Worlds Of Elements
Chapter 22: The Shadow Center

Sasori: "It's no problem. Now come on, we'll discuss something with the others"

Gai: "All right"

Then Sasori and Gai went to discuss something with their other colleagues and they got to the place where they were going to discuss it and they immediately sat down at the place provided.

Gai: "Hello all!"

Tagaki: "You came on time, Gai. How are you doing now? it's getting better, isn't it?"

Gai: "Yes. So, what are we going to discuss here?"

Sasori: "So, you all should have known each other. So Shizu and I decided on a plan that we would do to explore this planet, or what is known as "Jaakuna Wakusei (the Japanese language of Evil Planets or Evil Planets)". And Shizu, you have a good plan"

Hakudan: "I don't like to linger, so what's the plan in question?"

Shizu: "All right. So the plan is, we'll split up again"

Yuro: "Isn't that the same plan as yesterday?"

Shizu: "Yeah. And we're gonna use that plan again because you guys made it with that plan. Although there was one who was too angry because he was said to be making "Blood Tempest" and "Full Blood Moon" simultaneously"

Raphtfumi: "Eheheh, yes sorry"

Guritchi: "Successful? Fft.. Me, Shin, Hakudan, and Tagaki alone almost died even 2 new children died by Senior Kairi to test our mentality only from you!"

Shizu: "God. You guys are lucky that's all his mental testing knows. I, uh, had a worse exam. That is, shoot my own brother. So, don't protest. And this time, we'll pick his team at random"

Gai: "It looks like it's a very good idea"

Then they picked that team at random using "Team Generator" technology that would pick the team at random. And from the "Team Generator" was formed 3 teams. The first team consisted of Guritchi, Shin, Tagaki, and Gai. The second team consists of Yuro, Raphtfumi, Imu, and Hakudan. And the third team, consisting of Shizu, Sasori & True Fallen Creator.

Shizu: "So, here's the team. No need to protest, yes. All right, all of you can now explore the planet with your team"

All (except Sasori): "Alright!"

And the whole team left except the third team. They stayed at the meeting place and have not left.

Sasori: "That's why I remember someone"

Shizu: "At least the insignificant ones. Now come on, let's go explore the planet"

The True Fallen Creator: "Heh! Alright"

And the third team finally went exploring.

Meanwhile on the first team side.

Guritchi: "Alright, it looks like we're getting somewhere huh"

Tagaki: "But what kind of place is this?"

Gai: "Kage no okoku (in Japanese from The Shadow Kingdom or Shadow Kingdom). A place where many shadow power users were. And a very deadly place if you break the laws here"

Shin: "How do you know all that? And how do you know everything about this?"

Gai: "Easy I'm very good at Geography and know a lot about politics all over the place on this "BAD" Planet"

Shin: "That's it. All right, let's see what's here"

And they began to surround the kingdom. Nothing awkward there. But everything changes when there is one person.

NPC 1: "Hey, lazy king! What the law is in this kingdom. Can't interact with people from outside this kingdom?! That's not fair!"

???: "Why indeed? That's a rule I made according to my will. Then in this way, be prepared for condemnation. Kage no kyushu!"

NPC 1: "Hey what's going on? Why is my shadow shrinking. Eh wait, this is not shrinking, but slowly disappearing. No....!"

And the shadow of that person just disappeared. And after the shadow of the man disappeared, he suddenly fainted in the presence of many residents in the kingdom.

Shin: "So that's the punishment in question that you said was very deadly? It seems ordinary"

Gai: "Maybe so. But, there was one deadly thing about it, aka the attack technique issued by the king here. Namely, "Kage no kyushu". The shadow-absorbing moves that the king used to punish the people who broke the laws here. And the people here, they have something different than us. That is, the people in this kingdom are without shadow, just like us without organs and constituent cells"

Tagaki: "Wait a minute, Gai. So you're saying, once they lose their shadow, they'll-"

Gai: "Dead? Yes, but slowly like we still have a few seconds to live after being exposed to something that can kill us. After their shadow is taken, they will faint first and a few seconds later they will die"

Guritchi: "So that's why not break the laws here?"

Gai: "Yes. If you force it to break, it could. But that's what's going to happen"

In the midst of their conversation, suddenly a black projectile came attacking them. Fortunately, they were able to avoid the attack.

Guritchi: "That was almost. Fortunately, we can still avoid it. Uh wait, but somehow the projectile looks weird"

Gai: "Black projectile? Don't-don't... Portal: Damascus tens!"

And Gai's hunch is right. That the black projectile was about to explode and he instantly used the attack technique "Portal: Damaji tenso" and the explosion did not give any effect to all of them and there was one person who was suddenly in pain.

???: "Ouch! But how did he realize that?"

Gai: "Come out wherever you are, Shadow Center"

???: "So you know about me huh? All right, I'll show myself in front of the four of you "

And the man whom Gai called the "Shadow Centre" showed himself before the four of them.

