Shadow Slave novel Chapter 1026

1026 The Fall of Falcon Scott (44)

The graceful knight stared at him indifferently, not showing any reaction. The ruby jewels of her eyes glowed with menacing crimson flames, revealing no emotion. Sunny sighed.

"Oh, come on... don't you understand what is happening? Just... emote, please! It won't kill you... I think..."

Saint remained silent and as aloof as ever, causing his heart to ache.

Cursing under his breath, Sunny looked away and summoned the runes. The shimmering symbols appeared in the air in front of him:

Name: Sunless.

True Name: Lost from Light.

Rank: Ascended.

Class: Devil.

Shadow Cores: [4/7].

Shadow Fragments: [2973/4000].

Memories: [Silver Bell], [Puppeteer's Shroud], [Midnight Shard], [Extraordinary Rock], [Prowling Thorn], [Endless Spring], [Dark Wing], [Moonlight Shard], [Weaver's Mask], [Broken Oath], [Autumn Leaf], [Cruel Sight], [Covetous Coffer], [Heavenly Burden], [Memory of Fire], [Memory of Ice], [Strike of Thunder], [Morgan's Warbow], [Shadow Lantern], [Bone Singer], [Shadow Chair], [Overpriced Saddle], [Dying Wish], [Sin of Solace], [Bitter Cusp], [Stifled Scream], [Weaver's Needle], [Essence Pearl]. [Nimble Catch], [Shroud of Graceless Dusk], [Siege Souvenir], [Incessant Seeker].

His shadow fragments were already closing in on three thousand. That was not the important part, though.

Sunny studied the list of his Memories with a pained expression, then looked down and concentrated on Saint's name.

Shadow: [Onyx Saint]

...Shadow Fragments: [196/200].

He was so close... she was only three and a half fragments away from saturating the counter.

Sadly, there was no time to hunt for Memories anymore. There was no time for Saint to slowly recover in his care in case she got wounded, either, which was why he had not sent her to defend the wall in the last couple of days. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Sunny could have gone and begged for a few Memories from people he knew, but there was no need. He had been prepared to fail to reach his goal on time. All it meant was that he had to sacrifice several Memories of his own.

The problem was that he cherished all of his Memories. They were all useful in their own way.

Some were integral to his battle prowess, some were a form of insurance for unexpected situations. The Dark Wing and the Heavenly Burden, for example, were far from stellar Memories — however, he needed them in case there was no way to avoid an aerial fight. Other Memories possessed useful euchanlments that he wanted to replicate one day.

Some Memories Sunny had outgrown, but was attached to them sentimentally. More than that, he hoped to pass them on to Rain should she become a Sleeper.

Really, there was only one useless Memory in his arsenal — the Silver Bell. However, Sunny was reluctant to sacrifice it. That was the first Memory he had ever obtained, and the first Memory he had changed with sorcery. It was also a... a memento that reminded him of happier times.

'It's just a Dormant Memory of the Second Tier, too. Consuming it won't satiate Saint at all.‘

Nevertheless, he had to sacrifice something. In the end, Sunny sighed bitterly and summoned three Memories.

A heavy kunai, a glistening gem made of polished red coral, and an arrow with green fletching appeared in front of him.

The last one was the [Incessant Seeker] — an Ascended arrow of the Second Tier he had received recently. It was as powerful as the Strike of Thunder, but possessed enchantments that guided it toward a single target and enhanced the damage dealt to that sole enemy.
