Far from the location of the three clowns three figures both injured while one was lying on a back of a large crocodile clearly heavily injured.

The oldest amongst the individual started coughing up blood as he trips and fall electricity started to flash in his body.

​​

"Dad are you okay?" Seeing this the only one who was walking in a normal manner looks worried as he carried the old man in his shoulder.

"I'm okay it's just a residual energy I won't die but Leo is clearly on the brink of death I don't know if we could make it back to Westward City" Said the old man with a sigh.

The young man looks at the figure lying on the back of the giant crocodile behind him with complicated emotion.

He spoke "I just met him but I realised how awesome he is not only he is incredibly smart but he was also powerful judging from the attacks he had suffered it was already a miracle his body is still intact".

"Not to mention the lightning attack that we have suffered clearly came from him if it wasn't for him we could have never escape".

The old man nodded unbeknownst to them Hentai was rapidly healing Shadowslash yes the man lying on the giant crocodile's back is him.

Hentai was always absorbing energy automatically saving them inside its power source to be used later.

Shadowslash was so heavily injured Hentai had to take over to keep his life there is only a little distance between him and death.

Ziggy wasn't worried as he felt the life force of Shadowslash and knew that he wouldn't die so it was still leisurely following the two in front of him.

After walking for nearly an hour they finally returned back to Westward City the two old men that came with Fang Cang was flying above the city looking around guarding it

tightly.

Fang Cang heaved a sigh of relief seeing them what supposed to be a quick trip back to the city have become minutes as they couldn't fly and they were heavily injured.

The doctors quickly checked up on them as they look grim as they found that there is an invasive lightning energy that is ravaging the body of the three people.

Especially Shadowslash other than lightning energy the doctors found another type of energy that is suppressing his vital organs.

But they also found that Shadowslash's body was healing on its own like a machine precise and secure.

The doctors knew if they ever do something then it might actually put Shadowslash's life in danger than make it better.

Three days later Shadowslash finally opens his eyes but he was still heavily injured he couldn't even lift his fingers he saw that his body is covered in bandage.

He was surprised he never thought he would survived such powerful blows he then asks 'Hentai how much power remaining in your power source?'.

[5%]

Shadowslash couldn't help but make a bitter smile as he realised that his work was once again reset from the beginning but he did not regret it as his life would have been forfeited.

He then used his spiritual sense to connect with his clones and realized without him being conscious they would cease to exist.

Without hesitation he summoned them to his side as he made them into his figure as he controlled one of the clone that looks exactly like him to go outside.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside as people were surprised to see Shadowslash the only one who did not react is Ziggy who is still snoring.

Shadowslash then waves his hand as he started speaking "Everyone thank you for worrying about me and I am very grateful for your care for these past few days but I am sad to say that I need to return to my territory as the whole situation in the continent is now in chaos".

He then waves his hand towards his subordinates as he told the carriage driver "Prepare the carriage we need to return back to my city fast".

Shadowslash then returned back to the room he then puts his body in a cover before going out.

The people were confused seeing such a huge pillow with Shadowslash but they did not asks him anything.

Putting his real self inside the carriage his clone sat atop the carriage while the other clones was taking care of his body.

Just as his group was busy preparing for their return Fang Cang and his father appeared the two of them bows towards Shadowslash.

Like Shadowslash both of them are heavily injured and covered in bandages but they still forced themselves to go out.

"The two of us father and son wanted to thank you for your help to my city and to its people".

Shadowslash smiled as he spoke "You don't need to thank me as my city and your city are allies".

Shadowslash and his group then started their travel as the three bodyguards were extremely fidgety as they wanted to asks what had happened.

Shadowslash chuckles silently but seeing them like this he finally decided to tell them what had happened.

Hearing his fight the three of them and the carriage driver were in awe as they realised that he practically fought all three clowns that are able to easily defeat Fang Cang and Fang Gui.

Since they couldn't continue their travel all the time they need to rest and eat especially him as he would need to eat large amount of food to recover when night fall everyone sat around a bonfire.

Shadowslash told them that they would have soup all the way so they followed his orders as they started cooking soup Shadowslash was the one supplied all the food.

Ziggy wasn't heavily injured just like Shadowslash and the Fang father and son but it was still injured nonetheless so it stayed unlike before where he would hunt his own food.

What they didn't know Shadowslash scattered his clones throughout the surrounding as he knew that he wouldn't be able to fight so he needs to prioritize the safety of his group.

One of his clones suddenly lost contact with him causing him to feel grim he then used his illusion to activate [Illusionary World] and covers the whole camp.

He knew that it was a high chance that the ones who took care of one of his clones were the clowns so this illusion field wouldn't work but it is quite the opposite only if they set foot in the camp would they would be able to disperse the Illusion.

Shadowslash wanted to draw them away from the camp so he transformed his clones in his image and Ziggy's form.

Just exactly what he thought the three clowns immediately took the baits but when they arrived at the location of the two clones the blue clown spoke "These two are fakes".

The other two clowns were startled they then look at the two in front of them who were growling at them while also looking quite afraid it looks very real.

"These two have no souls so they are being remotely controlled". Explained the blue clown upon hearing what he had said the clone Shadowslash was surprised he then smiled and stop pretending.

Shadowslash spoke "You are really observant I hate fighting an opponent like you since its like you are my nemesis".

The blue clown was just flying in the sky as he narrows his eyes towards Shadowslash and punched the Ziggy clone destroying it in one punch.

He then looks at the Shadowslash clone as he spoke "Let's talk shall we?".

Suddenly another voice was heard "Excuse me for being rude but you should postpone the talk between the two of you because I wanted to talk to you clowns what you are doing in our continent".

Hearing this voice the expression of the Shadowslash clone charged as he looks towards the source of the voice sign trepidation.

The three clowns were about to attack when suddenly a pressure that bores them down to the ground appeared as cracks started to appear.

Shadowslash spoke in a trembling voice "It's you again old man".

The old man smiled he then looks at Shadowslash with a hint of approval "You are quite a cunning little fella but I like you since you have the dragon bloodline running down in your veins why don't you return with me back in the land of the dragon clan?".

Shadowslash chuckles before puffing into smokes this surprised the old man he then started laughing out loud he then said "That sneaky little fella".

Suddenly his expression changed as he lets out a roar and his hand became one of that a dragon he then attacked his sides as a boom was heard nearly shaking the entire forest.

A laughter was heard as a clown in a black cloaked appeared "As expected of the grand elder of the dragon clan you are as powerful as they say".
