Chapter 13: The Appearance Of The Man With A "No" Shaped Shadow
(Ashley's PoV)
I am in big trouble.
Rhealyn and I are constantly attacking the man, but he is like smoke, so no damage has been done.
Meanwhile, when he attacks, it feels like a bolder pounce in me.
This is way too unfair.
Fortunately, but I hate to say it, Rhealyn discovered that magic can harm the man, allowing us to fight back.
I despise this bitch because she always tries to kill me whenever she gets a chance.
When I was at a conference, having fun at night with Wrine, on vacation, whenever my husband paid attention to me, and even at my son's graduation.
Fortunately, Hanz was unharmed.
I wanted to kill her myself, but as the head of the Cobham family, I needed to keep my hands clean in public, so I sent an assassin after her.
Unfortunately, she is extremely skilled.
Even if I asked the head of the Lucario division to imprison her, they would not let her go, regardless of what she had done to me.
They make the excuse that she is not only a great assassin, but also a great healer, despite the fact that this is just a cover for her true identity.
It would be a huge loss for them if she suddenly disappeared on the front lines.
Anyway, why am I thinking about this in the middle of a fight?
This irritates me even more, so let us focus on the battle, Ashley.

"Fireball"
The fireball hit the man, but our attack is becoming ineffective as time passes.
If we want to leave the park, we must defeat this man.
Every second I am with Ashley makes me want to vomit.
Unfortunately, no matter what attack we launch, the man remains in good condition.
The man has no face; he is completely dark and wears a black suit.
Every time I look at this man's faceless face, I feel as if I am drowning.
Breaking free from this unpleasant feeling required a tremendous amount of willpower.
However, what is most perplexing about this man is that he has a shadow.
A man who resembles a shadow has a shadow?
What is more strange is that the shadow is not even in the shape of a human like him, but rather the letters "N" and "o".
Yes, the man's shadow is a "No".
I am not sure what is going on, but instead of thinking about it, I need to find another weakness; otherwise, we will be trapped and possibly die here.

"Hail"
"Firebolt"
Ashley and Rhealyn have been attacking since earlier, and their mana is running low.
They must defeat this man as soon as possible.
Rhealyn thought it was only "possible" that they would die here, but it appears that it is no longer just a "possible" because the man has a strange aura surrounding his body.
A burst of aura, a smoke-like aura, emerges from the man and covers the entire area.
Ashley and Rhealyn cover their eyes, but when they look around, all they see is darkness.
However, the two girls are surprised to see each other.
The only issue is... where is the man?
…
(Wrine Pov)
After the dog left, I looked around and heard the sound of fighting.
What the…
I am shocked to see them here.
Why are Ashley and Rhealyn here at this time?
Seeing their uniforms, it appears that they have not returned to their homes before coming here.
Well,same as me, but that is not the issue.
Who is that man, and why are they fighting him?
Wait a second... He must be the man that the dog asked me about earlier, but my eyes have recently been having some issues.
You see, the man has a shadow.
The dog stated that he is looking for a man with no shadow, but I did not realize that he meant a man with a "No" shaped shadow.
Why do strange things keep appearing out of nowhere?
This is not the time for silly thoughts.
Ashley and Rhealyn were drawn into the man's smoke.
I need to help them.
