US shadow

white.. that's what alan saw in 360° he looked after himself entering one of the 30 doors that appeared. the door that alan used to enter this place disappeared after alan set foot perfectly in this place.

[player will undergo a test to become an oread guardian.player can leave the exam site after successfully completing the exam or failing the exam. Death in the exam is considered a failure in the exam. death penalty does not apply in this exam.]

alan was a little relieved after hearing the system notification that the death penalty would not apply in this place.not just alan was afraid of losing 10 levels if he died, he said, alan is more worried about the revolutionary forces along with clara and freya. if they die in the test, it will be very troublesome for alan. especially the loss of freya and clara.

alan's surroundings instantly turned into a fighting arena after the system notification sounded.alan found himself in a corner of a room the size of a football field.The sky looked dark, the floor was a tile floor. but what attracted alan the most was someone who stood on the opposite side of alan.

the clothes of the person are all dark, the person wears a robe that is the same shape as alan, only the color is black. his hair is exactly the same as alan. alan can be very sure if the person is a man.alan tried to approach the man, to ascertain what kind of person alan believes will be his opponent in this test.

[US shadow.]

alan was aghast at the data displayed by the joker for the man.he saw that the man before him was a shadow of himself. the only difference is the clothes and eyes.Alan has normal eyes like people in general, while the shadow alan has eyes that are all jet black.

"why? surprised?" shadow AS asked alan.

"i didn't think the test was like this." alan tilted his lips to form a small smile.alan was very confident that he would be able to face his own shadow.

"don't be overconfident before trying it." a dirty smile is no less than a smile coming out of the lips of the U. S. shadow.

alan was certainly more aghast, he did not think shadow US could know his way of thinking. "don't be surprised like that. I am you, so I know all about you." said shadow AS once again that made alan even more surprised.

"so.. can we start?" shadow US provokes alan.

"i'm afraid you won't say that word and give up immediately." alan immediately pulled his short sword and dagger.

thangs...

shadow AS managed to block alan's sword slash perfectly. With the same attributes, the shadow AS was not affected would be at all the power that alan had. his attack was perfectly fielded, completely, alan pointed the dagger he held in his left hand at the heart of the US shadow, trying to end this fight as quickly as possible.

thangs...

alan's dagger hit the US shadow gauntlet. "not bad.." a small smile of US shadow appeared at the corner of his lips.

shadow AS replied to alan by throwing a kick into the stomach alan. alan who was still in the air, had no other choice but to use his shadowing skill to avoid a kick from the US shadow. "wow... your mainstay technique comes right out." murmured US shadow.

alan instantly appeared on the other side of the US shadow, once again his sword targeting the neck of the US shadow.

slashwas...

alan slashes only cut through the air, US shadow also used the shadowing skill to avoid the alan. US shadow slashes reappeared behind alan, this time it was the turn of the US shadow sword that targeted alan's neck.

thangs...

"imitator.." alan smiled victorious when his sword bis deflected the US shadow attack perfectly.The exchange of attacks between the two continued up to dozens of times.Alan occasionally used shadowing skills to outwit the US shadow, as well as the exchange of attacks between the two, but US shadow can also always outwit alan with the same shadowing skill.

"we can do this all day if you want.." the smile of victory is depicted on the face of the U. S. shadow must admit, he was annoyed to have to fight his own shadow in this test. not only did his shadow have the same skills and attributes, the AS shadow seemed to know the path of thought and the flow of alan attacks.

"i don't mind..."

"the critical wind spear!"

"the critical wind spear!"

the two wind spears clashed in the middle of the alan and the US shadow. created a wave of wind between the two of them, but alan used the wind waves to launch an impromptu attack on the US shadow. alan believes the US shadow will not count if alan launches an impromptu attack.

"shadow stab!"

thangs...

thong...

"fucking..want to when like this?" just this time alan felt frustrated facing the opponent, which is a shadow of himself. indeed as his father said before, the biggest enemy of someone is himself. You must be able to defeat yourself to be strong. alan experienced for himself this time what his father used to say.

"hahaha.. why? you surprised?" shadow AS laughed as he charged towards alan. "again.." shadow AS seemed to enjoy the fight between him and alan, alan was increasingly cornered due to the US shadow attack blindly.

"shadow step!"

alan increased his agility to be able to surpass the U. S. shadow, but the U. S. shadow also did not miss, he also activated the shadow step. his speed and alan returned the same.

alan's condition is not beneficial for him. Alan's body has been tired because of the effects of a long fight with guardian golems and thunder eagle. slowly but surely, the hidden attribute of alan's stamina decreased. alan's brain performance began to slow down, as a result alan movement began to decline slightly.

in contrast to alan, the US shadow is the alan shadow created by the system. The system only imitates the attributes displayed, not including with the hidden attributes.The US shadow can begin to give wounds to alan's body.

"why? what's wrong with you? where's your arrogant smile that you just displayed?" shadow AS laughed contentedly to land a deep enough wound on alan's chest.

alan could only retreat while enduring the pain to keep his distance from the US shadow. alan focused on the wound on his chest until he did not observe the movement of the US shadow.

"shadow stab!"

jamb...

a stab in Alan's heart stopped alan's step back. Alan held his left chest which was now being pierced by a dagger that alan usually used to penetrate his opponent's heart.

"it's a pity that our fight got here. when I just started enjoying it." whispers from the US shadow being the last word alan heard from the US shadow. alan's body turned into white light particles and disappeared from the place of the fight.

alan's vision was dark, and he could only see again after a few seconds.he found the throne room where he was. "fuck it.." alan hit the floor under his feet, resentment piled up on his chest.being defeated by himself, that meant that alan was not yet strong enough at this moment.

"what's the US?" the question of the shoote sun made alan take his eyes off the floor he hit earlier.

alan finds out that shoot sun, freya and the revolutionary forces have returned to the throne room. "it's okay."

"it's just an in-game test. don't think about it. We all fail here too." shoote sun tried to entertain alan who seemed very thoughtful about his failure.

alan just nodded, for the sun shoot might it be an in-game test, but for alan the test was a real fight between alan and himself. "i have to become even stronger!" alan in the heart.

"where are clara and jonta?" alan tried to forget his defeat just now.

"they're still on the test."

not long after, jonta and clara returned to the throne room.Their faces both seemed to be serialized, as if they had just received a lottery draw.

"sister. I did it.." show off clara to alan with passion.

"i'm also the big brother of the U. S.." jonta was no less excited.

"nicely, at least some of us have succeeded."

after the appearance of clara and jonta ground where they stood again vibrated.a white light descended from the middle of the sky of the room.in the middle of the light there was a sword with a golden handle.
