The Shadow Master (Verge)

"Wow, so much for the 'Mighty Loris Erwin', I must say I thought you were going to be a worthy opponent but

all you are is a weak little child who doesn't know how to get back home, get up and fight! Im tired of waiting" - Verge mocking Loris

The Shadow Master (Or mostly referred to as Verge) is the final boss you have to fight in the game. Shadow Master is not only the last boss he is also the hardest boss in the whole game and also is the only boss where you have to find an object for before you actually fight him. The player is first mentioned of Verge first when he visits Estrano to see Voltro. Voltro mentions to Loris Erwin that she has to kill Verge and not let him escape because if he escapes, he can easily find Loris and kill her. The Shadow Master lives on the planet IV3 IA which people call, "Verge's hell".

Appearance
The Shadow Master appears as a normal human being who has been completely turned into a Shadow. He wears armor and wields a sword which he calls the flesh cutter. The flesh cutter is a normal-sized sword with ribs in the back of the sword pointing out and that is what causes the bleeding enchantment to work. When the sharp ends of the ribs of the sword hit Loris Erwin, it has a 45.7% chance of bleeding her. His armor is more gold in color and sometimes he wears a helmet. (This will change depending on which difficulty you chose).

Waves
Before fighting The Shadow Master you have to complete the wave battle where he sends out his soldiers at Loris Erwin and Drystan Windsor before he gets to realize that Loris Erwin was the one that killed all his soldiers. The Wave battle comes in different stages. First, you have to fight two soldiers at once. Then 5 soul searchers (People Affected with "The Shadow Disease") come out to fight. Then all of them combined with Verge's most powerful guard

The Battle
Magic that is recommended to use against him is the mega lightning bolt upgraded, Firewalls upgraded, tsunami upgraded. The Shadow Master is almost immune to all types of magic but he is only weak to magic when they are fully upgraded. The Shadow master has a total of 29,000 health points. The weapon that you HAVE to use to fight Verge with is the Shadow destroyer Katana. If you fight Verge without the Shadow Destroyer Katana you are very vulnerable and there is a rare chance that any other weapon (Other than The Shadow Destroyer katana) can break. Before fighting Verge you have to find the Shadowstone crystal. If you fight him without breaking the Shadowstone crystal he is immune to every attack you do, and he is 75% stronger than usual. Some planets the Shadowstone crystal can spawn on is, The Shadow Palace itself, The Moon of W.O.S, World of survivors, Delta planet, and lastly Aromiaez world. Verge's attacks are Randomized so there is no way of predicting his attacks.

Rewards
Once you have defeated this boss you will get the following items. 1,000,000 space bucks, The Shadow Soul, 500 space bucks, and 24 parasite attractors. You also have an incredibly rare chance of getting the Fleshcutter itself (If you have completed every achievement in the game but even if you have done that you only have a 50% chance of getting it). you will get the following 3 achievements after you have defeated The Shadow Master
 * "Soul Dagger"
 * "No more Shadow"
 * "End Credits"

Shadow bite
Verge puts his hands forward and slams it down. This causes a sharp row of shadow spikes that appear from the floor and the roof. The two rows of spikes shut themselves on you which will deal a total of 150 hearts of health which is enough to take away 75% of your health.

Bleeding
If you get hit by Verge's weapon (The Fleshcutter) He can bleed your health. The sharp blade and the spikes on the sides that extend from the top of the sword makes it really sharp

Soul Control
The Shadow Master can control your soul and he does different things to you depending on the difficulty. On very easy and easy mode he only makes you slap yourself really hard on normal mode he takes you up to a higher elevation and drops you from there and on hard mode and Death mode he will just make you kill yourself so make sure whenever The Shadow Master uses soul control to make you spam space really hard

Shadow Needles
The Shadow Master can throw shadow needles at you. He first snaps his hand and some black smoke appears in his hand. Then one spike falls into his hand. He throws it at you and suddenly, tons appear from the back. Some big and some small.

Suit powers
Shadow master's suit can use many different powers, the one he uses most often is his crystal control where he can use his suit to weaken your attacks for a specific amount of time depending on which difficulty you are on [Very easy: no suit Easy: 5 seconds Normal: 15 seconds Hard: 25 seconds Death mode: 35 seconds])

Summoning
Lastly, Shadow Master can summon a few of his army members at you. He can summon his soldiers and his soul searchers as well. Each soldier will spawn at a different location when spawned and must be killed before attacking Shadow Master. If you attack Shadow Master when the soldiers are still alive he will knock you back, dealing 50 hearts of damage. All of Soul Searchers that spawn will only spawn vertically or diagonally. You can attack The Shadow Master when the soul searchers are still alive but Shadow Master has extra strength when The Soul Searchers are still alive.

PVP
In PVP, (If you play as the destroyers) You can buy The Shadow Master for 4,000,000 SpaceBucks. The Shadow Master is the second strongest character in PVP and god is the strongest. When you buy The Shadow Master he comes with his iconic FleshCutter sword and if you want to you can unequip the sword if you just want to use magic and his abilities during battle. Perks for him can also be bought in the store. You can buy him abilities like invisibility, and teleportation, etc... The Shop provides perks for not only Shadow Master but for other characters too.

You can also buy outfits for Shadow Master during PVP for different looks and if you get 100 kills with The Shadow Master you get an achievement called "The Monster of DEATH" and it gives you a golden Shiny crown that you can put on in the Shadow Master.

Verge's Army
Verge has a lot of power over the galaxy that they live in. His army is big enough to take over several planets. Most of the planets he has captured are all planets that have a weak defense system. He has also taken over many planets that have a really strong defense AND offense but they still don't stand a chance against Verge's army.

1. Plans
Before Verge launches an attack on the planet he is going to strike, he needs a plan and that is usually the first thing he does. He has many soldiers who are well educated like Verge and can help him plan the attack but if the attack fails, all the people who helped him are executed either by getting their brains exploded or freezing their organs so that they die a very slow painful death.

2. Army
Verge has a huge army that has more than a million people in it so taking over a planet is no big deal for him. All his soldiers were recruited right when they turned 10 years old and since then he trains them with dark magic in a very non-comfortable way. He uses them like pigs for slaughter and he doesn't care if any of them die while training. Most of the people in his army are people who survived the harsh training and they are really good at magic and well trained with martial arts. Verge doesn't usually fight in battles, he sits back and most of the time, he watches his army win. In some circumstances, even he fights. He is more powerful than all of his soldiers so Verge fighting in a battle really gives his army the lead.

3. The Shadow Disease
When taking over a planet, Verge not only kills his victims but rarely selects a bunch of people and releases The Shadow Parasite on them. This either kills the person if they are weak or, affects their brain and turns them into the a monster looking thing. Their brains would look completely different, it would extend out more causing the person's skull to grow wider and it also pushes some of their skull through the gums of their teeth which is why you can see a little bit of their skulls when they open their mouth really wide. Their brain also grows a tiny counterpart which is the part that Verge controls. That tiny part is almost like a part of Verge's brain but when it stops working, the person who had been affected will die. Verge uses them like soldiers and slaves and when he doesn't need them the kills them. Everyone that is affected by The Shadow Disease eventually dies in about 2 months either by getting killed by verge or getting their hearts stopped
