Chapter 425 Understanding Each Other’s Skills
They both knew each other’s skills quite well.
Finished
Driven by fury, Isabelle launched a forceful and brutal assault, causing the clone Storm Shadow to struggle in defence.
Though lacking Blood Shadow’s physical strength, he thrived in his cruelty and emotional disengagement, remaining composed despite outside influences.
Their confrontation made it challenging to ascertain who had the advantage.
In the end, Isabelle proved to be the more formidable fighter. Evading a blow from the clone Storm Shadow with nimble footwork, she then delivered a powerful kick that knocked him off balance.
Recovering his poise, Storm Shadow removed a dart lodged in his body to use it as a weapon.
Holding the dart tightly, he moved closer to Isabelle.
Watching the fight, Clubs recognised the remarkable likeness in skills between Isabelle and Blood Shadow, mirroring the original and the clone.
It was understandable why Joker was adamant about probing the link between Isabelle and Blood Shadow.
The similarities between them were too striking to ignore.
Clubs, watching the battle, murmured, “Moon Shadow, why are you standing idle? Help out.”
Moon Shadow, pausing as he witnessed Isabelle dominating, cautiously retrieved a dagger and responded, “Of course.”
Despite his distant demeanour, a hint of complexity flickered in his gaze.
Following a brief moment of uncertainty, he entered the battle, teaming up with the clone Storm Shadow to face Isabelle.
Moon Shadow’s unexpected participation slowly turned the tables against Isabelle, balancing the odds at
two versus one.
Both Moon Shadow and the clone Storm Shadow wielded weapons, while Isabelle stood unarmed. Despite facing superior numbers, Isabelle soon became engulfed in the fray, though Moon Shadow and the clone Storm Shadow struggled as well.
The three engaged in an intense fight.
Evading Moon Shadow’s attack with a subtle tilt of her head, Isabelle deflected the dagger aimed at her with a kick. Swiftly executing an aerial spin, she pushed Moon Shadow back while dodging the clone
Storm Shadow’s assault.
After landing, she picked up the dropped dagger and confronted the clone Storm Shadow, quickly gaining ground.

Just then, the fire–fighting assassins surged forth from the underground laboratory.
In terms of numbers, Isabelle appeared to be at a disadvantage, fighting solo against the odds.
After a momentary pause, the fight resumed.

Isabelle kept the clone Storm Shadow and Moon Shadow engaged while dealing with the remaining assassins. With each adversary defeated by her blade, the smell of blood filled the castle.
Isabelle fought with ferocity, like a demon rising from the underworld.
The scenario shifted back to two versus one.
Already weary, Isabelle felt her energy dwindling quickly. What initially seemed like an easy match against the clone Storm Shadow and Moon Shadow now presented an escalating difficulty.
She took the initiative, striking first and temporarily incapacitating Moon Shadow, rendering her unable to fight.
Seizing the chance, the clone Storm Shadow relentlessly attacked Isabelle, sapping her energy.
His blows were deadly, lacking any pause, as if determined to end her life with every strike.
Moon Shadow watched the scene with a strange feeling of discomfort. For a moment, it was as if he didn’t see clones and Isabelle, but Storm Shadow and Blood Shadow.
The entire Shadow Team was aware of the relationship between Storm Shadow and Blood Shadow.
They might deceive Dark Shadow, but they would never betray one another.
Clubs‘ voice echoed strongly, “Moon Shadow, attack her!”
Moon Shadow, still disoriented, pushed past his wounds and joined the fight once more.
The battle resumed, and Isabelle once again pushed Moon Shadow away, only to be met with a powerful knee strike to her abdomen from the clone Storm Shadow.
Losing her balance, suddenly, a silver–white chain, previously hidden, lunged forward like a venomous snake, targeting Isabelle with deadly precision.
With a piercing sound, blood sprayed as the blade found its mark, impaling Isabelle through the shoulder.
Taking advantage of the moment, the clone Storm Shadow promptly followed up by delivering a kick to Isabelle. The sharp weapon was dislodged from her shoulder, returning to Clubs‘ grasp.
As it was pulled out of her body, the barbs on the weapon tore off a sizable chunk of flesh.
Isabelle crashed heavily into the wall, collapsing to the ground and coughing up a significant amount of blood. Her shoulder was drenched in crimson.
