Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2376

Chapter 2376 Missing Time

'I'm hurt…'

The first thing Sunny felt was pain. He was supposed to be in pain, considering that both his body and soul had been ravaged by the Wolf. But the mild suffering he had been enduring without even paying attention to was gone, replaced by a new and unfamiliar agony.

His entire body was in pain.

The pain was not concentrated in one spot, but instead emanated from a dozen different sources, fusing into one odious sensation. Therefore, Sunny had to conclude that he was seriously hurt.

',Since it hurts, I'm still alive.'

That was good news, at least. He opened his eyes slowly.

The black sky hung above him at an angle, awfully close. It was also made of scorched stone, with deep cracks running through its broken surface. Additionally, it was moving.

No… it was not the sky. He was staring at the ceiling of the Shrine of Truth. Or was it a wall? In any case, neither the ceiling nor the wall of the Shrine were moving. Instead, it was Sunny himself. He was being dragged across an uneven stone surface, its ridges biting into his back.

'What, the hell?'

The last thing he remembered was asking Kai to describe the Snow Demon. How did he end up back in the Shrine?

More importantly, why was he being dragged, and who was dragging him? Craning his neck, Sunny looked up.

Someone was holding his wrist in a vice-like grip, using it to drag his body across the stone like a sack of synthpaste. That someone was shrouded in a veil of ghostly smoke, which made discerning their form difficult. Sunny recognized them instantly, naturally. It was Slayer… however, Slayer looked much worse than she had before. Her light armour was torn and scorched, dark smoke was seeping from myriad ghastly wounds on her ebony body, and one of her arms was hanging limp, seemingly broken.

'What happened to Slayer?'

No, more importantly… What happened to him?

Sunny finally regained his senses and evaluated the situation. What he sensed sent him into utter shock.

First of all… the ceiling above him was indeed the wall of the Shrine of Truth. And it was indeed looming above him at an angle - that was because the entire Shrine was tilted, half of its vast interior drowned by lava. Slayer was currently dragging Sunny up the slope of one of the pillars, away from the radiant lava.

Secondly, there were several arrows sticking out of his body. The body itself was in even worse form than Slayer's, riddled with torn wounds and lacerations - new ones on top of the old ones. And most shocking of all, his entire right arm was missing.

',Where did my arm go?'

Where was his arm? Sunny was so shocked that he remained motionless, allowing Slayer to drag him to where the pillar met the ceiling. Letting go of his wrist, she straightened and observed the interior of the Shrine darkly.

Everything was too odd. Sunny simply could not understand what had happened, and what the situation was.

He let out a pained groan and sat up, then evaluated his condition somberly.

His wounds were quite severe, and his arm was indeed missing. Luckily, Blood Weave had prevented him from bleeding out, so his life was not at risk. His essence was nearly depleted, though, and his soul seemed to have sustained dire damage, as well.

His head ached horribly. Sunny had no words to describe his feelings.

'Something really bizarre must have happened.'

Manifesting a bit of shadows to create a replacement for his missing arm and hand, he grimaced and pulled one of the arrows out from between his ribs. He stared at it, then glanced up at Slayer.

"Mind telling me why one of your arrows was sticking out of me?"

'That… that knave! She used my own enchantments against me!' _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
