A Big Bang

Noir had his focus on me, of that I am sure.

That was something he needed to do, however, since, among everyone right now, I am the one with the most threat to him. I myself couldn't believe what I was doing, but my movements seemed to be optimized for fighting against Noir's every move.

From how fluid my movements were, I could glimpse the dense amount of dedication placed on mastering even a single unassuming step.

"Don't look down on me!"

Noir roared, angry. This time, with the distance between us being less than a dozen meters, his tentacles couldn't perform as well as before. Instead, I saw the shadows around me start to quiver. 

"...!"

I had no idea what happened, but I was suddenly in the air, rotating at an unbelievable speed. Using the shadow talons, I cleaved through the shadow spikes that suddenly appeared all over the place without any warning.
