Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2351

Sunny had never been able to summon the shade of Condemnation, and that was not for the lack of trying.

The shadow of the fallen god simply refused to submit to his will. It was too vast, too ancient, and too unfathomable to be compelled by his commands, while Sunny himself was not nearly powerful enough to assert his authority over it.

In a sense, trying to deal with the shadow of Condemnation was even more difficult than trying to command the Fragment of the Shadow Realm.

After becoming a Supreme, Sunny could manipulate the Fragment a little bit - enough so to separate it from the Nameless Temple, at least, even if it had felt like moving a mountain. The Fragment was devoid of personality, though, while the shadow of Condemnation… it had a mind of its own.

Or a shadow of a mind of its own, at least.

In any case, Sunny could not summon the shadow of Condemnation. The dead god remained in the tranquil darkness of his soul, seemingly at peace, and since it was the only shade of the Sacred Rank there, Sunny simply assumed that he could not command shades of a higher Rank than his own.

After facing the Snow Worm in battle, though, he began to doubt that theory. The Cursed Beast had been frightening and dreadfully powerful, true, but not… beyond the realm of understanding, when compared to Sunny. More than that, Sunny had already experienced if not overpowering, then at least defeating the creature's Will.

Plus, unlike Condemnation, he had killed the Snow Worm with his own two hands… metaphorically speaking.

In truth, naturally, he had killed it with his boot.

So who was to say that he could not command its shade? How could the shadow of a mere Beast rebel against the Lord of Shadows?

So, that was exactly what Sunny tried to do. He tried to summon the shade of the Snow Worm and make it follow his commands.

The result… was both promising and disappointing.

Just like Condemnation, the Snow Worm… Abundance… refused to answer Sunny's call. Really, it was not even so much a refusal as it was a flat - out indifference. Both Sacred shades simply ignored Sunny and his commands.

However, unlike Condemnation, Abundance was not so immense as to be indomitable. So, Sunny let his temper flare and descended upon the easy - minded shadow with all the ferocious power of his cold and imposing Will.

'Come here, you!'

…That, too, felt like moving a mountain.

The thing, though, was that Sunny actually possessed enough willpower to move this particular mountain.

And so, the mountain responded his call and came to him.

'Ah…'

Sunny felt a crushing pressure fall upon him the second the shadow of Abundance reluctantly passed through the gate of his soul and escaped into the miniature world of Ariel's Game.

'That… uh… that should be quicker, no?'
