Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2253

Even if Anvil had been rattled by the shocking turn of events, he did not allow himself to stay in that state for more than a few seconds.

After all, he had come to this battlefield to fight a Sovereign. It did not matter much to him whether he had to fight Ki Song or the Lord of Shadows…

There was a lot Sunny had to adjust to, however.

The fractured bone plain shuddered as he pushed against it with his foot. His newly found power was too vast, too tyrannical — underestimating his own speed, Sunny failed to align his sword properly and missed Anvil entirely, crashing into him instead of beheading him with one clean, ruthless strike.

Their clash caused a shockwave to tear the world apart, and Anvil was thrown dozens of metres back. The impact was truly terrible.

Sunny looked down at his armor, expecting to see fractures marring the smooth surface of the jet-black jade. However, to his surprise, the Mantle was entirely intact.

It was Anvil's impenetrable armor that dented, instead.

A vicious smile twisted Sunny's lips.

"You must have worked quite hard to forge this Supreme suit of armor..."

A split second later, he was already upon Anvil, slashing down with his black odachi. His speed was so great that it seemed as if Sunny was blinking in and out of existence instead of moving across the weathered bone.

Anvil still managed to deflect the blow, though, staggering back as a result.

Sunny smiled.

"...I bought my armor from a Sleeper for a fistful of soul shards."

Behind the smile, however, he was a little wary. Serpent's Class depended on Sunny's own, but its Rank depended on his mastery of Shadow Dance. So, it was still a Transcendent Titan despite Sunny already being a Supreme one… Anvil's condemning sword, though, was Sacred.

If Sunny was not careful, his Shadow could be destroyed.

So, he allowed three of his shadows to flow down his arms and envelop Serpent, instead, augmenting both its power and its resilience.'Huh…'

It was only then that Sunny considered his current state.

His original body had been destroyed, so only the seven incarnations remained. It was a strange reversal — before, he had been a human who needed to spend essence in order to turn into a shadow, but now being a shadow was his natural state. Instead, he needed to spend essence to assume the shape of a human.

The expenditure was minuscule compared to the unfathomable rate with which he replenished essence, but it was still a curious fact.

In any case, one of his shadows was serving as a gate for the silent legion, three were augmenting Serpent, and three were serving as his body now.

Which meant that he was still three times stronger than Anvil — more so, really, since the Shadow Realm Fragment was empowering him.

The King of Swords stood no chance… it was as if their roles had been reversed.

Sensing the gap but remaining indifferent to it, Anvil grasped the hilt of his Sacred sword with both hands and looked at Sunny somberly.

"You talk too much."
