Capítulo 108: Chapter 107
[Third Person's PoV]
Iris and Beatrix stared at Cid in shock at his sudden appearance. Beatrix's shock transformed into a confident expression, while Iris wore a worried expression.
"Cid, what are you doing here? Are you crazy? You're going to get hurt. Quickly, leave. You'd have no chance against Shadow. He's simply too strong," Iris exclaimed with evident worry in her tone.
Cid and Shadow inwardly groaned, both thinking, 'Please shut up,' simultaneously, while Beatrix looked at Iris in confusion, wondering if she was unaware of Shadow's strength.
Ignoring Iris, Cid smirked up at Shadow, who smirked back, a hidden secret behind their expressions.
"Hey—" Before Iris could say anything else, Beatrix placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.
"It's alright. Believe in Cid. He's strong," Beatrix said confidently, having previously experienced a glimpse of his power. Iris looked at Beatrix in surprise.
"I know he's strong, but is he really strong enough to fight against Shadow?" she asked.
"I'll let my skills do the talking," Cid assured Iris without taking his eyes off Shadow.
Shadow looked down at them as lightning flashed through the clouded skies. "You said I should run away from you? Why don't you come here and make me!" he exclaimed challengingly.
Cid maintained his smirk as golden wings sprouted from his back, propelling him towards Shadow, who grinned in return. Shadow waved his hand, summoning more thunder and lightning, directing them towards Cid.
Iris and Beatrix watched in astonishment. "HOW IS HE DOING THAT?!" Iris exclaimed.
"It's his magic power control. I've never seen someone wield their magic power with such precision. He's able to extract his magic outward and still wield it. He's controlling his magic to take the shape of wings to fly… It's simply amazing," Beatrix explained.
Their astonishment peaked when they witnessed Cid slice through the lightning strike Shadow hurled at him. They were unsure what surprised them more: Shadow wielding lightning or Cid effortlessly cutting through it.
Cid appeared before Shadow, sword in hand. Shadow evaded the blade with ease, attempting to kick Cid down. But Cid adjusted his position with a flap of his wings, flying back towards Shadow, who conjured two purple fireballs.
The fireballs transformed into eastern dragon shapes and hurled towards Cid. Creating a golden platform beneath his feet, Cid closed his eyes, channeling his magic into his sword.
As the fire dragons approached, he took a deep breath, slicing them in half. However, instead of dissipating, they glowed brighter before triggering a massive explosion that sent Cid crashing through buildings.
"HAHAHAHAHA! This is the power that's supposed to make me run?!" Shadow laughed.
Iris and Beatrix prepared to attack, but Shadow halted them with his Haki.
"You fools had your chance to fight me. You guys are no longer entertaining. I've found a new toy," Shadow taunted.
Shadow extended his hand catching a golden Crescent which flew his way. He held it in his hands before pretending to examine before he flicked it back towards where it came from.
"Here you can have it back" Shadow teased.
Cid simply walked out from the rubble he crashed against completely unharmed, he pointed his sword towards his sword Crescent that was flying back to him, instead of clashing against each other, the sword absorbed the slash back into it self,
"Thanks, I don't want to waste my magic that leisurely" Cid retorted.
Iris and Beatrix secretly appeared underneath Shadow before charging themselves up and jumped towards him with their sword already in a swinging motion.
When they appeared in front of him instead of being surprised Shadow simply held out both his hands taking a hold of both their faces.
He looked at them coldly as he then said, "Did I already say to get lost, you're starting to bore me."
They tried to pry his fingers from their faces but Shadows' grip was simply too strong. Shadow pulled both his arms back before throwing them both towards the ground creating a crater with their bodies as they both coughed up blood.
Shadow continued to look coldly towards them before saying, "Fine, since you want to fight so bad, Fight one of my soldiers… Igris entertain them since they simply don't appear to want to stay still, while I have my fun"
Right underneath Shadow Igris appeared with his sword planted on the ground and his hands resting on top of it, waiting for them to get up.
'My liege can I fight one of them, while Igris fights the other' Beru pleaded from his shadows.
'The next fight would be yours Beru, they are too weak for your strengths' Shadow explained
Beru just made sad grumbling noises, to which Shadow just shook his head.
