Amidst the fierce battle, Shinon had been entirely focused on dispatching Aric's soldiers. But amid the chaos, something unexpected happened.
A powerful force shoved him aside, sending him tumbling through the air. Shinon managed to regain his balance, landing gracefully on his feet. Confusion clouded him as he tried to understand what had just occurred.
It couldn't have been an ordinary attack, or [Combat instinct] would have saved him. But if someone's attack could surpass his instincts, then he could be in trouble.
As he looked up, His eyes widened in disbelief as he saw it. A tendril, much like his own shadowy extensions, hover before him.
But it wasn't like his shadow tendrils; this one was composed of swirling, ethereal, translucent air. It rippled and danced similarly to Shinon's Shadowy tentacles.
"Who...?" Shinon thought, and his eyes immediately went to Aric.
