'Once you do that and the fireball landed on the ground. The resulting impact will surely shower you with it's remnant fire. Aslong as one of them hit you, it will be enough.'
'There's also a high probability that your just acting and then will moved somewhere far to avoid my fire ball. But who am I? I am Juan II! I just want to hit you! And lit you on fire!'
'It doesn't matter if I hit you or not! For me! This little risk is not worth mentioning as long I can understand and find everything you can do with your change in size.'
Yes, in order to see if the shadow monster despite it's size could really still move fast as always. Juan doest care if he exhausted himself in the process.
'As for what to do after that? I'll shall rest for a bit under the cover of my sea of fire and recover first naturally before fighting once again.'
However, contrary to what Juan has thought. The shadow monster actually didn't evade nor moved away!
"No way! You actually want to embrace your weakness? You'll get incinerated you know? Don't blame me for not telling you!"
What happened next made Juan raised an eyebrow. The shadow monsters opened mouth like shaped on it's center body.
Inside was a shadow ball the same size as the fire ball coming for their life. In the next instant, the shado ball blasted out and met the fireball in mid-air.
Juan was amazed at how intelligent the shadow monster's counter was.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! This too amazy! What a marvelous counter! To make use of my fire ball to make a shadow ball and make them collide."
"As expected of you! You actually has a good brain in fighting isn't it! Ah! What beautiful flame! Too bad, it's not enough to cover the ground and sky."
Fire burns the shadow ball into another fire ball causing the dark clouds in the sky to blazed asunder.
Bang!
When the two house size fire ball collided, naturally, an explosion happened. Seeing this, Juan actually smiled more and more crazily.
"Unfortunately, even if you can stop it for now. The resulting impact will just scatter the remnants fire debris around. You still won't be able to escape your destruction!"
That's right, the monster might be smart to copy Juan's move. However, it didn't know what will happen next when a fireball exploded.
Fire debris and heat shockwave burst out from the explosion, falling like hailstorm upon the ground and unto the aggregation of countless shadows.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shadow monster, after condensing that shadow ball has become a few tens of meters shorter.
However, with it's overall height and size, losing a few shadows is nothing. However, it's red circled eyes right now seems to be jumping in panic.
Juan saw the opportunity and immediately forced himself to condense two shadow balls and lit them on fire before he throws them all into the shadow monster's side.
"Let's see if you can escape this time! Yeah grow bigger and don't move. Be my easy target and show me a much more brighter flame!"
Without stopping, Juan condensed more and more shadow ball, and lit them in fire before throwing them all like a cannon ball towards the mountain shadow monster's side.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fire spread around, like a ferocious wolf that has not eaten for days suddenly smelled the fragrance of blood.
The shadows on the ground crawling towards the mountain shadow monster suddenly turn ablazed after a remnant fire ball hit it's face.
Boom!
It looks like the sun has exploded and the sky was raining it's punishment unto it's unfilial children.
The shadow monster wanted to move, however, it's not about the size that was hindering it from escaping.
Instead, it was the countless shadows around it that was forcing it to stand by and continue to grow bigger by becoming one.
The shadows on the grounds won't let it go, while the shadows in the sky was firmly pushing it down and accept it's population.
It wanted to wriggled down wanting to disband the mountain body it has accumulated. It's weakness and fire of fire wss consuming it's reason to think clearly.
Instead, the shadow monster's instinct was gradually rising and overtaking the control of its huge body.
It's body that contains countless thoughts of other shadow monster.
How could it's thought that was just a little stronger than it's other shadow monster fought back in face of thousands if not hundred thousands?
Juan saw this and was immediately showed an ecstatic expression.
"Ha ha ha ha, I see, I understand it now! You want to escape, but it seems the shadow monsters that you command around you wouldn't want to let you go!"
"Ha ha ha ha, after all, you are the main body! The mother of the innumerable shadows in this land! You are their sanctuary!"
"In face of this calamity, only by being with you can they feel safe! That's why they didn't want you to leave them! Your stuck! You can't move! Ha ha ha!"
In the next moment, Juan raised his palms once again and pulled almost all the remaining smokey shadows around his body into a huge shadow ball above.
A huge shadow ball the same size as the previous house size one floated above Juan's palm. Fire lit below, and soon swallowed the whole ball into fire.
"Go! This is my last shot! If you can still survive this one, then I'll declare my loss. But if I win, I hope you can show me the worlds greatest blaze in history!"
Flush!
With all his remaining strength and consciousness, Juan II stepped forward and throwed the huge fireball as glaring and scorching as the sun to chaotic shadow monster.
"Unfortunately, shadows don't talk. If they can, you would surely be screaming in despair by now. He he he."
Plop.
Losing all his strength, Juan was overcome by weakness and painful feeling all over his body. More on his burned skin that was still smoking out.
"Losing the protection of the shadow. Well, it's normal to get burn. After all, I'm too near such fire....ha ha ha...still, I'm alive. Ah~ I'm getting sleepy..."
The fatigue of losing all his strength, even opening his eyes and thinking seems to be too much to be done.
However, Juan II didn't want to closed his eyes and passed out. He still want to see the result of this battle against the fantasy creature of this land.
From the corner of his eyes, despite his face kissing the earth with his fragmented burned skin. Juan II still used his tenacious crazy will to looked up.
"... ah...this....this....so beautiful."
That was the last murmured that resound in his ears, heart and mind at this moment.
In front of him, what reflect his eyes was a bright sun crushing the world with it's scorching blaze and heat.
The shadow monster has long since dancing inside the flame, dying and becoming fuel to the blaze themselves.
Along with the ground, the sky, and horizon. The shadows that connect to the mountain shadow monster from afar, even underground wasn't spared.
The fire was like a snake that slithered its way where the food were in abundance. Swallowing everything, and yet burning more fiercely and bigger than the others.
The blazing heat spread out into heatwaves and burst like a tsunami, unto the land. Coloring the sky, snd ground with it's purplish-pink light.
The heat waves arrived, Juan along with the remaining houses in the villages and the villagers huddled together with Bal and the others wasn't spared.
All of them were blasted by the impact causing not minimal burns in skin and hair loss, but also torn muscles and scorched flesh.
This time, the fire covered the whole land into it's light and magnificence.
The once mountain like shadow monster has already been incinerated down to just a few meters in size.
The reason it can still survive still now wss because it was huge and has more shadows than the others. The flames can't immediately convert all the fuels into fire.
However, it won't take long for it's life to end.
Still, could a monster that controls the shadows and the shadow itself, a smart and cunning one that had live for how many yesrs, enjoyed ultimate power and fear from all living beings just watch itself die?
The answer is no.
And now that it has no more restrictions that holds it. The shadow monster disregard everything and suddenly, swimmed passed the blaze.
Even when the shadow monster could feel the burning pain of it's existence being slowly get peeled off this world. It didn't gave up and continue.
When it entered the place that should have been the village. The tens of meters size has already worn down to just an almost basket ball size.
Still, it didn't gave up and searched around. At that toy, at that human it thrice played upon.
When the shadow person it once sent to hunt this human died. As the main body, it naturally caught some glimpse of what happened next.
A seconds after, just when it was just but almost two finger nails in size was left around.
It finally saw that crazy human almost unrecognizable in his current appearance—Juan.
Without hesitations, it dove down and entered the place in between the brows where the entrance to the mind is located.
