    Ares’ and Dust Ball’s eyes sparkled at the sudden appearance of Onitsuka and felt that they were able to leave early.


    However, Ishida’s attack spoiled their ns.


    Apanied by a soft thud, the streaks of shadows channeled out. As the distance between them was closer this time, they shot out from Ares’ and Dust Ball’s shadows and surrounded them like spikes of a hedgehog.


    Even though it was nearer and faster this time, Ares had already experienced the same manoeuvre multiple times. He then calmly shifted his repulsive field which blocked and smashed the shadows.


    The strength of the shadows were simr to that of iron and hence Ares’ repulsive field was able to easily settle them.


    After settling the shadows, Ares shifted his attention to the two Japanese, “So lucky to meet you guys again today.”


    He thought that they would be shocked and helpless but it wasn’t the case. Hidekazu and Onitsuka remained calm and expressionless while staring at him.


    While Ares was feeling suspicious, a faint voice with thick Japanese ent came out of nowhere.


    “He he, quite impressive abilities.”


    Ares’ expression changed immediately as he saw two ck streaks emerged from the shadow below his stomach. With a twist, they shot towards his legs.


    The repulsive field which covered him exploded in an instant with a loud sound and the two ck streaks got shattered.


    However, more ck streaks emerged from his body which led him to be in a crisis.


    Ares panicked and thought, “His ability wasn’t so advanced back then, what’s happening?”


    He thought that he didn’t witness theplete ability the previous time. Onitsuka’s shadow weapons or Hidekazu’s shadow jumps were merelyponents of the ability.


    Now the ability that Ishida held was theplete set of Shadow ability and he was able to disguise himself in the shadow.


    Onitsuka’s shadow weapon and Hidekazu’s shadow jump required them to physically approach the shadows to utilise their abilities which limited their effectiveness. Shadow Jump was also dependent on the surface area of Hidekazu’s shadow.


    But Ishida was able to integrate himself into a shadow. After he bes a shadow, he can utilise the shadow jump and shadow weapon at will which allowed him to be untraceable and attack from any corner. The victims could not retaliate too since they could not locate the shadow he was hiding in.


    Especially in a dark night like this, there were shadows everywhere. Ares had shadows all around him too and Ishida could jump into any shadow. He instantly jumped in the shadow below Ares and began his attack.


    Bam bam bam!


    ck streaks continuously emerged from his body but were immediately repelled by his repulsive field.


    “What’s this?”


    Ares originally utilised the repulsive field to cover himself as a defensive mechanism. However, no matter how tightly he was enclosed in the repulsive field, he still wasn’t able to separate his body from his shadows.


    As he looked at Ares gradually being covered byyers of shadow streaks, Ishida said with ease, “How long are you going to persist? The reason you are not dead yet is because I don’t feel like killing you.”


    “Dust Ball!”


    Ares looked at Dust Ball’s initial position but it was already vacated. “Damn! You escaped?”


    Boom boom boom!


    The repulsive field continuously exploded. Ares was still continuously attacked by Ishida’s shadow streaks. He kept attempting to escape but even the poles on the roadsides and trees were victims of the onught.


    “There’s no point, my shadow attack doesn’t have any limitation.” Ishida slowly increased the intensity of his onught while he casually said, “If you surrender early, you will suffer less pain.”


    “Meow!” Ares wouldn’t give up. With a howl, he dashed in the direction of Onitsuka and Hidekazu.


    When they saw Aresing at them, they immediately retreated. Ares was still attacked by a the streaks of shadow and was unable to escape.


    At this moment, Ares suddenly vanished.


    A sea of ck appeared in front of Ishida and it seemed like he was transported to a strange ce which was the extradimensional belly.


    In fact, Dust Ball didn’t escape but went to open a transparent door and called for Ares to escape to.


    Ishida was brought into the extradimensional belly and was stunned.


    “What’s this ce?”


    Shing shing shing shing! Streaks of ck emerged from the shadows and Ishida threatened, “Bring me back or I will immediately kill you.”


    Ares justughed him off and did not speak. Initially he wasn’t able to escape from Ishida’s ability but it wasn’t easy to just kill him. Even more so when they were in his territory now, how would Ares feel threatened.


    Fujin, Lion Head, Catherine... slowly emerged and over ten of the supercats curiously looked over from a distance.


    Ishida was taken aback, “So many? Are all of them supercats?”


    Among the supercats, the Sphynx Cat was walking at the front and he looked at Ares worriedly and asked, “Ares, what happened? What’s that on your body?”


    Before Ares could reply, Dust Ball shouted out, “I don’t know if it’s a supercat or apostle, but he was able to be a shadow and attacked us! This fellow almost killed Ares, it scared me!”


    Thump thump!


    Apanied by Dust Ball’s meows, all the supercats seemed to have heard loud thumps emanating from the Sphynx cat.


    Sphynx cat walked quickly towards Ares and asked with concern, “Ares, are you okay?”


    Ares immediately replied, “Don’te over first.” At the same instant, the ck streaks on his body moved and Ishida called out, “Don’te over!”


    At the next moment, the ws of the Sphynx cat shifted with a blink of an eye. The supercats only felt that his ws seemed to have moved but didn’t know what happened.


    With a rumble, the streaks of shadows on Ares’ body were shattered and vanished into thin air.
