Asteri is the shadow being began a clash of blades. There was a statement in Asteri's opinions.
'Strong.' he praised the tencina of being.
'He Try not to get overtaken.' Aurelion said.
On the one hand Allatu shot her whip towards the shadow but the latter did not pay much attention to her which made Allatu smile ... but immediately afterwards she changed expression, the whiplash reached the shadow but I passed her as if attacking a smokescreen, without harming the shade.
'Damn, it was a normal whiplash, it's not even made of special material or enchanted with anything. No wonder he can't hit you. ' thought Allatu.
Allatu held out his hand and in the palm a sphere of pink fire is formed.
* Fireball *
The pink sphere headed towards The Shadow which this time caught his attention, as he dueled with Asteri, suddenly disappeared into thin air avoiding the * Fireball *.
'Thing?! where the hell did he go? do you detect anything Aurelion? ' Asteri asked puzzled.
'No ... I can't feel anything.' Aurelion answers.
And here, as the shadow had disappeared, it reappeared behind Asteri, but thanks to his instinct he slipped sideways but however the shadow managed to cause a cut on his arm, but not deep.
"Interestingly, you managed to dodge my blow despite being in my dimension. But you couldn't sense me ... is this your sixth sense?" the shadow asked curiously.
"It's none of your business, more than anything else you have to tell me your name, if I can, dear shadow." Asteri asked.
"It doesn't really matter to know but if you insist, our name is Skiá." said the shadow.
'We?!' Asteri was confused, there wasn't just one, but more? he could not know this.
"I don't care about your name, creature of darkness." all of a sudden there was a young but resolute voice.
A person fully equipped in shiny grey armor with gold ornaments and an equally flamboyant sword emerged from an alley.
'O mother Lilith, it stinks of light from here even if we are so far away.' Allatu thought as she stiffened his expression.
"You ... are a human, with the attribute of the hateful light too, but no matter it makes the closes only more interesting." exclaims Skiá.
"Interesting here, interesting there, can't you say anything else? Can't you see you're at a disadvantage?" Asteri says.
"Who are you two? If you're fighting this monster, you should be my allies." said the knight.
"Well in theory, yes, however my name is Asteri, she is an adventurer, same thing as her her name is Allatu." Asteri said turning to the knight.
"My pleasure." Allatu said.
"Oooh adventurers I understand, I'm John, I'm a paladin, my pleasure." John said politely.
But while they were busy with introductions, they didn't notice that the shadow was gone.
"Where did the monster go?" John asked apparently worried.
"If you are done with the introductions, can we also start what do you think?" her voice came out of nowhere.
"Come out of the shadows, creature of darkness!" John exclaims.
"Haha creature of darkness? Oh no no, how wrong you are paladin, we are something worse than darkness." says Skiá.
'Worse than darkness?' Asteri wonders in mind.
"No matter what element you represent, you are always a threat to the innocent, which is why I will eradicate you from this world." John exclaims.
"Try it if you can, paladin hehe." Chuckled Skiá.
"My allies I will give you my aura as a token of collaboration, * Aura of inspiration *." John said, indicating with both hands Asteri is Allatu.
Allatu received the gift, it was a blessing that surrounded them with an aura of a sweet warmth of breath, and in the contours of Allatu's whip a kind of yellow sura appeared.
'The famous auras of paladins can give these auras to those they consider allies. Comfortable.' Allatu says looking at his whip.
"Eh? Why doesn't it work on you?" John asks with a doubtful expression on his face.
"I don't know, but it's not important now ... I feel it's coming from her dimension." warns Asteri, who strangely could not benefit from John's aura.
Skiá appeared behind Allatu, unaware of this, aiming his blade at her throat, but at the same time Asteri and John also appeared. Asteri deflecting the blow of the blade and John executing a slash towards the creature's chest, which he very nimbly dodged.
'Rapid!' Asteri and John thought in their heads, seeing that both had reacted in a very short time.
'And it's also one degree below me.' John finally thought.
Skiá wasted no time and she lunged at John, who immediately responded by starting a clash of blades with Skiá. Sparks of rubbing from the blades began to show.
"Are you OK?" Asteri asked Allatu.
"Yes, all right it didn't reach me thanks to you. Thanks love." Allatu said kissing Asteri's cheek.
"Uhuh it was a pleasure my love." Asteri answered heading towards the battle.
Skiá knew that no matter how strong he was, he couldn't keep up with those two together. So he immediately began to think of an escape route to continue his slaughter. He wanted to go into his dimension again to hide but his hand clawed at his arm.
'How can he do it? how can he stop me here? ' Skiá wondered as he looked at the hand that grabbed him on his arm, forcing him to return to his dimension.
"Did you think you were running away from this ease again, shadow?" Asteri asked with a little smile on his lips.
"Bastard-but what's Aaaargg." while insulting Asteri, Skiá suddenly begins to feel pain in the part of the arm that was touching Asteri. Species of gold, blue and purple colored veins began to expand on Skiá's arm, on the side where Asteri was holding him.
"Aaaaaaaaa" but while Skiá was perplexed by this fact, John walked towards him with the blade pointed towards his chest, which as expected penetrated him where his heart was supposed to be.
