Chapter 20 - Trial - IV

"Hehe. Finally, you realize who's your opponent"

Sheena evilly smiled. As, her voice changed like a monster and their place covered by a dark shadow. 

Kim Shin, shivered at the different voice of Sheena. As, he found that they are seems like in a different dimension. 

Watching, Sheena evilly smiled and transforming into an unknown creäture. 

Sheena's pale skin slowly cracked and one by one peel off to the ground. As, the 10 foot tall black shadow monster appeared. 

The appearance of the shadow monster seems like a priest. Because, it was armed with a big black staff, clad with a long priest robe with a mysterious pendant on its neck. 

"For you to have a steel of mind is really admirable. No, it's almost impossible achievement. You died for 99 times and you didn't go crazy. It's really unbelievable!"

The shadow priest seriously said. As, it admired Kim Shin unbelievable feats. 

"Who are you?"

Kim Shin asked while frowning.

"Me? You will come to know at the right time"

The shadow priest answered mysteriously.

"The current you, doesn't have enough authority to learn more about me. Still, congratulations for reaching the final test"

The Shadow Priest, congratulate Kim Shin.

"Final Test?"

Kim Shin asked curiously. 

"Yes, the initial test is how long can you keep your self sane. And, I was truly surprised that you managed to last until the end. But, don't be conceited yet. You still have to pass the final test"

The Shadow Priest answered. As, it suddenly changed to Kim Shin appearance. 

"This is your last test, defeat YOURSELF!" 

The Shadow Priest loudly announced. As, it quickly rushed to Kim Shin. 

Back to his original appearance, Kim Shin also pounced straight to face his other self head on.

Kim Shin and the Shadow Kim Shin threw a right punch to each other face at the same time. 

*BAM!*

The impact forced Kim Shin to stepped backward twice. However, The Shadow Kim Shin only stepped back once. 

'Damn'

Kim Shin cursed. 

Despite of the visible different in their power, Kim Shin immediately delivered another left punch to Shadow Kim Shin. 

But, The Shadow Kim Shin also didn't hesitate to make a left jab to Kim Shin face. 

*BAM!*

Hit at the same time, the same previous result happened once again.

'Okay, it's enough for me to know that this other me is surely stronger than my current strength'

Realizing that he would down early if he continue fighting like this. Kim Shin jumped backward to make a distance. 

But, The Shadow Kim Shin, didn't let Kim Shin have a chance to get a distance. It immediately rushed at Kim Shin. 

Fortunately, Kim Shin knew his own attacking style. So, he managed to moved his head a little to left and successfully evaded the straight punch of the Shadow Kim Shin. 

'Followed by uppercut'

Kim Shin thought. As, he made a backflip to dodge the coming uppercut of Shadow Kim Shin. 

In the midst of his backflip, Kim Shin threw a simple kick to the Shadow Kim Shin's chin. As, he pushed his hand on the ground to bounce his body and get more distance.

The Shadow Kim Shin, didn't have any emotion even after it got kicked on the chin. But, it stopped its movement and only silently watch Kim Shin. 

Standing at a 5-meter distance away from the Shadow Kim Shin. His mind was rapidly thinking for any techniques or tricks to use to defeat his shadow. 

While in deep thought, Kim Shin didn't lower his guard. He still focus his eyes on his shadow and he saw that the Shadow Kim Shin mumbled something. 

Suddenly a small white ball of light appeared at Shadow Kim Shin mouth and with a 'whoosh' the ball of light speed through Kim Shin. 

Kim Shin tried to evade the white light. But, it was really fast for him. It pierced through his forehead. 

A sudden dizziness felt by Kim Shin.

He carefully looked at his whole body. However, he can't find any wrong on his body except the mild dizzy feeling.

'What's that?'

Kim Shin curiously thought.

He didn't know what is the effect of that light. But, he knew that there's something wrong. 

Without any idea about what just happened. Kim Shin focus his attention to the Shadow Kim Shin.

Staring at the Shadow, Kim Shin decided to initiate the attack. 

He quickly advance to Shadow Kim Shin. As, Kim Shin moved he saw the Shadow Kim Shin also move like him. 

With a fast movement, they instantly reached each other. 

And with a wonderful movements, Kim Shin and the Shadow made a roundhouse kick at the same time. 

*BANG!*

'Ugh!'

Kim Shin groaned. As, he dropped safely on the ground.

Despite of the pain he felt. Kim Shin immediately made another roundhouse kick and sweeping kick that easily copied by the Shadow Kim Shin. 

*BAM!* * BAM!*

Kim Shin backed in pain. 

'Its copying my movements?..AH!'

Kim Shin thought. As, he exclaimed.

'The white light!'

Kim Shin finally realized what's the effect of that white light. 

"Copying my every movements.."

Kim Shin murmured. 

He's not completely sure yet. So, Kim Shin decided to make another series of attack.

REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE KICK

CRESCENT KICK

CALF KICK

SWEEPING KICK

After a combo's of kick, Kim Shin was already gasping for air. 

'Huff.. Huff.. I'm at my limit... what should I do?'

Kim Shin anxiously thought.

'I can't failed right now'

He's getting weaker by every second. Kim Shin knew that he will die. If, he didn't find a way to defeat the Shadow Kim Shin. 

"For me to die once more, I'm really numb to death now"

Kim Shin mumbled. As, he continue finding a single flaw in the Shadow Kim Shin attacks. 

"Am I gonna die by my copycat hands?.. AH!"

In the midst of his mumbling, he suddenly exclaimed loudly in realization. 

With a crazy thought running through his mind. 

Kim suddenly jump in the air that quickly copied by his shadow. 

'I'm being masochist'

In the air, Kim Shin easily spin 180 degrees. As, he bent his head backwards, put all his weight on his shoulder, and let his forehead slammed on the ground that idiotic copied by the Shadow Kim Shin. 

*BANG!* *CRACKED*

The ground trembled. As, Kim Shin neck cracked by the impact and died.
