(shadow realm open area near a lake)
Anna (after appearing from her symbol): I'm here Shadow King! Show yourself!
After walking for a bit three small shadow orbs appeared around Anna but when they were about to explode she jumped away doing a backflip in mid-air. However, once Anna landed a symbol appeared immediately exploding.
Anna (in a wind barrier while the smoke disappears): Are you testing me now?
Shadow King (while appearing at the same time Anna's barrier disappears): If you weren't able to block those attacks I would have killed you out of boredom.
Anna: How mean. (after appearing in front of the Shadow King) After all, you sent me an invitation (while a weapon slowly appeared) so it is rude to kill a guest.
Once a lance appeared Anna immediately unleashed a straight attack but was stopped by an invisible barrier. Shadow hands appear from the ground about to crush Anna however she jumps away and throws three fire spikes from her free hand. One of the shadow hands moves using the palm to block Anna's attack before both hands stretch towards her. Anna changed her lance into a bow to fire a powerful fire arrow because once it hit the hands they got covered in flames until they disappeared.
Anna (in her mind after noticing while the bow turned back into a lance): Where did the Shadow King disappear to?
Anna's future sight activated for a second allowing her to jump away at the same time shadow spikes appeared from the ground but when she landed after a back walkover she immediately spun her lance blocking multiple flying spikes.
Anna (unleashing a fire diagonal slash after turning around): Fight me seriously!
Shadow King (from background): Very well Vampire Queen but you have to keep up to survive.
The Shadow King came out of Anna's shadow while holding a sword to unleash an upper slash cutting Anna's lance when she blocked after turning around. However, Anna quickly turned her broken lance into two daggers getting ready to block but the Shadow King stabbed her left knee separating the joints before punching her stomach making Anna drop her daggers while flying towards the lake.
Shadow King (after Anna hit the lake): As I thought. There was no point in me showing myself.
(in the lake)
Anna (in her mind while drowning): Dam him. With a dislocated knee it's going (while her eyes turn red) to be hard to fight.
(outside the area)
Suddenly the Shadow King felt heat coming from the lake before the water erupted turning into a light water tornado seeing Anna floating with her demon wings having red eyes and her royral form arm and leg armour while holding two swords.
Anna (eyes glow a bit while the water tornado disappears): This duel isn't over until we both die remember?
Shadow King (looks at Anna while his blade is covered in shadow magic at the same time Anna's blades get covered in fire): Finally decided to fight for real.
Without any words, Anna flew towards the Shadow King to unleash a slash with both swords but the invisible barrier blocked her attack. However, soon the barrier started to show some cracks before her attack got through cutting the Shadow King in half but his body dropped into a shadow.
Anna (in her mind): The Shadow King must be close since he used a clone at the last second.
From the tree behind Anna the Shadow King flew out about to unleash a diagonal attack but Anna turned around in time to block creating a strong wave of their aura.
(human realm Keith bedroom)
Keith (after sitting up wearing his pyjamas): What was that feeling? (in his mind while touching his head) Did someone touch me? Yurei.
Yurei (after appearing): Yes Lord Keith.
Keith: Did Anna come in here? It's faint but I can smell her scent.
Sabrina (appears in spirit form): She went to the shadow realm.
Keith (while getting out of bed): And you didn't stop her Sabrina.
Sabrina: If you want to know. You should ask her yourself.
(shadow realm forest)
Anna and the Shadow King are running down the forest dodging the trees while using distance magic attacks. The Shadow King just unleashed a horizontal shadow slash so Anna countered with her own fire horizontal slash making both of their attacks disappear. Anna uses her psychic to make the broken trees float before throwing them at the Shadow King.
Anna (in her mind after looking forwards): Great a cliff.
Anna jumped off the cliff but while falling she saw a huge shadow ball falling towards her so she made one of her swords disappear to throw a fireball that soon increased its size to destroy the Shadow King's attack. After using a wind orb barrier to protect herself from the impact of their attacks mini shadow orbs suddenly appeared inside Anna's barrier and once her barrier disappeared they exploded sending her away crashing into the river.
(distances from the cliff near the river)
Anna (in her mind while crawling out of the river without her sword): I feel so dizzy. (falls to her side after her armour disappears) He caught me off guard with that last attack. (while sitting up) If I don't treat my knee soon I'll lose control from the bloodlust.
Shadow King (from a distance): You're stronger than before but you're not at the level to kill me.
When Anna turned her head to look she couldn't see clearly but a sudden lightning strike appeared from the sky causing someone to land behind the Shadow King. When the Shadow King turns around that person rushes past him cutting his arm off at the same time releasing a mist.
Anna (in her mind): Where did this mist come from? (surprise while seeing the person after they walk out of the mist) What are you doing here?
Keith (on one knee holding his katana wearing his battle outfit while his hair out): That's my line. (while picking Anna up) Let's get you out of here.
Shadow King (from a distance while a shadow arm charges at them after Keith stands): You're not going anywhere.
(from a distance)
Shadow King (after his shadow arm return): They got away. (look at his hand) However, I gave one of them a little gift but thanks to that demon it will take a while to regrow another arm.
