The shadow man quickly got up.
Kael watched him rise from the rubble through the hole in the warehouse wall as dark energy writhed around his form like angry serpents, knitting together the superficial damage, patching the cracks in his shadow armor.
Kael raised both blades and poured mana into them. Lightning crackled with blue-white arcs dancing along the shadow-steel.
"Lightning Fang."
Seven bolts of condensed lightning erupted from his blades in rapid succession, screaming through the hole in the wall toward the shadow man like the finger-lights of an angry deity having a very bad day.
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
The shadow man moved.
