Chap 39: shadow power

  Breathing out a sigh for his other body, Takumi slowed down while taking a walk.

  Traveling with his feet at this time felt weird, 'might be the shadow ?' Takumi shot a gnce to his dark environment.

  With everything around at night, it seemed he got a boost. But Takumi can't know for sure until he tested it himself. So there he was, on the road to find a pce to try out the power he got from Noob saibot.

  Mortal kombat world is not something he is well verse in, considering the st time Takumi actually touch a arcade gane was years ago in his st life.

  Making a trip to a forest near the edge of town, Takumi make it to a clearing far enough so that no one will come even if he made some huge mess or cause a loud ruckus.

  Noob saibot power in mortal kombat revolve around shadow but it was never specify of it's origin or full potential.

  'First off, my senses.' The simple thing he got the hang of right away was his ability to sense all things that have shadow, which was everything.

  Even just standing in it gives make hin feel like he can do so much more. Like a boost, Takumi make a dash, jumping from tree branch to branch, making move better than a professional gymnast.

  All with out causing a noise

  "So my stats do get a boost." However, this boost in stats doesn't seem to shown in the system.

  Hoping down, he make not even a single cause a single leaves drop. "That's neat, i'll make sure to keep it in mind when i want to be a ninja."

  Next was his cloning, not like his curse technique. Noob clone is make from his shadow which doesn't hold much advantage like his curee technique. Takumi begin to drawn from his own shadow and try to use it like his clone technique, only that this time he doesn't use any curse energy in it.

  immediately, he can feel something forming beside him. Turning his head over, on his right is another Takumi. This one is a bit different, with this clone looking like if Takumi decided to jump in a pool of ink. It has the outer silhouette of him but everything is all bck from head to feet, with only it's green eyes making it visible in the night. Takumi try to move forward and the clone mirrored his exact movement.

  'Hmp, let's see how much you can copy.' He walked in front of a tree followed by his shadow to one tree next to him. Takumi take a stance with his fist up and punch. The shadow clone follow his move the moment he made them.

  *BANG*

  There is now a gaping hole where Takumi thrown his punch, over his shadow spot, a simir hole apeared. It would be that they can even copy his strength, he noted.

  'Through, this is quite the tricky one to use.' Maybe ha can control them better with time, like send them to act independently in a fight. But for now a clone that can only mirroed their user is best use only in a situational scenario.

  He recalled and the clone merge back into his shadow again. Lookibg down, he wasn't sure if this part is right or not but it just a hunch.

  Taking a sword from [inventory] Takumi drop it in his shadow, to his suprise. It fell right inside his shadow, he can feel the object reside in his realm of darkness.

  'So edgy.' He throught, before stretching his arms forward telling the shadow in his mind.

  And the sword emerge just as he called it, floating up right into his palm. Next he even try and thrown it far away and the shadow still able to catch it for him, dragging the sword into his shadow. The distant which his shadow isn't too far, around three meter at maximum.

  He can use this like an extra inventory, or for more tactical purpose. He close his eyes and fall right in his shadow, he can feel himself sinking down. Opening his eyes, he can still feel the outside world.

  "Does this count as my domain ?" He wondered, sure it doesn't have the auto hit that every domain has but if Takumi can thrown anyone in here, they won't be able to escape. And even if he can't thrown them in, by just in the environment like this it would give him a boost.

  Down here, there's nothing but darkness. He trued to form something down here but nothing came to effect. So he tried to create portal, seeing a circlur swirl apeared in front of him.

  "Now this is good." Takumi shot out from the shadow.

  Pushing the limit of his portal, he closed his eyes and picture the image of his home and create one that transport him there. But no portal apeared this time, but i did strain his mental to create one. Which does made sense, if he can travel anywhere via sbadow then it would really be too convenient.

  "So i do have a limit, can i raise it up more i wonder ?" But as of now, short distant portal is all he can do.

  But even so, the short distant still take a while for him. 'What if...' he throught, a mass of shadow roll into a ball in his palm.

  Throwing it, the mass spttered like a paint ball on the tree. Takumi shadow engulf him, and in the next seccond, his body shot out from the tree.

  And from that, he try jumping from multiple portal. Takumi shot out from portal to portal at high speed.

  His portal can be use long travel if he have left a 'mark' on it or he can throw them out to make short portal jump in high succesion.

  Rolling into a nding, Takumi has to admit this is a good powerset. Overall, not too great power wise but it's versatility is beyond doubt very usefull to him.

  With all these test done, Takumi body fall into the swirlling mass of shadow under his foot and disappeared from the forest.

  Announcement final pick everyone, we have the Akatsuki from broad 1 and Gawain from broad 2Iamnotabot
