Chapter 98: The Villain Secret Base
As time passed, Maximilian felt the sensation of chains restricting his control over shadows begin to loosen. He glanced at Onyx Blade, who seemed to be growing more and more flustered with each passing second.
"You seem to be running out of time, Onyx Blade," Maximilian said as he dodged her blade and switched his dagger to his left hand, while his right hand began manifesting shadows.
Maximilian quickly applied Inorganic Animation to control the shadows, shaping them into a second dagger.
Clank!
Sparks flew as the shadow dagger clashed with Onyx Blade’s black sword. The shadows around the dagger quickly melted and latched onto her blade.
"What!?" Onyx Blade was startled. She tried to pull her blade back but couldn’t.
Taking advantage of the moment, Maximilian drove his dagger into her back, targeting and destroying the EF inhibitor module on her suit. He deliberately pierced only deep enough to disable the device, avoiding any serious injury.
"I’ve had enough of this," Maximilian said, feigning irritation. He then conjured hundreds of shadow spears and hurled them toward Onyx Blade.
Seeing this, Onyx Blade quickly discarded her now-useless sword and used her gauntlets to deflect the spears.
The spears were deflected to the ground, and while she was focused on defending herself, the villain’s figure had already vanished into the dark sky.
"That damn villain!" Onyx Blade cursed as she looked in the direction where the black-armored figure had disappeared.
