It’s a torrent of magic, whirling as it floods out of Shadow’s body.
Swallowed up by the magic, the rain stops.
“This can’t… Is this even real…?!”
“This is…impossible.”
The unimaginable force stops Iris and Beatrix in their tracks.
With power like this, annihilating the entire stadium would have been trivial for him.
Iris, Beatrix, and the spectators are all equally helpless in the face of such might.
“Why would I need to flee…?”
Nobody can possibly stop him. They have no choice but to acknowledge that.
“Why…?” asks Iris, her voice shaking. “If you had all that power…you could have killed us whenever you wanted.”
“…I achieved my objective. I have no interest in your lives… The only ones we butcher are our enemies…”
Shadow looks at Iris as he makes his magic converge on his sword.
“Make sure you remember…who your true enemy is.”
With that, Shadow releases the energy into the sky.
A blinding light floods the stadium and spreads out across the entire capital as it blots out the heavens and blasts away the rain clouds.
When it fades, all that’s left is a clear blue sky.
Shadow is nowhere to be seen.
The clouds, the rain, the lightning, and Shadow himself… It’s like they were never even there.
“Remember who my true enemy is…? Shadow. Who are you…?”
Iris gazes up at the cloudless sky as she ruminates on the words with which Shadow left her.-Volume 2, Final Chapter
