Chapter 242: The Shadow Emperor (1/2)

Bluebird in tailorbird fors as the Shadow Emperor closed in on him His plan to shake off the fastest player in Monster Soul was none other than the strategy he had used once and it had succeeded before

It was the si to ascend as high as possible Seventy percent of those who had chased after him would lose track of hi

The ss so hard that his sides hurt He relied on the wind and his ht path

Bluebird felt a sudden chill He hastily stopped his h where he would've been had he continued The chakra his left wing and drawing blood

'shi+t! He wants to kill me for real this time!'

Because of the curse imbued in the chakram, Bluebird lost his sense of balance for a brief htly tapped on a roof and sent himself into the sky in an instant The distance between hi fast

Zero materialized three chakrams on each of his palms and threw them in curves to close off Bluebird's escape routes

Zero deliberately left Bluebird with only a single safe choice, and that was to fly back to hih Zero's Soul-Seeking Chakra Art was scary, it was the art that Zero developed after obtaining the ability to wield nature h one of the Ten Supreme Qi, Shadowless Soul Qi, and was the main reason he became known as the Shadow Emperor As such, Bluebird decided the safer choice was to risk his life by flying into the stor in ed plase was eical chakra a space for Bluebird to fly through

—Darling, you are so cool! You spotted the weakness of those bizarre

Ash their uess Luckily, I was right'

Through the previous struggle, Bluebird could build up distance between hi hisno footholds

Bluebird speculated that, although Zero could utilize two energies, he was still originally a qi-type player Thus, Zero's ic power Based on the natural order, qi eaker than ic power could divert Zero's chakrath eaker, especially when taking into account how Zero's attainic focused on the dark element, which specialized in attack power and curses

Under the mask, no one could tell what kind of expression Zero wasHe took out his weapon for the first time It was a silver chakram with a radius of half a ical qi, the chakram spun around so fast that it seerade weapon personally made by Zeref, toward Bluebird He then linked hi the weapon closely

Bluebird realized he couldn't outfly the chakras in and shot doard, relying upon the force of gravity to accelerate his speed

The weakness of the tailorbird form was the weak physical body If he was hit by a clean hit, all the bones in the tiny body would be pulverized Still, he didn't think that transforood idea either as he would end up becoet in htly closed his eyes and wished for Zero's attack to miss him

Fortunately, it seemed Bluebird wasn't doo had allowed Dark Self to catch up and coh to attack Zero

Dark Self flicked his hand and used Lookhin's Oceanic Mind to slap Zero down onto a roof, collapsing the building underneath him At the same time, he blocked another chakra Illuminus

Bluebird landed hih-tierscattered in all directions It seeh Dark Self couldn't tell where Zero was, he was certain that the Shadow Eet was Bluebird Thus, he pulled out his trump card in order to catch up to Zero's speed

Dual Overwhele was derived and modified frohtly on the roof beneath him, yet the roof shattered and turned into dust The world seemed to slon for hi to him alone There was Zero who could rival Dark Self's enhanced speed

Bluebird could only see two shadowy figures clashi+ng at transcendent speed In a split second, Zero and Dark Self had exchangedChakrarazed the wound Sila had received earlier

In the Steel Sage state, Dark Self's punches and kicks were as lethal as finishi+ng moves He felt elated as Zero could still keep up with the A worthy opponent was difficult to co stone that would allow hier

Their power and speed were at the saht was in a deadlock, Zero decided to change his approach He relied on the concept of 'Slow Beats Fast'

In Dark Self's point of view, Zero suddenly caly, Dark Self's neck seemed to be pulled toward the chakrae his approach as well

Attribute of Metal — Serene Universe

Dark Self launched his punch in the sihtforward manner His punch united with Zero's flow of attack as if their moves had become one Nevertheless, the perfection of Dark Self's move ht

Witnessing this, Zero pulled his move back as well He did a backflip and threw the Sun-Breaking Chakraet, instead

Attribute of Wood — Beckoning Hand of the Reaper

Dark Self pulled Bluebird out of the chakra as if the walls were made of paper Itback and returning to the Shadow Eh hisof ader, Sila”

Dark Self didn't reply His blood continued to drop from the wound on his abdo his top speed, the wound was further ripped apart As long as he didn't take his ti

“Except for Montra, you are the first opponent to be the target of this skill”

Zero hadn't even finished his sentence when the tailorbird fiercely opened his eyes

Apparently, Bluebird had finished casting the spell He raised his sic power shot into the clouds above hieted spell that Bluebird was confident Zero wouldn't be able to dodge A streak of lightning descended and started to form the shape of a hammer Even if Zero didn't die fro up Bluebird's chance to run away

“Rhythe could be seen in Zero's body language However, the ainst hi aside and co from where he stood at a speed which even Dark Self couldn't follow

Shadow Reaper Hands, Zero's personal martial art, instantly came at Dark Self from above his head The art was indeed fearsothen his hands while leaving the rest of his body defenseless The power behind the hands was so deadly, as if they really belonged to the true grim reaper who could deliver death whenever they pleased

Attribute of Wood — Stellar Hidden Weapon

Dark Self ducked as he shot nu qi, fro ht sky Rather than stars, however, these were qi bullets fired at point-blank range

Because Bluebird was nearby, Dark Self couldn't exert his full power There was a need to drive Bluebird away froht the Shadow E back

Dark Self enabled er at Bluebird and released her Lookhin in the great sparrok form darted toward Bluebird like an arrow fired fro her claws to latch onto him and fly away

In theqi in order to avoid Dark Self's hidden weapons He landed on a roof before ju after Lookhin

Dark Self kicked a roof tile under his feet while strengthening it with ice-ele Cosmos The tile shot ahead of Zero and turned into an ice wall blocking his path Supplemented by the cold temperature of the city, it became a moderately durable barrier which couldn't be easily broken
