Shadow Slave novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439 Do or Die

Sunny stared into the darkness with an incredulous expression, then shrugged:

"Sure. Whatever. Nice to make your acquaintance… Your Highness. I am called Sunless, by the way. Sadly, no title."

Silently, though, he thought:

'...The young prince that the Dreamspawn had taken away?'

Oblivious to his suspicions, Mordret hesitated, then asked politely:

"Sunless? What an unusual name."

Sunny grimaced. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

"Yes. My mother had a… on second thought, forget that! Are you going to tell me about the divine flame or not?"

The Prince of Nothing was silent for a bit, then said:

"There is not much to tell. The heat of those flames is absolutely deadly. Unless you have some way to fly, you are in big trouble. Which, I assume, you don't… otherwise, you wouldn't be in this predicament, to begin with. Right?"

Sunny glanced into the darkness with a resentful expression.

"That I already figured out myself. Tell me something that I don't know, genius."

The void chuckled.

"Fine. But only because you asked nicely…"

Then, it disappeared.

Sunny's face twitched.

"Goddammit! He's gone again!"

But a second later, Mordret's voice suddenly resounded from the darkness:

"No, no. There is still time. I was just thinking…"

He was quiet for a few moments, then said hesitantly:

"There is actually a path through the divine flame. An empty rift in the tapestry of stars where none of it remains. If you find it, you might survive."

Although it was hard to control his emotions these days, Sunny tried his hardest to suppress the misplaced anger and calm himself down. When he spoke, his voice sounded almost even:
