"Simultaneously attempting to test the limits of exactly how powerful an opponent I can fight against and win, and wanting to impress my wife by beating you. It's been an...emotionally explosive couple of days, and I want to show Morgan that there's still a bit of ME in here," I tap my chest for emphasis. "instead of the lazy NEET she's been seeing as of late. The best way to show that, I figured, was to essentially revive the old me from back when we first met. Hell, I didn't even have to move to kick people's asses back then. I just messed around with my shadow magic until my target was incapacitated. I nearly killed 12 guys from the Order who were beating her up when we met. And DUDE, I made spikes of your own shadow erupt from the inside of your body. That would have killed someone, regardless of armor. How'd you survive that?...nevermind. Let's just continue." I create a shadow blade 50 feet in length. "How's this? There's no such thing as an absolute defense, you know." I calmly swing the blade at Rep, ocer and over.
