Ares’ and Dust Ball’s eyes sparkled at the sudden appearance of Onitsuka and felt that they were able to leave early.

However, Ishida’s attack spoiled their plans.

Accompanied by a soft thud, the streaks of shadows channeled out. As the distance between them was closer this time, they shot out from Ares’ and Dust Ball’s shadows and surrounded them like spikes of a hedgehog.

Even though it was nearer and faster this time, Ares had already experienced the same manoeuvre multiple times. He then calmly shifted his repulsive field which blocked and smashed the shadows.

The strength of the shadows were similar to that of iron and hence Ares’ repulsive field was able to easily settle them.

After settling the shadows, Ares shifted his attention to the two Japanese, “So lucky to meet you guys again today.”

He thought that they would be shocked and helpless but it wasn’t the case. Hidekazu and Onitsuka remained calm and expressionless while staring at him.

While Ares was feeling suspicious, a faint voice with thick Japanese accent came out of nowhere.

“He he, quite impressive abilities.”

Ares’ expression changed immediately as he saw two black streaks emerged from the shadow below his stomach. With a twist, they shot towards his legs.

The repulsive field which covered him exploded in an instant with a loud sound and the two black streaks got shattered.

However, more black streaks emerged from his body which led him to be in a crisis.

Ares panicked and thought, “His ability wasn’t so advanced back then, what’s happening?”

He thought that he didn’t witness the complete ability the previous time. Onitsuka’s shadow weapons or Hidekazu’s shadow jumps were merely components of the ability.

Now the ability that Ishida held was the complete set of Shadow ability and he was able to disguise himself in the shadow.

Onitsuka’s shadow weapon and Hidekazu’s shadow jump required them to physically approach the shadows to utilise their abilities which limited their effectiveness. Shadow Jump was also dependent on the surface area of Hidekazu’s shadow.

But Ishida was able to integrate himself into a shadow. After he becomes a shadow, he can utilise the shadow jump and shadow weapon at will which allowed him to be untraceable and attack from any corner. The victims could not retaliate too since they could not locate the shadow he was hiding in.

Especially in a dark night like this, there were shadows everywhere. Ares had shadows all around him too and Ishida could jump into any shadow. He instantly jumped in the shadow below Ares and began his attack.

Bam bam bam!

Black streaks continuously emerged from his body but were immediately repelled by his repulsive field.

“What’s this?”

Ares originally utilised the repulsive field to cover himself as a defensive mechanism. However, no matter how tightly he was enclosed in the repulsive field, he still wasn’t able to separate his body from his shadows.

As he looked at Ares gradually being covered by layers of shadow streaks, Ishida said with ease, “How long are you going to persist? The reason you are not dead yet is because I don’t feel like killing you.”

“Dust Ball!”

Ares looked at Dust Ball’s initial position but it was already vacated. “Damn! You escaped?”

Boom boom boom!

The repulsive field continuously exploded. Ares was still continuously attacked by Ishida’s shadow streaks. He kept attempting to escape but even the poles on the roadsides and trees were victims of the onslaught.

“There’s no point, my shadow attack doesn’t have any limitation.” Ishida slowly increased the intensity of his onslaught while he casually said, “If you surrender early, you will suffer less pain.”

“Meow!” Ares wouldn’t give up. With a howl, he dashed in the direction of Onitsuka and Hidekazu.

When they saw Ares coming at them, they immediately retreated. Ares was still attacked by a the streaks of shadow and was unable to escape.

At this moment, Ares suddenly vanished.

A sea of black appeared in front of Ishida and it seemed like he was transported to a strange place which was the extradimensional belly.

In fact, Dust Ball didn’t escape but went to open a transparent door and called for Ares to escape to.

Ishida was brought into the extradimensional belly and was stunned.

“What’s this place?”

Shing shing shing shing! Streaks of black emerged from the shadows and Ishida threatened, “Bring me back or I will immediately kill you.”

Ares just laughed him off and did not speak. Initially he wasn’t able to escape from Ishida’s ability but it wasn’t easy to just kill him. Even more so when they were in his territory now, how would Ares feel threatened.

Fujin, Lion Head, Catherine… slowly emerged and over ten of the supercats curiously looked over from a distance.

Ishida was taken aback, “So many? Are all of them supercats?”

Among the supercats, the Sphynx Cat was walking at the front and he looked at Ares worriedly and asked, “Ares, what happened? What’s that on your body?”

Before Ares could reply, Dust Ball shouted out, “I don’t know if it’s a supercat or apostle, but he was able to become a shadow and attacked us! This fellow almost killed Ares, it scared me!”

Thump thump!

Accompanied by Dust Ball’s meows, all the supercats seemed to have heard loud thumps emanating from the Sphynx cat.

Sphynx cat walked quickly towards Ares and asked with concern, “Ares, are you okay?”

Ares immediately replied, “Don’t come over first.” At the same instant, the black streaks on his body moved and Ishida called out, “Don’t come over!”

At the next moment, the claws of the Sphynx cat shifted with a blink of an eye. The supercats only felt that his claws seemed to have moved but didn’t know what happened.

With a rumble, the streaks of shadows on Ares’ body were shattered and vanished into thin air.