Shin: "My shadow, disappeared? Whoareyou?! And what did you do to my shadow?!"

And Chunshin-pun issued an attack technique called "Kage no wana (Shadow Trap)" and the attack made them all unable to move.

Tagaki: "Trap of the shadow huh? Alright, Erasure Full Armor mode!"

After getting into his "Erasure Full Armor mode" he instantly flew and could escape the shadow trap created by Chunshin and directly shoot him with his Erasure Desert Eagle. But the attack was repelled by Chunshin.

Chunshin: "God! A weak attack!"

Guritchi: "That's how it is. His existence cannot be erased anything. All right, then we erase the information that makes up the entire universe. So, feel it, Glitch: Konpon-tekina sokumen joho o kowase!"

And Guritchi issued his attack technique called "Glitch: Konpon-tekina sukumen joho o kowase" and immediately the information that compilers the entire universe that he was in this world was lost.

Guritchi: "Yes!"

Chunshin: "Kage no kyushu!"

After Chunshin said that, the shadows from Tagaki and Guritchi instantly disappeared. However, Gai's shadow did not disappear, his shadow was still on him.

Gai: "What?! He still exists even though the information composing the entire universe was corrupted so as to make it non-existent? And he still had time to pull out the shadow-absorbing attack technique?"

Chunshin: "God! Cheap attack. After all, I've been beyond the information composing the entire existing universe. So even if you corrupt my information which is one of the compilers of the entire universe. I'll stay. And also, I am the shadow itself. Not metaphorically and that kind of thing. I really am the shadow itself. I am not bound by death because I am a shadow. And I can still exist, because of the existence of that shadow. Now, you're all done. Come on, just give up on you weak humans!"

Gai: "Weak?! Then feel it! Portal: Dimensional Finish!"

And Gai-pun uses his attack technique called "Portal: Dimensional Finish" which brings Chunshin to the artificial dimension of Gai and he is directly tied by a chain made of portals.

Chunshin: "What is this? A chain made of portals? *pierced by 100 knives* Kya...! whahuh? Knives made of portals? And it's 100?"

Gai: "How does it feel, Chunshin? The pain? I-i know. And that's how every citizen including my friends feels that you've absorbed his shadow. So give them all back their shadows"

Chunshin: "Alright! But first, untie the bond you made first and also get me out of this dimension you made!"

Gai: "All right"

And Gai releases the chains he made to bind Chunshin and return her to the original world.

Chunshin: "Well! You were fooled by me. Now you die! Kage no-*gunned* Argh.. "

Gai: "Huh?!"

And after Chunshin died from being shot, all the shadows he had absorbed returned to their origin.

Guritchi: "What?! Heh. Looks like Gai managed to defeat him"

Shin: "Huh? Shadow me back?"

Gai: "Alright. The whole shadow has returned to its place. But, who shot Chunshin?"

???: "Don't worry, man. I shot him, and now he's dead. And finally, Game Clear!"

Gai: "Well? Who the hell are you?"

???: "I'm just a woman who has the power of the Game, my friend. I believe, we'll see each other again, so, bye-bye!"

And the girl just left. Gai was still astonished by the girl.

Gai: "What did that mean?"

Tags: "Hey, Gai. Who are you talking to?"

Gai: "Eh. Now let's continue our journey, friends"

Guritchi: "All right. Come on!"

The four of them left the place. And they continue their journey. After they left the kingdom, there was a man who came and teleported Chunshin to a place with him. And after Chunshin woke up, she wondered why she was still alive.

Chunshin: "Well? Me, still alive? But how can it be?"

???: "I was the one who saved you from that death, Chunshin"

Chunshin: "Who are you?! And why are you trying to save me?"

Era: "Include, my name is Era. The black skull is cunning and has the power of Error. I saved you, because I wanted to get you to work with me and my partner, as a criminal. Ahaha!"

Chunshin: "Then I will accept it! I still want revenge with the man who shot me earlier. By the way, who's your partner?"

Era: "He was the one who was defeated by the person you met. And he was a user of blood power. Introduce, his name is...... Akumas"

Akuma: "Geeh! Nice to meet you, honorable, noble, Chunshin, king of the Kage no okoku, and is the shadow itself"

Seriate...

Next in Chapter 23:

Era: "Alright, because you already know each other. Come on, we'll take them all out!"

Akuma: "Geeh! Hello, Raphtfumi and his friends"

Yuro: "Who are you?! And what are you here for?!"

Akuma: "Have you understood, right? That your blood is important. Without blood, you can't do anything!"

Imu: "And did you not know that the Slime race had no blood? Feel, Daiyamondosuraimupanchi!"

Yuro: "So does the soul race. Because they are just souls without organs, bones, flesh and that kind of thing. Which means we don't have blood. Feel it, Maguma kazan panchi!"
