Lord Shadow

MARTIN VAZ, BRAZIL

Zzzz!

The sound of sizzling electricity that seems so ear deafening in the beginning of the battle now sound so weak.

Weak and lifeless, like it is on the brink of extinguishing

Slumped and leaning onto a half sliced boulder is a man. Swirling around his entire being is purple lightning.

Around him Time and Space distorted but as he grows weaker the distortions around him seem to grow weaker.

He clearly has seen better days. He is on his last breath

‘Uhuk, Uhuk!’

Will coughed a lump of blood from his chest; his hand is grabbing his chest because of the pain. Each movement from his body is painful and requires a lot of effort.

His internal organs are all in a mess, and blood is pouring from his eyes and his ears.

His hand and feet is trembling and his face is full of deep scratches and his body is full of terrible wounds and holes.

If not for his speed regeneration he would have long been dead

‘Fuck’ he cursed as he tries to wipe the blood coming out from his mouth. But he found out that he did not even have the energy to move his hand up.

He laughed bitterly.

The lightning around his body also almost seems to be diminished and does not seems so powerful like in the beginning.

‘I should have straight up inform Azief the moment I saw her. I should not have chase her’ he coughed for another round and his eyes is slowly losing consciousness.

Not too far away from him he could see a woman in a position just like him. That woman is also slump and is leaning weakly onto another half sliced boulder.

Purple blood streamed down from her wound and her mangled arms. The woman face is full of scars and traces of lightning and time energy that forces the wounds to keep bleeding.

Her eyes is full of images of matrixes, runes of the Asgardians, and hieroglyphics and her body is surrounded by a weird energy

Even though Will had done his utmost and uses even Speed Source to delay the regeneration of that woman, it is clear that is not enough.

She only sneers in disdain looking at him.

‘This is the second time we met. Last time you were running from me and had your friend to save you. Now, we are alone, you and me.’

And she laughed. Even when her body is damaged until this point she could still talk and revel in the misery of his enemies.

Will smile bitterly.

After he found the temple he thought his power has increased. Well, he was not wrong. What he didn’t expect that she also increased in power.

This woman is none other than Sithulran the most wanted fugitive in the world.

This woman is also the one who beat Raymond, Hikigaya and Oreki to a pulp and force Loki to suffer such a setback.

Then as Will is breathing hardly on the verge of dying, the woman triangle shaped mark in her forehead dimmed.

She smiles confidently and then life force energy burst out from her, healing all of her injuries in matter of seconds.

She slowly got up and cracks her neck. Smiling maliciously she said

‘Let us continue! I am still not satisfied’ She said and there is killing intent in her voice as she takes her step slowly towards Will.

Will is breathing slowly and slowly, and harder and harder it became. His breathing now almost sounded like a grunt now.

Like a whimper before death

His vision is slowly getting blur and he knows he is about to lose his consciousness.

He smiles bitterly before he was reminded how he arrived here in an island in the middle of nowhere.

***

A FEW HOURS BEFORE

He tackles Sithulran. That is what he did when he saw Sithulran is just inches away from piercing Katarina heart.

They tangled in a vortex of space and Time before he punches Sithulran with the speed of sound concentrated in his fist which crack her skulls and force her back.

She nods at him and they both quickly attack Sithulran together.

Katarina then completed the attack with a sword slash energy that frozen anything hit by it. Sithulran barely escaped that slash as she jump just at the last minutes.

But that energy still got a hold of Sithulran left arm. She decisively cut off her own left arm with her right hand

She then flew away. And he? Before he knew it, he pushes his feet forward and the Speed Source fills his body.

And then he became the lightning and chases her.

A purple lightning chases over a golden blur.

One on the sky, the other on the ground, as bolt of lightning sometimes shoots out from the purple lightning targeting the golden blur.

Will when he is running his body inadvertently gather kinetic energy. He uses that to his advantage and transforms it into bolts of lightning.

His bolt of lightning and Oreki bolt of lightning is different in nature. A Speedsters lightning contains the energy of Time and also Space concepts.

It could be employed for many things. But its destructiveness does not pale in comparison to Oreki lightning destructiveness

Behind them is the result of their speed race. Any kind of ground that Will stepped on would disintegrate. Each step was filled with power that depressed the surrounding lands.

The moment he steps on an area almost a second later that area suffers depression of lands but Will was already hundreds of miles away.

