A Mirror Of Shadow (Part 2)
The air crackled around them as Kai and the Shadow clashed, their blades meeting with a sharp hiss.
Sparks flew as metal scraped against metal, sending a jolt through Kai's arm.
The world seemed to slow as the two fighters danced in a deadly rhythm, each one seeking an opening in the other's defense.
Kai's lightning surged through the air, bright tendrils of energy crackling in every direction, but the Shadow moved with eerie fluidity, its own dark tendrils swarming around it like a storm.
Kai's attacks would strike, but the Shadow was always a step ahead, anticipating every move before it even happened.
At first, Kai pushed back, his confidence bolstered by the raw power of his lightning and the icy aura he exuded, but after a few moments, something began to gnaw at him.
'I'm not weaker,' he thought, his breath coming in short, focused bursts as he slashed at the Shadow again, the blade humming with electricity.
