Aiming High!!

Unknown saviour

"Huff! Huff!" Both Shadow and Luna get tired and wounded while fighting Flint.

"Ahahaha! You guys are too weak for what aura you were showing!" Flint mocked them as it was not even a warm-up for him.

"But we are still alive, which shows that you are not that strong you boasting about." Shadow mocked him back which made Luna laugh.

"I didn't know you were this funny even in intense fights like this, Shadow." She says with her little tired laugh.

And then Aurora again healed them... But she can't heal their fatigue which keeps increasing while fighting that demon.

Flint got angry with what Shadow said to him, "I was trynna play with you guys but I guess you both have a death wish, so let me accept it!" With this saying Flint used his dark magic and bind Aurora, "Now you can't heal yourself! Haha!!" Flint smirks.

"Noo!! Aurora! I will save you, partner!" Luna tried to save Aurora but realised she didn't know any attack, she can only give buffs and healing. Luna felt defeated but Shadow used his new attack.

"Shadow Projection!" Which made many clones of Shadow from the shadows and they went to attack Flint, till then they tried to save Aurora but Flint was too powerful for those clones so they didn't get much time and got attacked by him which made them fall far from that.

"Argh- he is too strong for us, Luna. I am still saying go and find that guy till then I will try to stop him." Shadow said making Luna get up.

"Even with Aurora's and mine healing together you can't, how can you think you can without us!? We still need to do many things together, Shadow. So please, don't say that again." Luna shouts which makes Shadow shocked because it's the first time he saw Luna so scared, maybe because Aurora is captured and she thinks she can't be of any help now.

"She is right. I am too weak right now even after training for this many days and hours non-stop. I still can't beat this demon. He is stronger than whoever I fight solely. But I can't just give up! I need to defeat him and find my sister, Cora. I know she is...ok. I shouldn't think negatively, I need to fight and keep going." Shadow thinks after Luna's words.

Shadow pats Luna's head which makes her shocked, "I am sorry for being so selfish. Let's fight together whatever will be the outcome of it, ok?" He said smiling which gave Luna a new confidence to go on in this fight.

Without Aurora, they still give a good fight to the demon but they were too weak so got beaten up.

"You know what, I am pissed now... You guys are just so weak but still don't know when to give up. Let me just finish you now!" By that, he used his demon claws to make a slash which went without stopping and at full speed towards Luna and Shadow.

"I am sorry, Luna..." Luna was confused about this sudden apology but then shocked when Shadow threw her away from the claws to let her survive.

"Shadow!!!" Luna shouted trying to reach there again but it was too late, the slash was too close to him now.

"Boosh!!"

Luna fell on the ground shocked, sad and was about to cry but when the smoke was removed slowly, she saw that Shadow was still standing, staggered but was not alone.

"Shadow!! Shadow are you ok!?" Luna reached towards Shadow who fell on his knees and got unconscious after that shocking thing he saw.

"Wh- who are yo-" The saviour didn't let her finish her question.

"There's no time for these types of questions, little girl. Take care of your friend and let me take care of this monster." By this, the saviour makes a fighting stance.

"Huh!? Who is this old man now!? Why is everyone pissing me off today!?" Flint got angry that someone came between his hunting.

"My apologies, young demon. But I can't let anyone die in my territory. You can release all of your anger on me though." The old man said calmly.

With that, Flint rushed over to him, "As you wish, but I will take it as your last!" He attacked with full power, more powerful than what he was showing Shadow and Luna but got blocked easily.

"What the-!" He was shocked. "Now it's my turn." The old man said and gave him a heavy punch on his belly which made him fall far, "He has time to return here, go and hide behind that tree, take your friend with you, little girl." The old man said.

"I don't know who you are, but thank you for now." Luna said crying and taking Shadow from the fighting scene.

"Kids nowadays, crying so easil-" The Old man was talking to himself but got attacked from behind by Flint.

"Haha! Now you see!? I am an assassin so I can do some quiet moves, you know." Flint pushed his knife deeper into the old man's back.

"Argh-" But suddenly he vanished from there, "Huh!? Where is this old man vanished!?" Flint said confused.

"Shadow Melding!"

"I can be anywhere, wherever I want, let's see if this assassin can handle my final blow!" The old man said but only his voice was coming.

"Damn it! I didn't know a mere old human could do something like this too!" Flint shouts because no one knows where that old man is and from where he will attack.

But still, Flint praises him for his speed at this age for a human is impressive.

"Haha! I guess you just ran away because now I can't hear your voic-" Flint was mocking but saw the old man in front of him coming from his shadow.

"In my power, I need to be silent more than attacking." The old man said then attack.

"Umbrakinesis: Shadow blast!!"

"Huh!!???" That power was so strong that Flint got dissolved in the darkness.

Finally, Flint was defeated and the old man got tired because the move was too strong for this age to control.

"He defeated that demon with a single power blast... Well, that was not the weak blast but still..." Luna was surprised but impressed and saw a little presence of Shadow in that old man.

"What was that!?" She said then looked at Shadow.