If it water area, then the water area would be depressed before it burst upwards. On the sky, the clouds dissipated the moment that golden blur pass by and space and time distorts

In that moment, Will once again feel it. The feeling of becoming a lightning, the feeling of running on Time and jumping through Space.

He felt the Speed Source calling him, helping him as his feet keep running forward, Time and Space folding and unfolding around him.

Gravity bends around him, disobeying any Laws of physics. As he runs the purple lightning that surrounded his body had a tint of green.

He felt Time….if that even makes sense. In that one moment where his lightning almost turns green, he felt like he could freely jump and run toward specific time in the past or future.

And he smiles feeling that feeling like he is alive. The winds, the ground, the air, he revels in each moment it passes him by

The sound barrier has long been broken. He is getting closer and closer as sound quakes shatter a few houses they pass

Force field is generated around him by the Speed energy making him safe from the side effect of traveling with such a high speed movement.

Will smiles feeling the heat from his back and hearing the sound quake as Lord Shadow also broke the speed of sound.

His body right now is like a ball of sun. His body is full of heat and now just by passing a river, that river would condense into gas and rises up into the sky and turns into rains.

The bolts of lightning keeps shooting at the golden blur from below and the golden blur keep dodging perfectly.

Hurricanes are forms and storms of wind ravaged the lands each time Will change his direction in the middle of running.

But Sithulran who is in the sky also becomes anxious as Will is slowly coming closer to her. She did not know how Will is increasing his speed, slowly but surely.

She is still analyzing her opponents so she could not yet employs countermeasures

It was then she notices something.

‘This human! You dare!’

She is angered

It turns out that Will is siphoning on her speed. Just when she had this one moment of anger, Will seized it.

In a battle where both people possess hyper speed each movement could change the outcome between victory and defeat.

Will jump and with his feet he uses the kinetic energy to create powerful force that enables him to leap to Sithulran position in the sky.

And then he shouted before punching at Sithulran with the speed of light. The force halted Sithulran speed and punches her out of the sky as she was flying through the air

her face distorted and she grits her teeth, her jaws is broken as she crash land onto Martin Vaz a tiny island on the archipelago of Trindade e Martim Vaz.

She landed on a rugged terrain and the n an explosion sounded as the force of impact causes the entire island to shakes and become unstable.

The few hills around the area were smashed into smithereens.

Thankfully this island is uninhabited. Considering the human population in the world right now that is not especially shocking.

Will then landed almost a second later and the moment his feet landed on the island, the entire island trembles and the entire geography of the island depressed by five feet forcing the island to crack on its seams and cracking.

The island felt like it would break down.

The dust has not yet settled but the moment Will step his foot on the island he went straight to pummel Sithulran.

It was then something shocking happened. The moment Will was about to punch Sithulran she said

[Analysis complete]

[Target is a Speedster]

[Researching weakness]

[Weaknesses found]

[ Turning the physiology of the body to counter speedsters]

[Accessing the Speed Source]

[Analyzing….]

[Accessing the Negative Speed Source]

Then a burst of absolute zero coldness spreads out from her, making Will speed to suddenly experience a drop.

‘What!’ he was shocked to say the least

Not only that, his Time and Space energy suddenly felt like it is being restricted and just right before that punch is about to land on Sithulran face she smiles.

Then she pushes her palm forward. His punch connected with her face and her palm connected to his chest

BOOM!

The shockwaves ripples out and destroy everything in the vicinity like a bomb was being detonated around them

They were both were thrown back hundreds of miles from each other.

But they quickly get up disregarding their injury and this time Sithulran seems to possess a different air around her.

She seems to also possess Speed akin of Speedster but it felt wrong. Will could feel that it felt wrong and he felt like it is something dangerous.

But she was fast. Just like him.

They then run to each other and then they collided with each other creating another waves of shockwaves that crack the island and shakes it roots and the waves around the sea seems to be reversed.

A storm of Time was formed and in there they traded hundred maybe thousands of strikes and attack and each time Will speed is slowly getting slower.

It felt like whatever energy Sithulran is suing is eating away at his speed. Like it infects and spread in his speed and makes it ill.

And that is not all.

He didn’t know what she did but somehow any of his attack could easily be predicted with her eyes.

And then the end result was that they were both injured heavily, leaning on a boulder slice by their wind slice, the unintentional result of their high speed battle.

The difference is she would not truly die. But he will
