When the dagger made of shadows pierced into the lower back of 'Blood Shadow's Thorn' Renock, the Assassin Master was exhilarated.
Because the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
His two opponents had finally taken the bait.
He could hardly restrain himself from laughing out loud.
Ever since Eivor appeared, he had been waiting for this moment.
Waiting for Eivor to use his shadow to assassinate him.
He would go with the flow.
And then?
Of course, he would counterattack directly.
But almost immediately, the Assassin Master sensed something amiss.
Because——
Pain!
His body, modified by shadows, was supposed to be immune to pain.
Or rather...
When facing an invasion from his own shadow, he was immune.
Not only immune, but he could also counter the opponent.
After attacking the secret base of 'Shadowflow' and obtaining a large number of 'Shadowflow' secret techniques, this Assassin Master had been pondering how to counter 'Shadowflow' backlash.
