The Shadow Master"s aura began to rise. Catras jumped back and wiped the blood away from his head. The Shadow Master"s shadow began to darken the entire area where the throne room used to be acting as if nighttime had fallen. Suddenly hundreds of copies of the shadow master began to come out of the giant shadow around the Shadow Master's body. All the copies rushed Catras who jumped in the air and forms a giant beam in his hand destroying the beside to the throne room making it fall into the bottomless abyss. Catras spat blood on the ground and landed on the rubble of the throne room with an expression on fury on his face. When he was about to walk away hundreds of black arrows came out of the bottomless abyss. Catras quickly turned around and hardened his skin with his aura. The black arrows penetrate his aura puncturing his skin. Five arrows went in his chest, three went in his lungs, ten went in his neck, and one went in his head. Catras violently crashed on the rubble of the throne room spraying blood all over the place. The Shadow Master jumped out of the bottomless abyss onto the ground. He had blood all over his body. "You are losing this fight Catras_ leader of The Nolans." "I have learned that you are also a puppet." Catras barely could get off the ground. All the black arrows dispersed. I may be a puppet but I am still the rightful leader of all these people." "And I am not about to let some fucking mercenary kill me." Catras then jumped in the air and grabbed Shadow Master by the neck and began to choke him. Shadow Master formed his aura into blades and stabbed Catras with them in the chest. Catras coughed up blood in Shadow Master's face blinding him. Catras then ripped off Shadow Master's right arm and stabbed him with his own left arm. Blood splattered everywhere. Catras then grabbed his head and crushed it like a water ball. The Shadow Master was dead. He then threw his body back into the abyss. Shadow Master's body smacked into the rock beside the cliff. Kay who was in a ship watched from the sidelines the entire time. He was trying to figure a way how to get his money back since Shadow Master was now dead. But three mercenaries remained who had hidden in the shadows waiting for the right time strike. Kay turned around and picked up an experimental gun and loaded it. He stuck it in his gun holder and smiled. He knew Catras would suspect that he had something to with Shadow Master trying to kill him. He then directed the pilot of ship to go back to Nolan City.
Nolan City.
Catras had called a council meeting held in the council room. Catras had changed his clothes and healed his injuries. He then sat down in his chair. In the council, room laid Kay, Kay's bodyguard, Van Buren, the leader of the NightRiders, Yuri, five lieutenants, and the kitchen head chef, Kill. "Someone in this room is a fucking traitorous bastard." "Somebody tried to kill me, but they failed." "If no one confesses in the span of ten minutes, I will have each and every one of you eliminated." Kill stood up and said: "Why would any of us want to kill you?" "I just cook food." "That is all I want to do and that is what I was trained and born to do." Kill sat down and played with his meat cleaver by twirling it in his hand. Catras looked at Yuri who had nothing to say and walked out. She did not want to say anything. Catras knew she had nothing to do with his attempted assassination. Kay smirked and stood up beginning to walk out. Kay sits the fuck down. "No one said you could leave." "How come you did not say anything when Yuri walked out?" Catras stuck his fingernails in his chair getting mad. "Just sit the fuck down." "You will leave when I tell you to leave." "You are my steward I am your leader." "You must follow all my commands."What if I had something to do with your attempted assassination?" Catras began circling his aura and fired a beam at Kay. Van Buren smacked the beam back at Catras who dodged the beam which destroyed the wall behind him. Kay started to laugh. Suddenly more mercenaries with the same type of dangerous guns, rushed into the room pointing their guns at Catras. "Your retirement is coming soon." So this was your plan from the start." "Yes." "I had to work for you for three years." " I hated every fucking minute of it." Catras signaled Kill to kill the mercenaries. Kill ignored him. All five lieutenants also ignored him. Catras tried to rush Kay but Kay quickly pulled out his experimental gun and shot Catras in the chest. He then began to get shocked from the inside burning his insides. Catras collapsed on the ground vomiting up blood. Catras had unlocked the twenty-first level of evolution in his body. Why was some piece of junk was harming him? "If you are wondering I got this gun from Grey one of the Council Of Fate members. "This gun sucks your life energy. Cantras started to turn skinny looking like a dried-up fucking mummy. The electric around him then dispersed. "You are now more useless than a fucking insect." Kay walked up to him and kicked him in the face. Blood poured out his mouth." You are not even worth it." Kay walked out of the council room and left Kill to finish him off. Everyone walked out of the council room. Kill got out of his chair and picked Catras by his arm. Kill was going to chop off his head with his meat cleaver but he decided to spare him. "I do not even know why I am fucking doing this." Kill placed an object in his shirt and threw him out the window making him fall into water.
