((yyŸYUP-- Even before we joined Ask to begin with, Vaati was always in a hamster ball in this one chat where we and someone else did stupid roleplays with Four Swords. Sorry man 😔))
*Shadow counters each strike with one of his own along with a similar wave of dark magic* *The two appear to be moving almost in perfect sync, like some lethal dance*
Shadow Vio: *This causes him to finally close his book, putting it away before staring his foe dead in the eyes, giving him a piercing glare before assuming a new fighting stance*
*Shadow seems able to tell which Shadow Vio is the real one every time, dodging the duplicate and striking at the real one a vicious onslaught of claws, blade and magic* *his eyes have begun to glow*
Shadow Vio: *Amused with his opponent's intelligence, finally emerging from the shadows as he slashes elegantly with his sword several times, sending an arc of dark energy with each*
Shadow Vio: *Vanishes into the shadows, moving around the arena there as well as faking his emergence multiple times, in order to disorient and mislead his opponent**Also summons his duplicate to attempt a surprise attack here and there, to catch his foe off guard*
Shadow Vio: *Vanishes at the last moment, before reappearing behind his foe, reading with one hand while drawing his sword with the other**Title card: 'Ruler of Death Mountain, Shadow Vio'*
*he just crosses his arms smugly looking down at Shadow Vio and his duplicate* Is this really it? This is best you can do? Maybe it's time to stop having the copy do the dirty work