As that happens Cid appeared before him with his sword already in motion, quickly moving out of the way.
"Come on dude I'm having a conversation here" Shadow said with a smirk, to which Cid smirked back.
"Heh, I know, let me guess Beru asked you to join?" Cid said as he continued swinging his sword trying to cut Shadow.
"Oh my I wonder how you came to know of such information and of that name" Shadow teased.
"Seriously?" Cid Chuckled
To which Shadow chuckled back, "I know, I know… after all we're the same person" He said as he blocked his sword and punched Cid on the face sending him flying back.
Shadow raised his hand towards the skies which amplified the sound of thunder and lightning, they started moving through the skies in a frantic fashion.
Cid already knowing what was going to come landed back on the and raised his sword towards the skies as well, he started filling it up with his magic power, until it glowed like a beacon of light.
As that was going on, both Iris and Beatrix got up from the ground with shaky legs. Beatrix's instinctively went haywire cause her to turn her body at an awkward angle.
And it was lucky that she did as Igris appeared and swung his sword, cutting the building behind them which caused it to crumble.
Sweat dripped down her face as her eyes widened, 'If my instinct didn't warn me I would have surely died' She thought before attacking.
While Igris just started playing around with them, smashing them into buildings, into the floor, against one another.
"Kirin…" Shadow lightly said while making a sweeping motion with his two fingers.
From the thunderous clouds a purple color Kirin appeared made completely out of thunder while galloping down towards Cid.
While Cid opened his eyes which caused his sword to start stretching and growing larger and longer, so long in fact that it pierced the clouds.
Cid let out a yell as he took a step forward swung his sword, the skies parted as his sword cut through the skies before meeting the Kirin head on.
As soon as they made contact a white flashed nearly blinded everyone who was still looking from the tournament arena. What followed after was a huge explosion which decimated the buildings around them, while the sky was cut into due to Cid's attack.
Everyone held on for their dear life as they were nearly blown away by the huge explosion.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Shadow's laughter resounded throughout the entire city, a laughter filled with nothing but amusement.
"That was a fantastic attack, Cid Kaguno! Perhaps you are the only person in this world that has the power to go against me, but you are still too weak!"
Shadow raised his hands towards the sky and made a grasping motion before acting as if he was pulling something.
Everyone froze when they saw something being pulled down from the sky, they were frozen with fear as they saw a giant meteor, the size of the city towards them.
"After all, if I so wanted, I could kill. Every. Single. One. Of. You"
Everyone started shaking, they didn't even try to run as they deemed it pointless, they held the hand on the person next to them, knowing that it was their last day on earth together.
They all closed their eyes and waited for the inevitable, after a few seconds nothing happened confusing everyone.
When they opened their eyes they saw Shadow holding the meteor with just one hand.
"But since I had so much fun, I'll decide against it," Shadow said before his arm gained a deadly aura around them.
The meteor slowly started turning gray as he held it, slowly after it started turning grey it started to disintegrate into dust being flown in the wind
Everyone collectively let out a sigh of relief, before Shadow pointed down towards Cid with a smirk, "I, The Shadow Monarch, deemed you Cid Kaguno my rival, if I'm the shadow of this world you shall be the light, grow stronger and stronger so one day we could have a proper fight"
Cid just scoffed, 'I can be such a showoff my god'
"As I thank you for your entertainment I shall depart with one last gift" Shadow said before closing his eyes and lifting both his hands slowly from his side.
The ground started to shake, scaring everyone once more thinking it was another attack.
But it wasn't, from the ground buildings started appearing, buildings that were just like the one Shadow previously destroyed, each building was identical to what was destroyed without missing anything or anything being out of place. Shadow used his earth magic to fix the place how it was before, meanwhile Igris used that chance to sink back into his shadow.
Once he was done Shadow dusted his hands saying, "Kaisel" from his shadow his wyvern appeared flying underneath him, before flying away making everyone let out a sigh of relief that he was gone, most specifically Iris and Beatrix.
Cid looked towards the injured Beatrix and Iris and asked with a smirk "Are you two alright?"
Iris simply rolled her eyes, "What do you think?" she asked while panting
"exhausted" was all Beatrix said leaning upon a wall.
'I better find a chance to disappear so I can merge back with the original's Shadow' Cid thought while looking at the two of them.
