I'm falling.

Ah, that's right... I opened the dungeon key in mid-air, so after exiting it'd only make sense I'd be here...

I look down to see I'll be falling right on a large rock.

Skill: Dagger Throw

The rock breaks in half, and with my Dominator's Touch skill, the dagger returns to my hand.

I land, my legs aching at the length of the fall.

A quick potion sip clears that right up, and I glance at my status screen to confirm that...

I got a new skill.

It's a Telepathy Skill, costing no aura, to see images, hear sounds, or all around use the senses of my shadows no matter how far away they are.

I likely got this from coming into contact with Meili, someone capable of communicating with Grimm.

I close my eyes. Everything goes dark...

And then I see it.

A black sword blocking the sharp grips of two green pistols. A girl with dark skin and green hair is what I see. My shadow soldier turns around, and I see Ruby on the ground, wounded and clearly tired.

New Skill Obtained: Shadow Exchange.

Meili beat the dungeon I trapped her in, so I got rewards sent to my inventory... One of which being a skill rune.

This new skill of mine allows me to exchange positions with any of my shadows, having a 3 hour cool down.

My entire body is filled with rage, and...

Skill: Shadow Exchange

"Guh! You again?"

I lift my head up and glare at the bitch standing before me.

"So, Emerald was it... How do you feel about dying?"

Emerald suddenly takes a step back and is practically paralyzed by the murderous intent I'm oozing out.

I point at her, my body practically glowing from the aura seeping out, my inability to contain it stemming from just how pissed off I am.

"You're going to regret ever attacking Ruby."

"She your girlfriend or something...?"

Emerald is able to, only, let out a taunt before forcing her body to move, blocking the dagger I throw at her.

Skill: Dominator's Touch

The dagger returns, and...

"It's time you learn that my teammates aren't to be touched... Not by you, nor by your partners."

It begins.

I throw slash after slash at Emerald, and she's barely able to block each one, the tips of my weapons grazing her aura every so often.
