Shadow Slave novel Chapter 1152

The Ivory Island was as peaceful and idyllic as ever. Sunny remained motionless for a few moments, enjoying the cool breeze and the view of the boundless expanse of the blue sky.

Come to think of it, it was rare to find such a tranquil haven in the Dream Realm. Even the Sanctuary, which was beautiful and serene in its own way, never felt safe - there was always the possibility of an attack, after all. What protected the Sanctuary was people, and people were not omnipotent.

The Crushing was a much more reliable guardian.

The three of them - Sunny, Nephis, and Cassie - had just arrived from the waking world. Sunny was wearing the Shroud of Dusk, since that was his best armor Memory. The other two, however, had slighted their combat armor in favor of lighter garments.

Cassie was wearing the familiar tunic and sea wave cloak, while Nephis was in something that he recognized as the black underlayer of the Starlight Legion Armor.

Sunny still couldn't believe that a mere

Awakened Memory of the Second Tier had survived years of wandering through the

Dream Realm and the Second Nightmare.

...But, in any way, the three of them looked like people ready for a vacation.

They weren't the only ones, either.

'What is this...'

Sunny glanced toward the entrance to the Tower, where two figures were waiting for them.

Effie was sitting on the ground, enjoying a veritable mountain of snacks. Her Transcendent armor was nowhere to be seen, leaving a lot of olive skin exposed to the sun and the wind. There was a relaxed, extremely pleased expression on her face.

Kai was standing nearby, wearing his military uniform. He was looking at the dragon bones that surrounded the Ivory Tower with a neutral expression on his handsome, slightly melancholic face.

Noticing the new arrivals, Effie happily waved a hand.

"Hey! We're here!"

Sunny walked over, both pleased and confused to see the two of them.

"I see that you're here... but why are you here?"

Kai turned around and smiled slightly.

"Hey. Our companies have spent a lot of time on the city walls recently, so we were rotated out of active duty for a couple of weeks. We're on leave." Effie nodded.

"Yeah. So when Cassie offered to go on a field trip, we had nothing better to do. Plus, we're curious to revisit a few places, too."

Sunny gave the blind girl a suspicious look. He was sure that he only decided to spend some time on the Chained Island this morning... when the hell had she found time to invite Effie and Kai?

Noticing his gaze, Cassie simply shrugged.

'Well, whatever.'

He was glad to see them, anyway.
