Cid - Vs. Three Blood Queens

Immediately after Mary finishes shouting, three of her queens shoot feelers at Shadow.

The ebony blade slices through their feints.

The battle is playing out just like it did before.

Unlike last time, though, there are three Blood Queens that use the feelers’ cover to launch a surprise attack this time.

One of them attacks from behind, one from above, and the last from his side.

Shadow adroitly avoids all three.

His defensive movements are so flowing and elegant that it’s almost like he knew where the Blood Queens were going to come from. Their dance seems destined to go on forever.
