Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2364

Sunny was bleeding.

It was a peculiar and unpleasant thing, but he could not stem the flow of blood from his wounds.

His side was torn apart, and his forehead was cut. Blood was flowing down his face, stinging his eye. The world had turned half - red, and the shaft of his spear was slippery in his hand.

Of course, the smell of blood only made him hunger to kill his adversary more. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

The only thing he regretted was that the Wolf did not shed blood, as well, despite being cut and mangled by his spear - the vile thing was a corpse, after all, and corpses rarely bled.

Sunny himself was not a corpse, but he was not in the habit of bleeding either. Today was the exception to the rule, though, because of who his adversary was. The Wolf was the epitome of a predator, and therefore, everything that it hunted was prey… was supposed to be prey.

And it was the nature of the Wolf's prey to bleed.

To be mangled, torn, and devoured.

Sunny found himself struggling to push against the confines of being prey - of having this concept be forced upon him by the Will of the Wolf - and therefore, Blood Weave was cowering in fear of the malevolent spirit.

Of course, he was not bleeding as much as a normal person would - if he did, he would have turned into a corpse himself already. His Will was resisting the Cursed Demon viciously, and to great success. That was why Sunny was still alive, that was why the Wolf could not move freely on the slope of the volcano, and that was why the harrowing fiend had more wounds on its body than Sunny did.

And the reason why Sunny's Will was so effective against the Will of a being that was far more ancient, far more powerful, and far more frightening than him was, in large part, because he did not wield it blindly.

He wielded it as a swordsman would a sharp blade, with finesse and precision. He had donned the essence of the Hunter, too, making that weapon uniquely suited to fight against the Wolf.

Sunny pierced the Cursed Demon with his spear, scorched him with lava, and set his Obsidian Wasps upon it like hunting dogs. He poisoned its soul with Death Will, smothered it with ash, and chained it with manifested shadows.

He broke its fangs and shattered its bones, slamming the giant Wolf into the slope of the volcano with the power of a Supreme Titan. He made sure that every step the vile fiend made inside his Domain cost more than it could afford to pay.

And pay it would…

"Argh!"

Barely blocking the swipe of an enormous paw with the shaft of his spear, Sunny was tossed back.

The Wolf moved with speed which made the concept of time meaningless. The world - those parts of it that were not pushed by Sunny's own will - seemed still. Flakes of ash were frozen in the air, and fountains of lava had turned into glowing statues.

The sun stood motionless, half - hidden behind the horizon.

Feeling the iron taste of blood on his tongue, Sunny wanted to laugh.

He had wanted to hold out until the dawn exhausted itself, hadn't he?

That hope seemed senseless now. At the speed with which he and the Wolf were moving, the dawn might as well have been eternal.

Landing on the jagged rocks, Sunny slid on the ash and righted himself with the butt of his spear.
