" Silas, I challenge you to a duel. " Paxton voiced 

Paxton a changed slightly, he grew out a beard and the spirit energy he wields gave him a third eye. He had become a fairly strong Shaman. Silas hadn't grown any facial hair but he did have golden ram horns growing from his temples. 

" I accept " Silas responded 

A circle of greenish fire surrounded the two. Paxton summoned a Viking steel ax. Silas threw his right hand to his side summoning Nightbane. Paxton was the first to attack swinging his ax to the left. Silas jumped into the air jabbing Nightbane into Paxton's arm. 

 " spiritus lupi " Paxton chants 

Three ghostly wolves appeared beside Paxton and with a flick of his wrist, the beasts charged forward

Three ghostly wolves appeared beside Paxton and with a flick of his wrist, the beasts charged forward. Whist in the air Silas cast one of his secret techniques. 

" Shadow Art: Shadow assassin " 

Four shadow creatures with glowing red eyes appeared out of Silas's shadow. The shadow creatures wrapped around wolves strangling the power out of them. Silas pulled the wolves in as he landed, with a single touch and a heaping of demonic energy the wolves were turned into hellhounds black-skinned hairless dogs

Silas sent the hellhound to attack Paxton. They bare their fangs as they surrounded him. 

" You're using corrupted spirits on a Shaman, foolish " 

Paxton banished the hellhounds, he allowed his champion marks to glow. Black lightning began to dance around Paxton. He fired off several bolts of black lightning. Silas dodged each of them firing off his own sapphire bolts. The two different bolts clashed together giving off shockwaves that bounced around the green barrier. Again and again, the shockwaves bounced around the barrier.            

Silas fakes an attack with Nightbane to supercharge his palm with energy, sapping the stored up power from Nightbane. Falling for the fake Paxton swings his ax down on NIghtbane. The ax sliced straight through Nightbane fracturing it into two pieces. 

" Nightbane, Ahh " Silas screamed growing extremely angry

Silas touched Paxton's exposed chest with a fully charge palm sending a wave of demonic energy into Paxton's body. The energy began to eat away at Paxton's body until he fell unconscious and Silas retracted the energy. 

As the green barrier came down Silas picked up the pieces of Nigthbane and ran back to his room. Once there he sits Nightbane on his desk and enters his headspace.

" Nightbane, Nightbane, are you here " 

Lazarus appeared in all her curvy glory. 

" He's not here when his seal was broken his soul was set free. " Lazarus spoke 

" SSo is he gone forever " 

" No, but you're not gonna be able to fix that staff so you'll first need to find a new weapon to seal him in then call his soul back that's only if he wants to come back we were trapped in the items. I've just come to love the power and influence I have over the Shadow family. " 

" Ok, a new weapon, I'll come back " Silas voiced leaving his mind

Silas etched his way toward the school's armory. A place filled with weapons made by masters and students alike. Silas came to the office window. 

" Excuse me, may please enter " 

" School Id " 

Silas pulled a silver pocket watch out of his back pocket, when he opened it it displayed his name, grade, age, student number, and date.  

" Alright go on ahead Shadow, if you go to the far right all the way in the back there's a section of weapon created by other Shadow family members " The clerk spoke
