Chapter 20 - The Day the Shadows Were Stolen

The light goblins all lined up and walked on the air, glowing just like the sun in the morning. Some were more like a moon in the night.

Not only did the battlefield shine like a star, it even got darker. The shadow goblins are able to generate shadow from one simple shadow.

Even though the time was supposed to still be day...

This side of the island turned into night.

Everyone looked ready for a fight when all of the light soldiers flexed hard like a champion chimp winner, and on the other side the shadow goblins fled like a boxer in a ring who just defeated John Cena.

PSI stayed in his place looking at how they ascended down...

Every light soldier has a shadow underneath. Each shadow has a shadow goblin stored in it. So fighting against one light goblin means being careful of another one...

The goblins all lined up. The light goblins' leader slept on the air while beneath him was the shadow goblins' leader.

PSI already sensed the dangerous situation that could unfold if he made any mistakes...

Not to mention he still sounded a bit too confident with all the fights going on. And that all depends on the 'SUI'.

The 'Slime Unconscious Instinct', which just keeps letting him use the inventory as a part of his body.

Meaning that sometimes they might learn too much during an adrenaline rush.

From the armies that reunited, five goblins who stood out stepped out of the army.

All five of them were light goblins, meaning they had another five shadow goblins lurking inside their shadows.

PSI began twist-jumping as the other three approached him.

All three of them ran face to face with him while he waited for them to reach him.

The first one came aiming right into his face. The goblin was approaching him like Superman flying... with a light bulb explosion in its hand.

He deflected the attack by slapping the knees of the goblin flying like Superman and grabbed his knee.

The other one was about to stab his toes by adjusting the light into a sharp short blade while the others attacked. So he stepped on his hands right when it reached him.

The third one came rushing and ran a circle around him and attacked from behind while holding a light spear.

PSI bent his back and hips backward, dropping down, and the spear passed by. So he tripped the first goblin who attacked him by pulling his hand while clinching his hands to his knees and tripped him onto the other one he stepped on.

The spear that passed by stabbed the first one.

Just when PSI was dropping backward he caught the neck of the one who threw it from behind.

He jumped out of the middle.

Suddenly all their heads were gone.

The light goblins' leader was shocked by the fact that all their heads had just disappeared.

Then the shadow goblins came out. Two of them jumped into his shadow while the other one ran to meet the rest of the five goblins.

The two light goblins ran forward...

Dashing with their fancy speed. One of them had two shadows since originally he was one of the three goblins' shadows who ran out of their shadow.

The light goblin with two shadows approached him with nothing in his hands.

Trying to confuse PSI, accepting the fact that he could actually outsmart PSI... don't get me started.

They faced each other face to face so close when the two shadows from the goblin came out of the shadow...

The other two who entered PSI's shadow jumped out as well.

All four of them were trying to make a combo attack while the one light goblin distracted him.

On top of that the last light goblin from the five jumped, separating from the shadow goblin and both attacking from the sky leaving no room to escape.

But regardless PSI didn't care.

He tapped the four shadows and the one in front of him.

As expected, all those he tapped on the face had their heads disappear.

Blood flowed out of their cut-off necks.

Splashing out...

When the two goblins from the sky dropped with their attack he tapped both their legs as well.

And their legs disappeared.

They both fell on the ground screaming in despair. Their bodies fidgeted while he approached mercilessly.

PSI reached their faces and tapped on their heads.

He then passed by and said nothing.

While their heads just disappeared.

The light goblins' leader saw the whole thing and smiled.

"you know what it's so much fun... I mean watching you kill them like that... why don't you just kill them all."

The shadow goblins' leader smirked.

Lying on the shadow floating under the light goblins leader's shadow...

"yeah all of you, you heard the guy didn't you. Go get that fatass moving b*tches. We wanna enjoy some blood..."

PSI closed his eyes. He let out a long relieved sigh.

As he opened his eyes two goblins were right in front of his face.

He looked at them and as usual tapped their foreheads.

Flexing with his movement he jumped on the faces of the two goblins.

Stepping on their faces he jumped into another one.

Almost everyone out of the twenty-four thousand goblins was aiming for him.

All of them were packed together trying hard to get recognized by killing PSI.

Yeah... it just so happens that he just flexes on their faces.

PSI went straight to one of the goblins' faces. He jumped horizontally, stretched and aimed at the goblin's face.

When he landed the goblin's face cracked with a weird sound PSI didn't even listen to.

His legs smashed the face of the goblin as soon as he landed on it on the ground.

Yet again its head disappeared.

The goblins all made a combo light attack.

It was huge like a helicopter.

He absorbed it.

They continued manipulating the light and created this huge star-like explosion.

The goblins were forming a group of hundreds. Each with its own light magic light-bulb explosion.

They raised it all together up in the sky.

In a moment it all fused together.

Over one hundred and ten explosions lined up in the sky.

The explosions surrounded PSI in the sky, dimming and glowing across the whole ground.

PSI didn't expect it, but the greater the light the stronger the shadow.

The shadow goblins lurking inside the shadows all entered inside.

In less than a second so many of them were traveling between one shadow to another, jumping and hopping.

PSI smiled, expecting something grand.

At that moment PSI was speechless but not emotionless.

Of course he controlled his emotions, but that doesn't make him emotionless. It means he controls his emotions.

That is the fire burning inside him that he keeps deep so it won't burn him... but warm him.

He looked serious yet smiling and said,

"light and shadow are a great combo... now I understand..."

And before he finished, every shadow—over twelve thousand shadow goblins—all hopped out and dark smoke rose on top of the shining light...

But...

They all returned back to the shadows.

This time it was one step closer.

PSI noticed their weakness in the blink of an eye and continued his speech saying,

"Shadows stored."

Everyone was confused.

What happened? What was he saying?

But in fact they knew it...

So out loud they all screamed.

Because...
