Clearing the Obstacles

"Shadow Fort." 

Without warning, the Shadow King unleashed his Supreme Talent. He did not even join forces with the other two. Instead, he transformed into a shadow and immediately tried to escape. All that talk about being able to defeat Merlin as long as the three of them combined their strengths was naught but a joke. At the moment of truth, the Shadow King fled faster than anyone else. 

"Shadow King!" 

The Liberator and the Phantom King's faces contorted horribly. They were furious. They did not expect that the Shadow King had no intention of joining forces with them. Instead, he was the first to escape. 

"Hmph, trying to escape?" 

Merlin immediately sensed the Shadow King. With his current strength, even Doomsday's Soul of Light could no longer trap him, what more the Shadow King? 

Merlin stomped a foot forward. He did not even have to wield his almighty beast form. 

"Boom."
