"How long has it been?" He asks with a rather complicated expression, he might have just woken up from his deep slumber but he can sense the great changes that had transpired in his kingdom.
BOOM! BOOM! Two powerful auras descend in front of him, one is an individual in red armour, wielding a spear that looks like a dragon.
The other is a man wearing heavy armour, holding a domineering looking saber, the two are exuding aura of that of a high level Xiantian Lords but he is not threatened by it.
He does not know why but he feels extremely amazing, it is as if, he had become a divine being.
"Who are you?!" Roars the spear wielding warrior, hearing his voice, he is startled, he sounds just like his dear old friend.
"If you are not going to answer, then, you leave us no choice!" Seeing that he is not answering, the spearman grips his spear tightly and assumes an attacking stance.
"Wait!" Seeing this, he quickly speaks but his voice is like a powerful dragon, it shakes the mansion, he is shocked.
His expression quickly changes, he teleports away from his location, the large warrior, that was holding the domineering saber, attacks.
BOOM! The attack destroys everything in the area of the impact, seeing this, the spearman roars "You idiot! Shadow is still sleeping inside! You are going to interrupt his transformation!"
'As expected, he is Ban!' Shadow quickly realises, he wants to tell them that it is him but what happened earlier boggles his mind.
"Sorry, I was not thinking straight, seeing a stranger in the mansion has riled me up so bad that I could not hold my anger." Says the large man.
"I do not blame you for your anger, I am pretty pissed off too! After that eventful day three years ago, we were left behind to take care of the kingdom, I had promised that I would protect our home and him but seeing an intruder appearing inside the mansion, I was furious and ashamed!" Ban roars.
The large man glares at Shadow, he agrees with his friend's words "Aniki, has always been the one taking care of us, after his slumber, it should be our turn to protect him and we are not even able to do that, I cannot face him anymore!"
"So, we are thinking the same thing, let's destroy this bxstard!" Ban roars before charging towards Shadow.
"Dragon Spear Art, [Dragon Form], First Stance, Hundred Flood Dragon Strike!" His spear seems to have transformed into a hundred flood dragons baring their fangs at Shadow.
'F*ck!' Shadow curses inwardly, he tries to defend and instinctively raises his hand.
A shield glowing in different colours appears, it blocks the spear strikes easily, not even a hint of damage can be seen.
The trio's eyes widened, Shadow, himself, could not believe that he had summoned such a powerful shield out of nowhere.
The large warrior recovers quickly, he charges with great ferocity, his eyes are radiating intense anger and killing intent.
"Dragon Slaying Saber Technique, Dragon Slaying Slash!" The large warrior raises his saber and slashes, even though, he is still a couple of meters away, his attack sends a powerful and sharp wind that flies towards Shadow.
[Blink]
He escapes once again but the large warrior stares at him, he senses the contempt in his eyes, just as he is confused, he feels his body suddenly becoming heavy.
'What is this?!' He is startled, he had heard what Ban had said earlier, it had been three years, the two had definitely improved and learned more skills and techniques after such a long time.
[Holy Tackle]
Ban tackles him, he grits his teeth and holds his friend tightly, the two of them stop at their tracks, time seems to have frozen for the two of them.
They look at each other with the same expression, dumbfounded, after a second, they quickly jump away.
The large warrior approaches his friend and asks "What happened?"
He knows his friend has slimmed down but his weight has actually increased exponentially after all of these years, even him, is not able to fully stop his skill, [Holy Tackle], like that.
"He stopped me, his physical strength might be even greater than yours, this is bad, we are unable to hold back if this continues." Ban grits his teeth and curses.
"Fatty, I think, that being is a true member of a higher race, do you think that he is a true member of the God Race?" The large warrior asks.
"Maybe, I cannot deny that he is extremely attractive and he has an aura that seems to be able to pressure and attract just about anyone." Ban nods his head in agreement.
The two quickly tense when they see him moving, he seems to be gesturing something, he is writing on the floor.
It is me, your dear friend, Shadow, I have awakened.
This is what he wrote, the two looked at each other and instantly became furious, they are about to continue their attack, when they see him waving his hand.
He writes once again.
Bring Glutton or any of my partners here, they will definitely recognize me, we are connected through the souls.
After reading this, the two turn to each other once again, they are starting to believe him, after all, he is telling them to bring this kingdom's powerhouses.
This will not harm them, on the contrary, if he is truly an imposter, he will be in deep trouble, he is outnumbered.
"Okay, I will go and find Glutton or Vixen, muscle head, you stay here and keep an eye on him, call for soldiers to surround this place, I will be back." Ban stands up and flies away.
Shadow's eyes widen, he cannot believe that his friend is able to fly, as a Xiantian Lord, they are capable of flight in the lower realm but this is the higher realm, the nature of the heavenly laws are vastly different.
