THREAT LEVEL: High

REMARK: Don't be surprised to see her having a high threat level even when you are at a much higher level. It's just a precaution as her level might be low but you are fighting in her domain, not on even ground. This means you're at a disadvantage. Moreover, you can't even use mana to challenge the authority she has over her domain by bringing over your domain. On top of that, you should be careful because of the above-mentioned reason, you can not use your abilities and thus you're completely dependent on your attributes, which to be honest, might not help you that much in this fight.

You do not have anything else that can help you in this situation. The only ray of sunshine is that you can use your gears. Or if you really want to distract her, try showing her your ding dong. The last time she saw it, she was quite infatuated by it, if I remember correctly. You can use it to distract her and lay low while she is mesmerised and the next second you can take her down. Easy peasy! Let's name this trick honey trapping.

'System sama, please keep your pervertedness to yourself. I'm trying to reform myself.'

[Aye, that's a good plan. No one would ever expect something like that to happen! It's the perfect surprise attack!]

'You stole that idea from one of the animes, didn't you?'

[Just use it once and I assure you, you'll like it.]

'Have you always been like this?' Arnold couldn't even comprehend a thing that system sama was telling him, 'Or is it somewhat related to me? Either way, it looks like we have a problem.'

By problem, Arnold meant Satina who was racing towards him at an unimaginable speed. But due to Arnold's high perception, she did look to be running at a high speed. Still, if Arnold had faced her a couple of years ago, he was quite sure he would get fcked up pretty bad.

But not anymore. He was quite well versed in the knowledge of egoistic basta*dized gods and how to handle them. Also, Arnold didn't care if her threat was high or not. Even after taking her defence into account, she shouldn't be able to handle the blow from his newly enhanced arm, one-shotting arm.

"Die, you basta*d!" Satina roared in rage.

"You idiots never learn..." Arnold mumbled before backhanding the witch of a goddess, "It's always the same sh*t, just new faces to smack."

Arnold might have sent Satina flying, but he didn't hurt her. In fact, she disappeared into the darkness as soon as his arm was about to touch her. It was as if she had blended with the shadows. Before Arnold could even come up with a plan, all of the torches around the room went out, shrouding him in complete darkness.

Arnold was sure he had hit her with a punch. But if that had been the case then he would have gotten a notification about her death till now.

'What the hell is going on here?'

[It's a blessing the Immortal one gave to her... I'm surprised she can still use it after being ostracised by him.]

'Just tell me what's going on and I'll handle the rest.'

[Essentially she is a shadowmancer. A mage who can manipulate the shadow of anyone and anything as they want. They could become one with the shadow or twist it to make weapons. In other words, darkness is their ultimate weapon. Also, since they are so used to living in the shadows, they become a part of it, making it difficult for anyone to hit them and hence kill them.]

'Now ain't that a bitch. I can't use my abilities in here, and now even my physical attacks work on her. Great. Just great.'

Arnold felt as if he was being forced to once again go through the trial but on different terms than before. At least back then he was aware of the fact that it was a test so it was highly uncertain that he would've gotten killed back then. However this time, things were different. He knew very well that he could easily get killed by Satina as without his life-saving abilities like <Sacred Protection>, he was like a sitting duck in the darkness.

[Well. Shadowmancer class might seem extraordinarily powerful, but that's not correct. They have a serious drawback.]

'I hope you're not waiting for me to ask you what that is...' Arnold's ears were pricked up. Without his vision and sense of touch, his listening skills were the only thing that could aid him. 

[Once they become one with the shadows they can't use their abilities either. Thus if she wants to kill you, she would have to do so while she is in her physical form.]

'That makes things-'

The next moment he turned around and blocked a strike from Satina's scythe.

"How did you-"

"You might have the shadows on your side, but the air molecules betrayed you." Arnold smiled as he grabbed onto her scythe, "With a biga*s weapon like this, even the deaf person would be able to feel the vibrations generated while swinging the scythe. So even if you hide and attack me, you'll still end up losing because I am faster than you are!"

Arnold yelled before ripping her arms off along with her scythe, "You lost the battle ever since you decided to wage one against me."

"I-It's not over yet!"

"You think?"
