Extra And MC-Chapter 152 - 148 - Frying Pan To Fire
With another roaring battle cry, the Abyssal Shadowmaw instantly raised up and evenly spread apart its spike-clubbed nine-tails.
-Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
Instantly, a hail of dangerously sharp, dark spikes populated the view of the two youths as it rained on them with deadly precision.
-Swoosh! Swoosh!
Dashing apart with a speed that made it hard for the naked eye to trace, Flynn and Aiden darted left and right respectively, narrowly evading the hail of lethally dangerous spikes.
"Tch! And that’s just the beginning!" Aiden muttered to himself as his speedy dash gradually slowed down.
Now running as fast as they could on both ends as the rain of deadly spikes separated and chased them relentlessly, both brothers soon found themselves running almost full-circle around the room.
Now in close proximity of the large-creature, both of them dashed again simultaneously as the exact same time, their weapons swinging downwards and ready to land a lethal strike.
-Twoosh!
But as if was working to undermine their efforts, Aiden and Flynn watched as multiple big long tendrils of ominous dark-purple energy shot up from the ground in the fraction of a second.
Grabbing the legs of the two brothers in an instant, even though they sensed it coming with mana sense, the almost sentient tendrils of ominous energy, twirled both brothers in a loop-de-loop manner and flung them backwards like a broken kite.
Not wanting to crash painfully into the unforgiving metallic walls of the wide room they were in, both brothers repositioned themselves at mid-air and landed gracefully on the ground while skidding backwards.
Relentlessly after them, they watched as the Abyssal Shadowmaw instantly created an ominous dark slit in space and time and immediately jumped through.
Instantly, the dark slit reappeared right in front of the youths who were still stabilizing their footing in the fraction of a second, the claws of its giant paws appearing out of the slit first and poised to strike along with the rest of its body.
-Twash!
Swinging its giant claws at them with no mercy, it’s deadly precision unmatched, Aiden instantly jumped upwards while Flynn performed an instantaneous barrel roll forwards.
-Kranggg!!!
The large and dangerously sharp claws of the horrific beast, dug into the metallic walls like hot knife through butter, creating a screeching loud, metallic sound.
Having narrowly evaded the fatal attacks by the skins of their teeth, both youths instantly tried to give themselves a substantial distance from the dark creature with another dash.
But, seemingly having its intelligence increase by a few more points due to the complete fusion of all the previous shadowmaws, the giant creature executed an instantaneous spin.
-Bam! Bam!
Instantly, the long and dangerous tails of the Abyssal Shadowmaw mercilessly moved at a blur to smack the youths away before they could completely escape.
This, once again, caused the youths to be on the defense.
Unwilling to have themselves painfully hit no matter what, the Aiden and Flynn swiftly used their weapons to mitigate some of the impact of the powerful hit while their battle suits handled the rest.
-Clang! Clang!
Skidding backwards again while digging their weapons into the concrete flooring to kill off the momentum, Aiden instantaneously dash forwards like a speeding bullet.
-Twoom!
As he did, the youth simultaneously called out to his brother.
"Flynn! Cover me!"
"Roger that!" Flynn replied immediately while activating {Twilight Waltz}.
"OUUWHOOOO!!!"
Letting out an eerie battle cry that imitated the howling of a wolf, the giant Shadowmaw lunged at Aiden without mercy while simultaneously controlling its ominous tendrils of dark-purple energy.
-Swish! Swish! Swish!
Appearing in and out like a mirage of sorts, Flynn covered for his brother’s open defense while slicing through and destroying the tendrils before they even got to him.
Aiden on the other hand, had his sights solely set on the howling beast ahead of him that was intent on killing them.
Watching as the giant gaping maw of the creature neared his head in the fraction, Aiden executed an instant sideways heel spin at a blurring speed.
Narrowly evading the snapping jaw of the beast who thought it had already chomped off his head, the youth ensured to capitalize on the tight opening that was provided to him.
’{Berserker Art – Second Form: Counterstance}’
The world instantly slowed down to a halt and Aiden simultaneously released three omnidirectional slashes with the same sideways spin, the powerful attacks lethally digging past the furs and straight into the body of the giant beast.
-Slash! Twash! Fwash!
As a bit of surprise appeared in the eerily-dark eyes of the Abyssal Shadowmaw whose body immediately shrunk a few centimeters down in size due to Aiden’s attack, Flynn appeared right overhead the large beast as he blinked back into existence.
Reacting as fast as it could, the beast aimed its open maws at Flynn, a churning ball of dark-purple energy swirling and churning violently in the depths of its throat.
-Fwooooosh…
-Twoom!!!
Releasing the disastrous blast at the slowly descending youth, Flynn instantaneously switched to the first form of his weapon art.
