[Kingdom of Avalon]
In actual fact Akito was the person currently nearest to where the fight was happening, through that he was then able to see the whole scene played out right before his eyes as he witnessed Shun fighting off against an unknown enemy that he even haven't encountered before in his entire life
Unlike the other people especially the elite force of the Kingdom of Avalon, the Aqua Force which were then confused where the attack had originated and who attacked them, Akito on the other hand had clearly discovered the enemy on his own accord
Based on how long both Shun and the shade was fighting, he then concluded that the shade itself was the only sole attacker inside the kingdom and for some reason agitated by Shun's existence which causes the sickening bloodlust all around the place
With him having a third person perspective, he was then able to see through the shades attack, as he earlier realized the trait of the shade to pass through attacks and obstacles, as if it was a ghost
Alongside it he can also recognize the electricity coursing through the shades body as he concluded to be the sole purpose for the huge power up of the shade in terms of attack power and speed
With all those thoughts in mind he then took his stance right infront of Shun who was bloodied all over as he glared at the shade that was at the opposite side
Without offering any words of warning, Akito then immediately sent out an attack, thinking that mere words wouldn't get through his opponent
"Tomura's Third offensive sword form Ken no Nami (Sword Wave)"
Sending out a sword wave towards the shade, he then expected to atleast catch his opponent off guard as he took the time to get closer to its approximate arm reach
Through that he then first created a diversion attack which has low successful hit rate among his forms as he got closer, after all he is adept at close range combat, thus he is confident that he wouldn't get done in
Just like that all according to his plan, the shade did eventually passed through his sword wave as it stretches its claws towards him, unfortunately Akito already saw such an attack coming, thus he was able to prepare earlier to deliver an immediate blow
"Tomura's First offensive sword form Wansutoraiku (One strike)"
With his sword slash clashing against the enhanced claws of the shade, a huge shockwave then reverbrated around the area, as Akito himself couldn't help but grit his teeth in annoyance
After all upon clashing with the shade's claw, he couldn't help but feel like his been hitting nothing but a hard steel, whats more the shade's strength had completely surpassed his, thus causing him to be pushed back by a bit
With the initial clash blowing both the shade and him away, Akito then stanced once more for another strike, when he suddenly realized that the shade had disappeared right infront of him
Due to its disappearance, his danger sense immediately kicks in, completely warning him of a fatal danger as he quickly rolled forward, just in time to dodge an incoming invisible attack from the shade
In that instant he then saw the shade plunging into the shadows once more as it kept its attack pattern unpredictable as much as possible
With such situation laid before him, Akito then changed his form as he sent out a counter attack
"Tomura's First Tactical Sword form Megakuramu kuroi karasu (Blinding Black Crow)"
"Tomura's First defensive sword form Tamari Mizu (Still Water)"
"Tomura's Third tactical sword form Namiutsu kankaku (Ripple sense)"
"Tomura's Second offensive sword form Takai kinchō (High Strung)"
Using his first form to temporarily blind the enemy, his second form to nullify any form of an attack, his third form to sense the enemy's location, and his fourth form for immediate counter
He then went in an started to put pressure into the shade as he delivered numerous attacks, that were in fact an affective form of suppressing one's enemy
With a swing of his blade, he then finally felt the presence of his enemy as he blow the shade away, causing it to crash into the wall
But the moment when he decided to deliver a second blow, he then realized that the shade became even more faster and stronger than before as it even disappeared out of his range of perception and smack him away without him even noticing a slightest change in his opponents temperament
Through that only one word bypassed his mouth as he saw everything happening in just a flash of seconds
"Impossible"
With that just like Shun, Akito was then blasted away as he crashed through the walls of a building, before getting buried in a demolished rubble
In just few exchange the shade literally knocked Akito unconscious as it turned its attention back towards Shun
Who would have expected that the moment it tried to even get closer to him, numerous members of the Aqua Force then gathered around the site as they bore the hostility towards the shade
Seeing that both Shun and Akito whom they recognized were knocked down bleeding and fatally injured, everyone then concluded that the shade was the attacker of the whole kingdom
At that time just as Mordred stepped forward to block the shades path, Garen on the other hand sprung out from the blind spot and chatged towards the shade
Alongside its charge, numerous Aqua force members then bore their fangs at the shade as they launched their attack simultaneously towards the attacker
With that even Mordred and Lionel charged in to attack the shade at their own accord, while Merlin and Diva immediately retrieved both Shun and Akito who were fatally wounded
At the same moment the king and queen of the kingdom of Avalon and Holsteia Kingdom including their heirs which are the crown prince of their country then came to that location as they checked the situation bravely
Who knew then that when they arrive, they would see two familiar faces, all bloodied up and wounded from the fight, thus they concluded that the enemy must be a powerful opponent
Because of such situation wherein many people were gathered, the shade then failed at its main task of killing Shun, as he gave up for that moment and retreated back into the shadows, after all this wouldn't be the last time he would attack Shun out of nowhere
And the next time they will meet, it will make sure to kill Shun with its own two hands
