But the orcs didn't stop. They pushed through, closing the distance despite the shadow assault.
Urgak swung his war axe in a devastating horizontal arc. The blade cut through the air with enough force to decapitate a horse.
Vegeta ducked under the swing, then countered with a shadow blade that appeared in his hand. The dark weapon clashed against an orc warrior's sword, and to everyone's surprise, the shadow held firm against the steel.
"Surprised?" Vegeta laughed. "My shadows aren't just darkness. They're solid when I want them to be. Versatile, aren't they?"
He twisted his wrist, and the shadow blade changed shape, becoming a whip that wrapped around the orc warrior's sword. With a sharp yank, Vegeta disarmed the orc, then drove a shadow spike through his chest.
The fighting became brutal.
