Shadow Slave novel Chapter 781

Sunny shuddered, thinking that he was caught on fire... but then froze. Somehow, it did not seem like the white radiance was harming him at all. It just enveloped his body, making his skin shine with a suffused glow.

However, it was also not healing him.

Instead…

Sunny stared at Nephis with astonishment and asked in a low voice:

"What… what is happening?"

From the confused look on her face, she did not do whatever it was that had happened on purpose. Changing Star took an involuntary step back, removing her cool palm from his cheek, and briefly glanced at her hand.

The white glow was gone from it.

"I... I don't know."

Sunny opened his eyes wide and looked down on his shining body. Very strangely, he felt…

Empowered.

In fact, his condition was very similar to how he felt when one of his shadows was wrapped around him. His physical prowess seemed to have doubled. There were small differences, of course. The augmentation of Neph's flame seemed to be more furious and active, centered around strength and resilience. It also filled him with a soft, pleasant feeling of warmth.

What was more, it did not only affect his body. It reached into his soul, as well, igniting and enhancing it. The shadow essence flowing through his body became much more potent and vibrant, full of greater energy.

Sunny blinked.

Did Nephis just… augment him with her Aspect Ability?

"Since when can you augment other people?!"

Changing Star seemed to be as bewildered as he was, even though it did not show on her face.

"I can't! This… this was not supposed to happen. My Dormant Ability only evolved to include soul augmentation when I Ascended, it never evolved to be able to spread to other people!"

Sunny opened his mouth, then closed it again. Eventually, he hissed:

"Then how do you explain this?! I'm glowing!"

He waved his hand in the air, causing the shadows of the underground dojo to move and shift.

Then, a bizarre though entered his mind.

"Wait…"

Following his suspicion, Sunny lingered for a moment, and then commanded the gloomy shadow to wrap itself around Nephis.

The shadow did not even roll its eyes as it usually did when receiving an order. It eagerly slid forward and swiftly wrapped itself around the lithe, slender body of Changing Star.

Neph flinched.

"Huh?"

She studied her arms with wide eyes. Her ivory skin had turned grey, as if covered by dark film. Then, she made her hands into fists and frowned.

"I feel stronger..."

The two of them remained silent for a few moments, processing the implications of this unexpected discovery. Usually, Sunny felt a lot of negative emotions every time he thought about the Innate Ability of his Aspect, Shadow Bond, which tied him to Changing Star's will.

On this occasion, however, his curiosity and greed for power briefly overpowered his resentment.

If Shadow Bond allowed Nephis and him to augment each other to this degree… what else would they be capable of?

Neph seemed to come to the same conclusion. They glanced at each other, understanding the other's thoughts without having to say anything.

Sunny hesitated for a moment, then said:

"It causes you pain to use your Ability. We can stop now."

She slowly shook her head.

"No… no yet…"

With that, Sunny simply nodded and commanded the gloomy shadow to return and wrap itself around his body. At the same time, he ordered the other three to do the same.

Changing Star, meanwhile, concentrated for a moment, causing the white radiance suffusing his skin to grow many times more intense.

Sunny let out an audible gasp.

"Scary…" _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
