Shin rushed forward and slammed his sword down at Bjorn. Bjorn snapped back to reality and blocked the attack and pushed Shin back.
Bjorn responded by copying Shin but stopped just before the great sword could cut through Shin.
He had a look of guilt on his face, refusing to look Shin directly in the eyes and looked down instead.
Shin felt more rage and fury grow in him. He shouted," What is this!? Are you too much of a corward to cut me down Bjorn!?".
Bjorn remained silent, still looking down in guilt. Shin swung his sword at Bjorn who finally moved and dodged the attack.
"BJORN!! What are you doing! That's just a corpse with an implented soul. Not the actual thing", the hero who had blocked off Satel yelled.
Bjorn looked up, still having the look of guilt on his face. "If you think I'm just a corpse then I hope you still remember this!", Shin yelled as he ran up to Bjorn, sword forward.
Bjorn readied himself . "Destructive art: form 2: relentless destruction".
In the blink of an eye, Bjorn was being pushed back by a fury of sword stabs from Shin.
Bjorn kept his great sword in front of him, using its giant size to his advantage and blocked almost every attack. Some of the attacks managed to hit his armour and left circular holes through it.
"Why were armour that's to large for you. Never thought I'd say that, considering how much you used to tower over me", Shin said with pure rage clinging onto every word.
Bjorn was shocked, trying to contemplate how this implemented soul knew Shin's sword technique until, it dawned on him that the person in front of him was the Shin he knew.
"Shin'en. Look man I didn't want to do it", Bjorn said in a pleading voice. "Shut up you lap dog", Shin responded, continuing the attack and intensifying it.
Just as the great sword was at its limits and about to Shatter, a voice yelled,"Flame magic: Tier 3: Fire blast".
A blast of flame hit Shin on his side and sent him flying. Bjorn fell to his knees. His face in disbelief as he turned his head to take a proper look at Shin.
Shin stood up from the smoke and walked out without a scratch on him. "Still weak as ever Kai", Shin said dusting off his shoulders.
Kai, the flame hero scoffed at Shin. "We both know I held back" ,Kai responded looking kissed off.
"Hey Shin. As much as this little reunion of yours is funny as he'll. We have to go before that bitch gets here", Satel called out as she stood over four heroes tied up in green magical ropes.
"Before which bitch arrives", a voice called out behind Satel.
Satel paused , looked back and her eyes grew wide in shock at who stood behind her. "Mmm. Bjorn you disappoint me , you couldn't even make sure Shin was dead", the goddess spoke out in a voice that shook the room.
Satel stood motionless as the goddess pointed her hand at her. "Light magic : Tier 7: judgement".
A blinding flash off light shot straight at Satel but Shin manger to reach her and shield her using his body.
"Oh? You've gotten faster", the goddess said, complimenting Shin.
Shin stood up fuming as his back healed from the burns of the goddess's light attack. Just as the goddess was about to attack again, Satel wrapped her arms around Shin and responded with her own spell.
"Dark magic: Tier 6: Grieving soul". A large skull made of mana engulfed Shin and Satel as it withstood the goddess's attack.
"Huh!?", both Satel and the goddess blurted out in shock. Satel noticed something weird about her body in that moment. She noticed her power and mana pool had risen exponentially, putting her near the goddess's level of power.
"Well this is interesting", Satel said as she grinded at the goddess.
"Dark magic: Tier 5: Last act". The facility glowed a bright green as it blew up.
"That bitch", the goddess whispered under her breath as she stood in a bubble of gold mana along with the heroes in the ruins of the facility.
She looked around and realized Shin and Satel were missing. The goddess was enraged and grabbed Bjorn by his neck.
Bjorn didn't look fazed at all and simply looked down in shame and prepared for the worst.
The goddess scoffed as she let go of Bjorn and he fell to the ground. Bjorn stood up holding his throat. The goddess turned her back on the party and disappeared without a trace.
Bjorn looked around at the ruins of the facility and saw Shin had disappeared as well. He sighed in regret and summoned a magic circle below the hero party.
"Teleport". In a flash of gold light, they disappeared.
