It was an opportunity.
Neo could save others.
'I need to take the Shadow down before I Time Slip again.'
His body reacted in a split second.
Arthur's Shadow, powered by mimicked Invincible, stabbed the dagger towards his heart.
Neo dodged the attack with ease.
He grabbed the Shadow's head and bashed it into the ground—
"I can see you did not defeat my Shadow through a stroke of coincidence."
Lucas, covered in golden lightning, stared down at Neo.
Neo stared at his surroundings.
'I Time Slipped again.'
He pursed his lips.
'Was that enough to defeat Arthur's Shadow?'
'It was only a single attack but I put my all into it.'
"You don't look surprised by my betrayal," Lucas said.
His words snapped Neo out of his thoughts.
He teleported behind Neo with a small smile.
Just when the sword was about to pierce Neo's neck, Neo casually struck backward with the back of his hand.
