Chapter 291: Is This the Plan of the Two?
Chapter 291: Is This the Plan of the Two?
After ALEKSIYA left, Shadow removed his hood, revealing a familiar face, and then looked at the Night City before him. "You're saying I've become a Casanova Harem King in another world?!"
Shadow drew his longsword, clashing it with Night City's, who showed a nonchalant attitude. "You dare say that the members of the Shadow Courtyard are all young and beautiful ladies?"
"And you're the leader of the Shadow Courtyard, yet you've gathered so many ladies around you. What's the difference between you and the prideful hero in anime and novels who builds a harem?"
Hearing Night City's words, Shadow was about to retort, but he found the words on the tip of his tongue. He himself seemed to agree that it was indeed the case...
His dream was to become a Shadow Power Seeker, not a Harem King. But on second thought, he realized that apart from Night City, this jerk, everyone else around him seemed to be indeed curvaceous ladies.
Women could erode one's mind and affect his sword-wielding speed, so... No, wait, he almost got tricked by Night City. If they were talking about the setting of a Harem King, Night City seemed to fit the role better!
No mistake, Night City was the protagonist in another world, the harem-building guy in anime and novels, and his role was always that of the main antagonist.
"Before Princess Alice arrives here, we should have quite some free time.
It's been a while since we last sparred, Night City.
Since we came to the Capital City, there's been a score to settle. This time, I can finally settle it all at once."
Shadow, with his longsword drawn, unleashed a startling amount of mana, causing Night City to break into a grin.
"Just what I wanted! If I remember correctly, you're currently at the top of the kingdom's wanted list.
If I catch you, don't expect any mercy. I'll hand you over to the Royal Knight Order without hesitation, after all, that bounty reward is quite substantial."
"If you can do it, then go ahead and try!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two disappeared from their original spots and reappeared in mid-air, now in the middle of the alley.
The clash of their longswords created layer upon layer of invisible shockwaves, engulfing the surroundings. Compared to the earlier pretend play with ALEKSIYA, Night City and Shadow were clearly taking it more seriously this time.
"BOOM——————!"
A massive roar echoed through the Capital City. The narrow alley, due to the impact of their collision, had its walls and ground shattered, the shockwaves extending to the surrounding streets.
The sudden commotion caused nearby pedestrians to panic, thinking that the disturbance a few days ago had occurred again.
Meanwhile, Alice, having received ALEKSIYA's notification, was leading members of the Royal Knight Order towards the town.
From a distance, as they saw a small mushroom cloud rising from the town, Alice and the others quickened their pace.
"ALEKSIYA, take the others to help evacuate the citizens. I'll head to Night City as soon as possible."
"But Sister, I also..."
ALEKSIYA was about to say something, but before she could finish, Alice interrupted her.
"You should know how powerful Shadow is. Although it sounds cruel, even if we get there, you won't be of much help.
ALEKSIYA, I don't want you to get into such danger again. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing Alice's words, Alexia clenched her fists in frustration, but she couldn't find a valid rebuttal.
Setting aside the commotion from earlier, the confrontation she witnessed in the alley—the sword skills of Yecheng and Shadow—were beyond her reach.
Forget about joining such a battle; even if she were to be slightly affected, her skill level wouldn't allow her to withstand it.
Within the capital city, those who noticed the fight between Yecheng and Shadow weren't limited to the Royal Knight Order alone.
On the roof of the Quyue Trading Company, several sexy ladies in black leather jackets were either squatting or standing, intently observing the area where Yecheng and Shadow were fighting. Their expressions revealed a hint of confusion.
"Why did Lord Shadow and Lord Nightshadow suddenly start fighting? Did something go wrong?"
"Alpha, what should we do now?"
Gamma and Epsilon couldn't help but show a look of anxious panic as they gazed at the distant smoke.
Although the distance was too great for them to see the combatants, they were all too familiar with the mana possessed by the two fighters.
Gamma, Epsilon, and the other Seven Shadows had met when Sida was still very young, so in a strict sense, they were also Yecheng's childhood friends.
But because of this, the "Seven Shadows" were at a loss regarding the current situation.
They didn't know why the usually close Lord Shadow and Lord Nightshadow were now fighting each other.
If the two had truly fallen out, what should they do? No, this wasn't a matter of what to do; if the two lords were to truly sever ties, it might lead to the "Shadow Courtyard" falling apart!
"Don't panic too much; perhaps this is all part of their plan.
The two manas in the fight indeed belong to them, but didn't you notice? Neither Lord Shadow nor Lord Nightshadow has shown their true strength."
Upon hearing Alpha's words, Gamma, the one among the Seven Shadows with the highest intelligence but also a natural airhead, understood Alpha's meaning.
"Alpha, do you mean that Lord Shadow and Lord Nightshadow are fighting to put on a show for others?"
"That's right, Gamma. Didn't you say it before? Recently, members of the Diabros Cult have been impersonating us, the 'Shadow Courtyard,' and causing trouble all over the capital city.
Although we've sent people to clean up these imposters, for the Diabros Cult, these kinds of peripheral members are as numerous as locusts.
No matter how many we eliminate, the imposters of the Diabros Cult still affect our 'Shadow Courtyard' to some extent.
Lord Shadow probably doesn't want the 'Shadow Courtyard' to be disgraced, so he arranged this painful drama with Lord Nightshadow."
As Alpha spoke, Gamma and Beta understood, but Epsilon and Delta still looked confused. So, Beta spoke up, "Don't you remember? Lord Nightshadow's current identity is as a member of the Royal Knight Order.
Lord Nightshadow fighting with his identity as a member of the Royal Knight Order... What would the Diabros Cult, hiding in the shadows, think upon seeing this?"
(Damn, I admit I've been a bit wordy lately, but I don't know why I started rambling. Dog-head reporting in.
