Fighting with Shadows

The Fight the Night Before
"I'm afraid that will simply not to." a voice said as a figure appeared before two men. "Holy Scriptures, Seal."

Parius Chitose and Nagato Hijikita both lept back as a shadowy figure appeared before them. However, they saw that there wear hundreds of pages around them that made a large barrier that sealed them in with the figure. They were vaguely aware that the sun had just finished dipping under the horizon and it was now night.

"Who are you?" Parius demanded.

"Don't worry, Black Dragon, you won't live long enough to remember me." the figure replied, eight blades appearing in his hands.

"Endless Blade." Parius muttered as he drew his black sword.

"Ah, so you have heard of me." Tenjin grinned. He then threw all eight blades at the other two men, who lept back to dodge some of the blades and deflected the rest with their own swords.

"Black Flame Shot." Parius said, firing an orb of black flames at his attacker.

"Holy Scriptures, Shield." Tenjin answered, surrounding himself with near countless pages out of a book. The fireball made contact and began burning the pages away, but Tenjin was fine underneath them. At least he appeared to be. Once all the pages had burned away Parius saw that Nagato had snuck in behind the man and had impaled the other man's chest with his sword. "Not bad, Silent Wave, I had almost forgotten about you."

Tenjin then reached down and pulled Nagato's sword out of his chest. The two members of the Black Moon Squad were shocked to see the wound begin smoking and then close up as if it had never been there.

"What sort of magic is that?" Parius demanded.
