Forcing a smile on his face, Kurogami disappeared into one of the shadows on the stage. It was like his body turned into liquid as he melded with the shadows.
At this point, Satoshi also felt confident since Kurogami didn't dare approach him. He knew that Kurogami was not well-versed in close combat and that's the reason why he didn't dare get close to Satoshi.
As soon as the match started, he defaulted into kiting Satoshi by attacking him with long-range attacks, all the while keeping his distance from him.
Once Kurogami reappeared on the other side of the stage, he started shooting a volley of shadow balls at Satoshi.
With a somersault and a backward step, Satoshi dodged the shadow balls, and he attempted to close in on Kurogami by sprinting toward him.
Seeing that Satoshi was still a couple of meters away from him, Kurogami shot a shadow beam at him, and then he disappeared once again.
Wow, what thick plot armor indeed o_o
