Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2313

One of the questions seemed to have been responded. Kai was a Saint - a Transcendent Beast - so he took the place of one of the Ash Beasts that had remained on the Death Game board. He had also traveled between the volcanoes without being erased from existence by the being below the clouds, which gave Sunny a hint about the rules of this miniature realm.

He would have to think about that in more detail, but for now there was a more pressing question that needed to be responded.

Kai had been able to see Sunny across the great distance dividing the two volcanoes due to his Awakened Ability, which granted him unparalleled sight. So…

Sunny looked in the direction of the third volcano, wondering who had taken the place of the second Ash Beast.

'Can you see who is out there?'

Kai looked in the direction of their volcano and faltered for a moment.

'That… I think you might want to take a step back.'

Sunny frowned, then did as he was told.

A moment later…

A black arrow plummeted from the sky and sunk into the ash, right where he had been standing. Sunny stared at the arrow for a few seconds, then shook his head. He would have been able to dodge it even without Kai's warning… probably.

But definitely not without rolling on the ground gracelessly.

'That damn murderous lunatic…'

He inhaled deeply.

'I guess Slayer is here, too.'

And it seemed that her eyesight was just as exceptional as Kai's… she lacked the ability to fly, though. So, she had announced her presence in her usual barbaric way.

Sunny pondered the situation. There was a small possibility that the Song sisters were somewhere here, as well, having taken the place of three white figures. However, Sunny rather suspected that they had not been imprisoned by Ariel's game. If so, one question remained. Where had the actual Ash Tyrant and two remaining Ash Beasts gone?

Looking at Kai, he hesitated a little and asked:

'Hey… do you think that Seishan, Hel, and Revel are fighting three ancient nightmare creatures in the Toy Room right now?'

Kai seemed startled by the question. He looked at Sunny with wide eyes, then shivered.

'I… really hope that they are not.'

Sunny inhaled deeply.

'Well, don't worry too much. Seishan is quite resourceful, so I am sure she'll manage somehow.'

After all, she had survived on the Forgotten Shore for a decade - longer than anyone else who escaped it. Revel, meanwhile, was one of the deadliest Saints in existence. Not only had she gone against Sunny and lived to tell the tale, but she also conquered the Spine Ocean of Godgrave while annihilating seven Saints of the Sword Army and their entire expedition. And while Death Singer was sort of disarming, she was actually quite alarming as well. Sunny did not forget the first time he saw her, entering the council chamber of the Song Army with the same innocent look, but also with blood dripping from her crimson hands. Plus, they were in the Jade Palace - their former home. Considering how well Revel knew the magnificent palace, they had an overwhelming terrain advantage.

Noticing that Kai still seemed worried, Sunny patted him on the shoulder.

'Cassie is keeping an eye on the situation. You know that she always has a contingency.'

Kai lingered for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.

'Still. Considering how serious the consequences are, I think I have the right to know what the purpose of this entire endeavor is, at least.' _{freēwēbnovel.com}

Sunny studied him with a faint smile.

'Finally ready to ask questions, huh? Well, fair. I'll tell you.'

He looked into the distance, where the snowy peaks rose above the sea of clouds.

But what was he supposed to say?

Any honest answer he could give would be forgotten.
