STAB!
Shadow looked down. He was supposed to have lunged a blade right into Aiden, but instead, Aiden had used his palm at the very last moment. The blade dug deep inside the palm and almost reached the stomach.
Aiden's blood dripped out as he looked Shadow right in the eye, a smile on his face.
"What the hell are you smiling for?" Shadow asked, pushing the dagger more.
"Arghhhh," Aiden groaned in pain, but his smile remained. "Well, that's because it's game over for you," Aiden said.
"Huh? You still believe you can defeat me?" Shadow asked.
"Not me, him," Aiden said, and the next moment, a figure came into view behind Shadow. Aren, who was followed by Zero.
Shadow turned his head, and when he saw Aren, he was stunned and excited at the same time. Aiden used that time to pull his hand off the blade and retreat a few steps away, but Shadow couldn't be bothered. He turned around to look at Aren.
"Finally, we've met again," Shadow said eagerly.
