The Shadow stared at him ,His expression hardened.
He took a deep breath.
“Iron Step.”
BOOM!
He disappeared.
In an instant, he appeared directly in front of Kael,he barely raised his blade.
“Iron Fist!”
CLANG!
The impact pushed Kael backward —The Shadow followed immediately, not giving him a moment to breathe.
“Iron Fist!” His fist hardened,Kael tried to block with his blade again, But this time—The Shadow caught the blade.
He pulled.
Kael was dragged forward and lost his footing, The Shadow stepped in.
His knee shot toward Kael's stomach, Just before it connected— The iron left his fist and rushed toward his knee.
HARDEN!
BOOM!
The hardened knee slammed into Kael's stomach —All the air immediately left his lungs.
“Guh—!”
Kael staggered backward.
One step.
Two steps.
He struggled to breathe —The Shadow didn't give him a chance.
“Iron Fist!”
BOOM!
He charged.
“Flash Step!”
WHOOSH!
Robert appeared directly in front of Kael, He didn't block —The Shadow's fist slammed into his chest.
BOOM!
Robert's body shook from the impact, But he remained standing—He absorbed the force, the impact traveled through his chest—Into his arm and into his blade.
Robert tightened his grip.
He took one step forward.
“Reverse Edge.”
SWISH!
The slash cut toward the Shadow's flank, But this time—The Shadow was prepared.
His hands straightened.
Iron immediately covered his arms, forming sharp blades.
“Iron Blade!”
CLANGGG!
The two attacks collided.
The force of Robert's counterattack pushed the Shadow backward.
But he held his ground.
Kael remained behind Robert, still struggling to catch his breath.
He slowly looked up.
“He can't protect himself when he attacks…”
Robert paused.
His eyes shifted toward the Shadow.
Kael continued.
“When he attacks, the iron only protects the part he's using.”
Robert was silent for a moment.
Then—He nodded.
The Shadow's eyes narrowed.
He immediately created distance between them.
He stood several meters away.
For a moment, he said nothing.
Then he slowly reached inside his clothes.
He pulled out a small veil.
Robert and Kael watched him carefully.
The Shadow looked at the veil.
His expression became serious.
“To think…”
He slowly opened it.
“…you guys will make me use this.”
He raised the veil to his mouth.
Then—
He drank everything inside.
Silence.
Nothing happened.
Then—
The Shadow's aura disappeared.
His killing intent vanished.
His presence—
Gone.
Kael's eyes narrowed.
Robert's expression hardened.
They could still see the Shadow standing several meters away.
But they could no longer sense him.
It was as if—
He wasn't there at all.
Kael swallowed.
Robert tightened his grip on his sword.
Both of their eyes narrowed.
