Depth Level 3, South Side
The Shadow held Harrison's head in a tight grip.
He tried to break free.
It was useless.
His Shadow continued to contaminate him.
Harrison's consciousness blurred.
He was being overtaken by the Shadow.
Losing himself to it.
'I can't…fall… here.'
Harrison struggled to keep his eyes open.
A single mistake was about to cost him his life.
The Shadow would replace him and no one would ever realize the original Harrison was long gone.
'I don't want that.'
His chest heaved.
"Don't… fuck… with me!"
He grabbed the Shadow's wrist with a last surge of strength and tried to flip it over.
The Shadow scoffed.
It didn't budge.
As Harrison's Shadow, it always knew what he could and would do.
There was no way Harrison was going to win against it.
Maybe, he shouldn't have insisted on fighting his Shadow alone and asked for someone's help.
If Lucas was here with him, Harrison could've won.
Harrison realized he was defeated.
Regrets started to slip in.
The last vestige of his consciousness was about to disappear when suddenly he heard the noise of air being torn apart.
An iron rebar hit the Shadow's head from the side and pierced its head.
The powerful momentum behind the throw carried the Shadow's body away and pinned it into the ground far from him.
Harrison was free.
He heaved.
The Shadow, despite having a pole shoved through its head, continued to move.
The mimicked Invincible kept it alive.
Red lightning wrapped around the rebar surged.
It flowed into the Shadow's body through the iron pole and killed it from the inside.
The Shadow stopped moving and it fell with a limp.
"Who… was it…?"
A single attack killed his Shadow.
Only Morrigan could achieve such feat, but she never came with them into the Window.
Harrison turned his head.
He stared in the direction from where the iron rebar came flying.
"There is no one there…."
He squinted.
Far into the distance, he could see broken wreckages flying around.
The distance was too great for Harrison to see the person who threw the rebar.
But…
"Red Lightning."
There was only one person among them who could manifest Death element.
Neo.
He saved Harrison by defeating his Shadow from a distance where Harrison couldn't even see anything and that too in a single attack.
Harrison's face contorted.
Had Neo been hiding his strength?
Was it funny to act like a weakling while he waited for an opportunity to reveal his strength?
The gratitude and relief that came from behind saved turned into something darker.
Harrison punched the ground.

"It doesn't look like he appreciates the help."
Neo could see the frustrated expression on Harrison's face.
He did not regret saving Harrison.
It was his job as the mission leader.
Suddenly, a silvery portal appeared behind him.
Lucas stepped on the rooftop.
"How did you… do that with a single attack?" freewёbnoνel.com
