Chapter 137 - Death To The Shadows

Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! Swish!

The duo continuously fought with the lady, making things increasingly annoying for her. 

And just when she was about to scream out in rage, she suddenly found the back of her head smacked hard in the face by Raulin.

"Ahhhhh~~~"

She wailed and screamed with her hands on her face. 

Bastard! Bastard! What did the bastard do to her?

That's right. All that time, Butler Sheng and Zhulyn had tricked her into focusing solely on them the more they increased their momentum and vigour. They unleashed all their murderous aura, slowly making her assume Raulin to be the same with the Gias and everyone else. 

Heh hehe... In other words, they camouflaged him right before her naked eyes.

Well, maybe it's also because he had been moving around the crates the more the battle progressed, letting her eyes not fall on him.

And wouldn't you know it? It worked! 

The moment her arms deflated, the buffer time began, and Raulin appeared to deliver his move.

.

Bam!!

"~Ahhhhhh~~~ Don't look. Don't look. I'm ugly!"

Everyone saw her scream and wail while covering her face in pain and frustration. But soon enough, all her emotions tired to pure rage instead. 

However, before she could manifest her emotions, the trio began brutally attacking her nonstop, without rest.

F**! It all happened like clockwork!

Everyone saw Butler Sheng delivering a fierce kick to her right side, while Raulin attacked her back, and Zhulyn, her other side. 

PAH!

K.O.

"Ahhhhh~~ It burns! It burns!" 

Like an overlooked chicken, the lady's body began turning into a frightening bright red that was very eye-catching.

This… This… What was going on here?

Her eyes removed anxiously while watching the various changes and burns on her body.

Ahhh!!!

Steam began pouring off her entire body as though there was a fire lit deep within.

It hurts. It hurts!

Her entire skin itched and quaked with the sensation of a thousand needles ruthlessly profiling her entire core.

Her head thumped with tension, and her belly began growing and magnifying at an alarming rate.

No. No... Somebody save her!

Everyone saw her turn into a balloon and was suddenly speechless.

Butler Sheng gritted his teeth: "Get back! Her back! Everyone get back!"

Ah!

Immediately, those who were peeking and poking their heads to watch the scene, hastily moved away from the corners of their crates at lightning speed.

Sota clutched his heart in fear and excitement. And turning to his good senior Wei Gia, he immediately revealed his gleeful smile at him.

"Senior Wei... Is this what it felt like to be in the army? F***king yes! Sign me up now!"

(-_-)

....

Shhhuuuu~~

Like a balloon, the lady in blue swelled up crazily. 

Meanwhile, the lady in green, who Dorian had been fighting, instantly saw this scene and grew grim: "No!"

She tried to bypass her opponent. Too bad she was now mercilessly pinned to the ground by him.

"And where do you think you're going?" 

"Damn you! Damn you! How dare you weaken? Who gave you the guts?" The last was creaming and ing like a shrew while literally scratching the floor, leaving deep-claw marks on them. 

She cursed, screamed, and tried to escape from her enemy's grasp. But no matter what she did, Dorian remained expressionless, as though she were air itself: "Noisy."

"... SCREW YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH YOU'VE COST ME?"

The lady had years in her eyes for real.

Of course, the lady wasn't crying for her 'sister.'

What a joke! She was an underworld feature with no family emotions or anything of that nature. She was greedy, selfish and power-hungry. So how could she care about anyone else other than herself?

No! She was only worried because the other lady made the second half of her. If she were human, it would be as though a fraction of her would have been split between her and the other lady.

Yes! The 2 of them combined made a Shadow. And if one person does, then she would be significantly weakened. And even if she could manage to climb up the ranks in future, she wouldn't make it very far with her 'sister' dead.

Of course, she was still a shadow under another monster called a Manti. 

A Manti needs his Mantanoids to become stronger the more they grow. 

.

The world of these beings was indeed eye-catching.

Manties could separate from their shadows at various ranges, depending on their strengths. These shadows were just 107 years old, meaning their Manti was also 107.

Too young! At this level, the shadows couldn't even leave the building without the Manti. 

Of course, for shadows, after they reach 300 years old, they would be able to detach and grow complete souls, as though they had just had a Siamese twin operation, splitting them apart. In that way, the death of one wouldn't affect the strength of the other shadow... Though the Manti would still be affected since it lost one of its shadows.

Again, after 300 years, the Manti will also have the ability to produce other Shadows apart from the ones it was born with. 

The combo of both Manti and Mantanoids in battle would also create a morphed giant figure known as a Moid.

.

"You-you-you-you!... I'll never let you go for this, Mortal!"

"No! No! No!... I don't want to die. I don't want to die!~... It burns! It burns! Damn you all! What the hell did you do to me?"

One Mantanoid was aggressively fighting her capturer while the other was crying in despair, not wanting to die.

Shuuuuu~~

Everyone quickly took cover after listening to the ridiculous blow-up sound coming from the enlarging mantanoid.

And for some reason, Sota covered his ears excitedly. 

Oh my God! This was the greatest day of his life!

He felt like he was in a horror video game. Yes. It was scary, but after seeing the she-hulk who could grow her body parts suddenly turn into a giant balloon, how can he not get excited?

Say no more. Tonight was the best night of all time!

(^∆^)

Sota was so excited that he began counting down in his head.

'3... 2... 1... 1... 1!~~'... Sota frowned. 'Eh?... Why wasn't it....'

Boom!

There she blows!
