Chapter 2414 The Incredible Adventures and Astonishing Deeds of Heroic Dreamer Sunless and his Dashing Best Friend Nightingale, Abridged (Volume IX)

Sunny leaned back in his chair.

He had a story to tell. And after having suffered through the story personally, he was going to enjoy himself telling it.

He began off in a solemn tone:

"A long time ago, the Demon of Fate and the Demon of Dread played a game. Only, being insane bastards, they played with Great and Cursed Nightmare Creatures instead of game pieces. And - what would you know? - Kai and I got sucked into the Death Game realm and given a choice between winning an unwinnable game or meeting our deaths. So, we went and won."

Nephis sighed. ".A little bit less short, please."

Seishan, meanwhile, glanced between them with a stunned expression. "Excuse me? Demon of Fate, Demon of Dread? Cursed Nightmare Creatures?"

Sunny grinned.

"You're excused. Anyway, where do I begin? First, we eradicated a swarm of one hundred Great Beasts. Then, we graduated to fighting Cursed abominations. The first one we killed was an infinite worm. And I mean literally infinite. That thing seemed like trouble, but actually, it died when I simply stepped on it."

Revel stared at him for a few seconds, then turned to Kai.

Kai waved a hand weakly, still exhausted from the ordeal. His voice was faint: "It's true. it's all true."

Her eyes widened. "No, but."

However, Sunny interrupted her.

"So, next we found a cozy temple on the peak of a mystical mountain and waited to be beset by a pack of frightening wolves led by a Cursed Demon, as well as a very impressive training dummy. I was really hungry by then, but sadly, there was no wolf meat left by the time I was done with them. In fact, there was barely any mountain left as well. I sort of blew it up to smithereens. it was quite a sight."

Nephis shifted slightly and gave him a strange look. "You. blew up a mountain?"

Sunny raised his chin.

"Sure did!"

He thought she would be proud of him, but for some reason, her gaze seemed a little dejected.

If Sunny did not know any better, he would have thought that Nephis was. pouting?

But that was impossible, naturally. After all, she was Changing Star, the last daughter of the Immortal Flame. The fearless Sovereign of Humanity. Surely, she would not mind him stealing her signature move?

'Right. No way!'

Sunny cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Well, in any case. Next, we killed another Cursed Demon and two Cursed Monsters. How? To be honest, I don't actually remember, but it must have been in quite a spectacular fashion."

Death Singer glanced at him, then at the other him laying on the couch with a miserable expression on his grimy. but unmistakably dashing. face. She raised an eyebrow.

"Uh. wait a minute? How can you not remember slaying a Cursed Demon and two Cursed Monsters, though?"

Those were Cursed Nightmare Creatures they were talking about! Actual deities!

Sunny gave her his most sincere, innocent smile and shrugged nonchalantly.

"It must have slipped my mind."

There was silence in the room for a while. Eventually, everyone turned to look at Kai in unison.

Exposed to their gazes, Kai smiled awkwardly.

"Oh. actually, I don't remember either."

Nephis and the Song sisters seemed deeply betrayed by that statement. Their reproachful gazes were obviously saying.

You too, Nightingale?

You too?

Kai coughed and glanced away in embarrassment.

Sunny chuckled.

"After that, though, something incredible happened!"

Four gazes turned to him once again. He paused for a few seconds, and continued in a happy tone:

"We finally procured a meal! Well, at least I did. There was this Cursed Beast, you see - an endless swarm of rats. And I mean literally endless. Turns out, a cursed rat roasted over lava is simply delicious. Blighted, diseased, and poisonous, but nonetheless piquant and delectable. I positively stuffed myself, and can you blame me?"

Death Singer paled a little and moved away from the incarnation on the couch. Her mumble was almost inaudible, but it still made Nephis let out a long sigh.