’{Moonveil Art – First Form: Severance}-!’
Responding in kind to the oncoming attack, the pale blue arc of energy that emitted from the youths descending slash, instantly collided with the powerful dark-purple ray of energy!
-Booommm!!
However, surprisingly, Flynn’s {Severance} came out on top as it cleaved through the ominous rays of energy, fatally splitting the Abyssal Shadowmaw into two symmetrically perfect halves.
-Kaccchhh!!!
All of this happened within literal seconds!
But even then, the dark creature instantaneously reattached itself in the blink of an eye, although, once again, it’s size had clearly reduced even further.
"RAAARRRGHHH!!!" the creature roared in pain as it completed its reattachment.
’As expected!’ Flynn thought to himself while landing with a strong thud.
That was one disadvantage the shadowmaws had once they fused to form an Abyssal Shadowmaw.
Although they would drastically jump from B-rank to S-rank using their second phase’s fusion, they would also lose the ability to instantly reattach without issues.
Instead in their much larger form, due to their increased surface area, one shadowmaw’s core is sacrificed for the reattachment of their severed limbs or a fatal attack.
So, if the Abyssal Shadowmaw kept piling up more fatal attacks, it would then continuously keep shrinking in size until only one core was left.
By then though, the creature would have become a shadow of its former self, smaller than even the average shadowmaw.
At the same time too, as the creature gradually kept shrinking in size, so too would the strength of its attack power.
That was also the reason why Flynn’s {Severance} had won against the ominously dark-purple rays, an aftereffect of Aiden’s previous omnidirectional slash attack.
Now, upon realizing it was severely at a disadvantage, the tables flipped in an instant, the Abyssal Shadowmaw immediately created another dark slit and jumped through it to retreat.
Reappearing at the far end of the room in an instant, the creature bolstered its defenses by having the dark-purple tendrils of energy surrounding it while simultaneously also firing a hail of multiple dangerous spike again.
-Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!

This time however, Aiden wasn’t having any of the large creature’s bullshit and instantly, dashed towards the oncoming rain of projectiles!
Getting within close range of the creature just as its projectile were about to mercilessly riddle his body with holes, the youth swiftly used the first form of his own weapon art with an internal roar.
’{Berserker Art – First Form: Whirlwind Slash}-!!’
-Vwoooossshhh!!!
Like a bolt from the blue, a massive tornado with a dark-reddish hue to it instantly formed with Aiden at the epicenter of it.
The entire walls of the expansively large room powerfully vibrated with a quaking intensity and some of the fluorescent lightbulbs instantly went out of commission.
But more than that, all the spikes fired from the Abyssal Shadowmaw, was pulled towards the tornado, swirled around, and in the fraction of a second, redirected right back at the creature.
Having reached S-rank, Aiden’s control over the tornado the first form of his weapon art usually formed had significantly increased and now, things like this were possible without him breaking a sweat.
Watching as its own attacks were now being turned against it, the Abyssal Shadowmaw immediately tried to use its dark-purple tendrils of energy to protect itself.
But unfortunately for it, the spikes were far too many for it to fully protect itself and instead, the dangerously lethal spikes turned on its creator and riddled the body of the large beast with holes in an especially brutal manner.
-Kach! Kach! Kach!
As this was happening the creature continuously kept letting out howls and roars of agonizing pain and at the same time, its humongous size gradually reduced.
This went on for about a minute until the last spike left, pierced through its body.
As the Abyssal Shadowmaw, which was now a mere pathetic shadow of its former appearance, whimpered and cried out in pain, all while knowing fully well it’s death was imminent, Flynn appeared like a thin wave of pale blue hue before it.
-Fwoosh…
The appearance of the youth’s katana, akin to a flowing wave of water, indicated he was now using his weapon art’s second form.
Gazing below to stare at the pitiful shadowmaw who looked just like the size of the average wolf in reality, struggling and trying to get up, the youth apathetically finished the job.
-Kach!
The neck of the beast was cleanly severed from its body and instantly, it vanished into dark and purplish dust-like particles.
’That’s that.’ Flynn thought to himself, his bloodlust still very much in effect and his emotions still quite numb.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Aiden was about walk over to his younger brother when suddenly, both he and Flynn heard the sound of a metallic door opening.
-Whirrr…
-Clank!
Slowly turning their heads over, Aiden and Flynn genuinely cursed inwardly with all of their beings this time.
’Ah fuck!’
Although they knew there was a strong possibility of this happening, they had wished it would’ve happened much later.
-Clap…
-Clap…
-Clap…
Slowly walking over to them, covered in blood from head to toe whilst also clapping, Magnus soon let out a wicked grin while speaking and retrieving his weapons.
"Well, well, well…"
"We meet again brats!"
