Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2379

Chapter 2379 Point of No Return

Sunny had never discovered any solutions.

The puzzle of the Snow Demon stayed unresolved, and he suspected that he might never learn what that being had been and what it had done to him and his allies. Perhaps they would encounter each other again, someday, in the shadowy depths of the Shadow Realm.

But since Sunny did not even know what the strange Demon had appeared like — or if it had even appeared like anything at all — they would not identify each other. So, he could only comfort himself with the fact that the mysterious horror was dead.

Dejected, Sunny and Kai went back to the Shrine of Truth.

Slayer was still resting against the stone atop the angled pillar, apparently sleeping… Sunny had never witnessed a Shadow sleep before, so she must have been truly drained by what happened during the two lost days. He could call her back into the protective darkness of his soul, but that would mean not being able to call her again until her injuries were completely healed.

And that was a luxury he could not afford right now.

After all, three more Snow figures were going to encircle the Shrine of Truth come dawn — most probably. Now, there were only five of them remaining on the board: two Beasts, two Devils, and the Tyrant itself.

So, at least one of the three figures was probably going to be a Devil.

Sunny shut his eyes, suddenly conscious of just how bruised and damaged his body was. He was lacking an arm, damn it…

Well, actually, he wasn't lacking it anymore. He had located his arm, it was just not connected to his body.

'...That's somewhat amusing.'

Clenching his teeth, Sunny banished the Jade Mantle and the replacement arm he had created from the shadows. Then, he pushed the cut arm to the torn stump and swore quietly, focusing on managing the flow of his blood.

Kai watched him with a curious expression.

"What are you attempting?"

Sunny glanced at him and grinned darkly. "Trying to regrow an arm."

In reality, even some Saints could regenerate missing parts of their bodies — it just required a lot of time. Supremes were even more resilient, but Sunny naturally did not have much knowledge into how long it would take a Sovereign to regrow a limb... there was simply no information on that matter.

He recovered a lot quicker than most due to the Blood Weave, but still, reattaching a severed arm was going to waste much less time than growing an entirely new one. Plus… he was fond of his arms.

They had experienced a lot with him.

"I need both hands for cooking, you know? As well as for... other activities..."

His effort to brighten the mood failed.

After that, neither Sunny nor Kai talked for a while. Both felt discouraged.

They might have survived the fight, but it was not due to their ability or work. It was not even due to fortune… there was simply no reason for why they were still alive, which meant that they were only alive by chance.

Eventually, Kai breathed out.

"I don't know why I am shocked."

Sunny lifted an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Kai paused for a while, then smiled weakly.

"I guess it is because of you and Nephis. The two of you have a tendency of making the impossible appear normal. You are strong beyond logic, and the way both of you think is beyond logic too.

So, sometimes, it is simple to forget that the things you do are not logical. They are not normal at all."

He moved his head.

"It is not normal to defeat a god. In fact, it is completely unreasonable to even attempt fighting a god — especially an ancient, evil, corrupted one. And yet, that is what we have been doing ever since entering the weird realm, isn't it?

Not only that, but we've even managed to destroy several of those fallen deities. You appeared to take it in stride, so at some point, I found myself believing that that was how things were meant to be.
