Shadow Slave novel Chapter 1265

Chapter 1265 Dirty Job

Sunny had to spend a few moments calming down his wildly beating heart. Then, he looked around once again.

The situation… was much better than he had expected it to be.

He really had not considered that the grotesque tunnel left behind by the Azure Serpent would be only partially drowned. Slicing through the flesh of a Great Monster was no easy task, and doing so underwater would have been even harder. More than that, he was less restricted in the use of Shadow Step now.

But, most importantly, he could summon the Covetous Coffer.

Opening the alloy chest underwater would have just resulted in the spatial storage being instantly filled with water. Now that they stood on a solid surface, things were different… of course, the tunnel could be flooded at any moment, so they had to hurry.

Sunny looked at Nephis and flashed her a smile.

"Let's be quick!"

The sparks of light swirled around them, manifesting into Memories. Neph's flame was replaced by a luminous paper lantern, and a sizable alloy chest appeared on the porous pink surface of the Great Monster's bone.

A moments later, their weapons manifested, t...

"Am I reduced to a mere butcher's cleaver? Ah… such humiliation…"

Sunny almost yelped when a familiar figure emerged from the darkness. The Sin of Solace looked somberly at his disheveled appearance, then shook his head. He was still clad in the Shroud of Graceless Dusk, not to mention perfectly dry.

"Damn fool."

Sunny whispered a stifled curse and commanded the shadows to wrap themselves around the jade blade of the cursed sword, which Sunny whispered a stifled curse and commanded the shadows to wrap themselves around the jade blade of the cursed sword, which had manifested itself a split second before. Then, he hissed:

"Gods, you almost gave me a heart attack."

Nephis froze for a moment and looked at him with a slightly startled expression.

"Oh… did I? Sorry…"

Sunny's eyes widened.

"No, not you! I wasn't talking… ah, never mind."

The Sin of Solace observed him with a small, disdainful smile.

"I must say. This is a peculiar location for a date. Harvesting monster meat from inside the monster… I hope you won't force the poor girl to cook the meal herself, at least?"

Struggling to ignore the bastard, Sunny threw the lid of the Covetous Coffer open and then moved closer to the wall of the flesh tunnel. Pushing down the feeling of disgust, he gritted his teeth and thrust the jian forward.

It was so strange. The taste of the Black Turtle's meat was truly sublime. But the source of it… was so… revolting...

'Damn it.'

One of the enchantments of the Sin of Solace made it incredibly sharp, and it had been augmented by the shadows on top of that. And yet, cutting into the flesh of the dead Great Monster felt like he was trying to cut stone with a rusty blade.

Sunny had known that harvesting the turtle's meat would not be easy, just from the fact that chewing it was a tough task. However, the actual difficulty of trying to slice off a sizable chunk of the abomination's flesh was even greater than he had expected. Its durability in an uncooked state was simply preposterous.

'If that's hard, then how am I going to fight one of these things in the future?'

Sunny paused for a bit, then gritted his teeth. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
