Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2299

Observing the confused look on Kai's face, Sunny couldn't resist grinning.

'Oh, yes. This is the sensation! This is the emotion!'

He had guessed correctly. This quest was going to resemble the fantastic past times...

Unaware of the silent contentment Sunny was experiencing, Kai eventually managed to clear his mind. He stayed quiet for several seconds, then inquired with genuine perplexity:

"Sunny? Your name is... Sunny?"

Sunny lifted one eyebrow.

"Yeah. Well, I guess it's basically a moniker. How come?"

Kai opened and closed his eyes twice, then displayed a slight grin.

"No, it's just... somewhat paradoxical, given that you are the Lord of Shadows. Not exactly the title I would have anticipated for the Lord of Shadows to possess."

Sunny shot him an odd glance.

"You didn't actually believe that when I emerged into existence, my mother took one peek and declared... oh, you shall be called the Lord of Shadows! Did you?"

Kai angled his head slightly, a pensive expression crossing his features.

Shortly after, he exhaled dejectedly.

"When you phrase it that way, it does appear absurd. But somehow, that seems to be precisely what I imagined. How foolish of me."

He grinned.

"Not that I devoted much consideration to your birth... I simply sort of pictured you emerging from a gloomy cavern as a fully developed adult or being delivered in a sinister dark sanctuary somewhere in the Dream Realm. Things of that nature."

Sunny gazed at him, speechless.

"...I was born in a shabby public clinic just a short distance from here. It was a totally standard delivery."

Watching Kai nod with comprehension, Sunny pondered briefly, then added casually:

"Well, to be honest, a massive shadow did consume the sun the instant I arrived, casting the entire planet into blackness. But such occurrences happen regularly, right?"

Complete solar eclipses weren't particularly uncommon, after all.

Kai turned utterly silent, for whatever reason...

It appeared that celestial knowledge wasn't his forte!

Sunny peeked at him and shrugged.

"If it provides any comfort, my complete title is Sunless."

The appealing Saint suddenly appeared much more comfortable.

"Ah! Supreme Sunless. That sounds far more appropriate."

Then, he fixed Sunny with a prolonged stare and mentioned hesitantly:

"But, I must confess... I did hear certain things about your actual appearance from Effie, yet, to think you would conceal such a visage behind a mask, Sunless! That covering truly doesn't showcase your features. So many aspects make sense now!"

Sunny raised an eyebrow.

"Like what?"

Kai smiled.

"Well, uh... various matters. Shall we proceed now?"

Sunny shrugged and seized his shoulder.

"Fine... let's move."

Kai focused, tugging on his connection. A frigid breeze abruptly swept across the alleyway, knocking over a heap of trash nearby.

And then... nothing transpired.

Sunny viewed Kai with an unspoken question, prompting him to cough awkwardly.

"That... I apologize. It seems I can't transport you to the Dream Realm. It feels like attempting to shift a mountain."

It was logical, in retrospect. It would have already been challenging for a Saint to ferry a Sovereign across the realm boundary. But Sunny was also holding tens of thousands of shades, many of Supreme Rank, within his soul — not to mention the Sacred shade of Condemnation. It wasn't surprising that Kai couldn't bear his burden.

Shaking his head, Sunny sighed.

"That's somewhat inconvenient."

Kai seemed genuinely troubled.

"Thank the... wait. Who said that?!" _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
