Chapter 40 - What am I doing

Clank...

His sword clashed with the leg of the queen as he quickly jumped back a few paces to avoid the two subordinates. He started running around with the two advanced grades chasing him. He went in for another strike but the queen blocked it.

He jumped back again as one of the advanced grades appeared in front of him. He quickly swung the sword while tapping into the core's essence creating a strike that hit the spiden and pushed it to the queen's side. He was then grabbed by a toxic web and thrown towards the queen. He maneuvered himself in a weird way to block the queen's attack but the force slammed him into the ground.

He rolled onto his feet and jumped into the air. He then spun the sword in a circular motion towards the queen as a large essence beam flew out and into the queen.

Boom...

An explosion occurred at the queen's location. He saw something move from the corner of his eye and spun around just in time to block a sneak attack from the second advanced grade. He landed as the queen appeared in front of him and started relentlessly trying to slam its leg into him and all he could do was block.

As he kept blocking the queen's attacks the origin core he inserted into the sword started to fluctuate.

He blocked another attack before spinning his body to the side and struck the queen with his sword.

Bang...

Bang...

Two distinct impacts were heard as an explosion occurred directly on the queen's body while at the same time Kage's body slammed into a wall at incredible speeds creating a dust screen.

Multiple illuminated purple slashes flew out of the dust in every direction crushing anything in their paths. Then a large purple beam flew out of the dust and slammed straight into the queen pushing her back a little.

"What the hell am I doing? This isn't me. Pull yourself together Kage. This isn't how you fight. Fight like how you always do. Fight like how Father taught you. Fight like an apparition!!!" Kage yelled as a large force cleared the dust.

Kage looked different. Both his cloak and sword had turned bright purple. The origin core socketed into his sword seemed to pulse with new power as Kage seemed to have awakened. He had essence for a reason and he was going to use it.

Boom...

He disappeared and clashed with the queen. They traded strikes for a while then he moved to the side avoiding a charging advanced grade before stabbing it with a large shadow pillar followed by multiple spikes to pin it to the ground.

Bang...

The queen slammed him away from its side with one of its legs as something slammed into a wall kicking up some dust.

Kage kicked the queen with enough force to push it towards the wall opposite where he came from. He then spun around and stabbed his sword into the face of the second advanced grade before flinging it to the side.

The dust settled to reveal that the thing that slammed into the wall was the leg the queen had used to try and attack Kage.

The queen dashed forward but had its speed reduced by quite a bit compared to before.

Boom...

Kage met the queen and slammed it back into the wall it just crawled out of as he started striking at its tough hide multiple times with all his might. Soon the queen started bleeding from its back but Kage wouldn't relent.

A large web flew towards Kage but got destroyed when it was close enough.

Smash...

The sound of broken glass echoed as the bound advanced grade broke free from the shadows albeit with very heavy injuries.

Kage came to a stop as the injured advanced grade spiden crashed into him and the queen which caused a large part of the already damaged wall to explode sending debris everywhere.

Bang...

Bang...

Bang...

Something flew out of the chaos as the sound of clashing reverberated.

When that something hit the ground it split into two pieces as it was revealed to be the body of the advanced grade spiden that crashed into Kage.

A large collection of spiden webs pushed Kage quite a distance back from his original location. In seconds the queen was by his side as he effortlessly destroyed the web and clashed with the queen.

Suddenly the queen jumped back as the second advanced grade slammed into Kage and continued trying to push him away.

Boom...

A loud explosion sounded as the spiden was sent into the wall near the entrance. Kage then gathered a large amount of shadow energy beneath his feet to create multiple shadow tentacles to swarm the queen.

As the shadow tentacles swarmed the queen Kage dashed towards the advanced grade he had thrown away while mentaining focus.

Bang...

Boom...

Kage swung his sword into that spiden's face as a large explosion sounded a second later killing that spiden.

He felt himself lose connection to three shadow tentacles as he withdrew the rest. All constructs created by Kage were done using the shadows he had stored. With Kage's essence he could change the shape of a shadow for a purpose but once he stopped applying essence the returned back to their original forms. If a shadow was destroyed while in a different shape it would just turn to essence and disappear.

Kage looked at the injured queen with a large smile on his face.

A large wave of essence exploded as from the depths of Kage's shadow multiple high grade spiden shadows rose around him. The two shadows from the two defeated Advanced grade spiden rose from their respective bodies as they went to stand by Kage.

Kage pointed his sword at the queen and charged up a large amount of essence within it.

He sent a large sword strike towards the queen as his entire collection ran towards the queen and started tearing her apart after the explosion of the sword strike.
