing the left side of the Commander’s shadowy form.
’Let’s see how tough you are,’ Fin thought, pivoting sharply and driving his fist toward the opening, dark energy coalescing around his knuckles.
His fist passed straight through.
No impact. No resistance. Just... nothing.
