Chapter 110: Elliots reason! (1/2)
Most of the onlookers couldn't understand why instructor Leonardo hadn't crowned Elliot as a winner, and they kept on looking at him, waiting for him to say the words.
However, he didn't have any intention of doing so. After all, the battle royale still hasn't ended.
Three seconds later, Elliot looked towards his shadow, playful glints jumping in his eyes. Then, he said, ”Everyone has been eliminated except for us. We're the only one left, Big Boss. How about you come out?”
An instant after he said those words, his shadow squirmed. Right after, it stretched for a few meters away from him. Then, darkness sprouted out of the shadow's edge, swirling around before taking the shape of a human.
”OMG, a person was hiding in his shadows, and we didn't even notice.”
”What the hell?”
Seeing that the person who came out of Elliot's Shadow is none other than Sylas, the mouth of the onlooker gaped in surprise and their eyes widened in disbelief. None of them knew that he had the superpower to become one with one's shadow. They also didn't know when he hid inside Elliot's shadow or how he managed to do it without gaining anyone's attention.
”Lol, wait! This person looks familiar! Isn't he one of the participants with two superpowers and one magic matrix?”
”Make it three. He didn't use any shadow-related superpower before.”
”Three superpowers and one magic matrix, isn't this too overpowered? Rather, how is it possible for a magician to contain three kinds of supernatural cells in their bloodstream? Isn't it normalized for different kinds of supernatural cells to wage war, clash against each other to dominate and annihilate the opposite cells, killing the magician in the process?”
”That's not important!”
”The thing is, he is alive, and we are witnessing yet another miracle!”
”Two miracles in a single day, what a surprise!!”.
Cheers erupted from the crowd. The people hailed the two boys as miracles.
Standing opposite to each other, the two teenagers looked at each other in the eyes.
”When did you found out that I was hiding in your shadow?” Sylas asked the question that has been bothering him for a while.
”Hmm, well, I knew you were going to hide in my shadow the moment you submerged into the arena's floor and sneaked towards me.”
Sylas was taken aback by his words, shocked to know that all the things he did in this tournament hadn't escaped Elliot's eyes. Just like Elliot said, he truly had used one of his many superpowers to become one with the earth before reaching underneath Elliot. Then, he waited for the attention of the crowd to shift on to something else.
When Elliot had hurled the ball of obliteration at Linda, the eyes of the onlookers focused on the ball, subconsciously or consciously. That was the moment he used his fourth superpower and shapeshifted into the form of a shadow. Then, his shadow intertwined with Elliot's shadow, making him become one with his shadow.
