CHAPTER 37: NOT ARROGANCE BUT CONFIDENCE

Her instincts screamed at her that something was wrong. Shadow felt goosebumps as she scanned the arena, thinking crazily about what could be wrong, and then it occurred to her. She didn't hear any victory announcement from the system.

"Impossible," Shadow spoke, her voice barely audible, the fatigue from using her last attack still taking its toll on her body.

"Indeed, impossible indeed," Abyss said, standing behind Shadow.

Shadow felt her instincts warning her, telling her to stand up and run, but her stamina was empty. She couldn't stand on her feet. She tried several times to get up, but she couldn't find the power to do so.

"Oh, no need to stand, I'm fine with you sitting," Abyss said with a smile on his face.

"How?" Shadow asked.

"I'm not keen on exchanging my trade secrets with you. It's going to be pretty annoying if you go to Nemesis or the other members of the big six guild—oh, sorry, four now. Two's out, thanks to me."
