“Once more!” Cole exclaimed furiously. He charged forward a second time.
Once again, it was a muffled sound that reverberated across the plaza.

The power unleashed by both parties astounded everyone.
Melvin, Vermont, and the rest were all frozen on the spot.

It seemed like Night Shadow was not a simple fighter. He actually utilized stealth.
This technique had been lost for a long time. The timing was advantageous to this person as it was nighttime.
It seemed like Night Shadow came prepared. Nonetheless, he only took advantage of the dark and used quick steps to hide his movements.
