Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2387

Chapter 2387 Divine Flesh

Right before the final traces of the dying sun vanished into the ocean of blazing clouds, Sunny drew a long breath and gazed at Slayer.

Wrapped in tendrils of spectral mist, she was polishing her sword's edge. His Shadow appeared... frayed, somewhat. One arm remained twisted and drooped uselessly, her protective gear was ripped apart, and even her covering was damaged.

Beneath the covering lay a face that Sunny recognized intimately by now — the stunning visage of the woman he had witnessed in the prophetic scenes... or more precisely, a variant of it apparently sculpted from perfect black volcanic glass.

She was the unrelenting tracker whose destiny had been to destroy the Demon of Fate. Her shadow, anyway.

...Certainly, even after discovering the incredible reality of Slayer's history, Sunny harbored reservations about its accuracy. Weaver was the lord of lies, after all. Would it be impossible for that mysterious rogue to slip deceptions into the contest their sibling created to expose only facts?

He couldn't tell.

Not that it was important...

With a breath, Sunny cast one final glance at Slayer and ordered the darkness to part, drawing her into their black void.

A moment afterward, she disappeared from the ruined mountainside.

Exactly as the ghostly pathway linking it to the far Shrine of Truth collapsed into dust, her elegant form materialized in the distance, atop the angled ceiling of the sinking temple.

Kai touched down on the earth beside Sunny as the peak trembled, streams of molten rock pouring from its broken summit to herald the conclusion of the Ash Domain's shift. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

He stared westward with a shocked look.

"...Sunny?"

Sunny released another breath and rose, massaging his face with his working hand. He stayed quiet for several heartbeats, then grinned wearily.

"Don't panic. I'm not abandoning our local maniac to perish."

With the shift complete, he couldn't feel the darkness blanketing the molten lake anymore. He also couldn't spot Slayer from this range... but he understood that she was there, standing isolated on the ancient temple's ceiling and watching him.

"I have a strategy, so calm down."

Kai paused for several moments, then breathed out and settled beside Sunny, setting his bow down with a shaking hand. He appeared completely drained, having pulled its massive string repeatedly with incredible velocity.

Kai wore an odd look, so Sunny inquired casually:

"What's wrong? You look somewhat distracted."

His companion waited briefly, then gestured dismissively.

"Oh, it's simply that we... we destroyed another god. The earlier occasions, it was mainly your achievement, but this evening, Lady Slayer and I played the primary parts. Obviously, it was only achievable due to your Will and the offerings we provided to the Altar of Truth, but nonetheless. We slaughtered a deity."

Sunny observed him for a short time, then grinned.

"That you accomplished."

Kai breathed out gradually.

"I simply feel like I ought to be amazed and horrified by that reality, but truthfully, I'm not even troubled. Seeing gods perish... has become ordinary, it appears. Incredible as that may seem."

He released an unsteady chuckle.
