Shadow Slave novel Chapter 847

The swarm had lost its leader, the momentum of its charge had been crushed, the secret weapon of the eyeless abominations had been rendered useless, and most importantly of all, scores of them had already lost their lives

But the Nightmare Creatures still presented a mortal danger to the cohort.

There were still enough of them to bury Sunny and his soldiers under a mountain of flesh, claws, and fangs. More than a dozen Fallen abominations remained, as well, rushing forward to devour the seven humans.

An ugly smile appeared on Sunny's face.

'Come get us, then…'

As the blade of the Cruel Sight shone with incandescent light, he sliced through the body of a lunging beast and issued a quick command:

"Vanguard, follow me!"

He put the shaft of the somber spear in the way of a snarling maw, shifted his weight to throw the enemy to the ground, and struck another abomination with the butt of his weapon.

"Kim, move forward to the crest of the hill. Samara, get closer and keep pressuring the Fallen!"

As he spun and unleashed a diagonal cut, beheading a disoriented monster, a new Memory was already weaving itself into existence.

A thin iron chain was soon wrapped around his neck. On it hung a small statuette in the form of a beautiful young woman that held a spear in one hand and a human heart in another. Blood was pouring from a gaping wound on her bared chest.

The Dying Wish seemed to come alive as his essence flowed into it.

[Death Wish] Enchantment Description: "Those who witness the wielder of this Memory are compelled; friends to be inspired, foes to seek the wielder out. The power of the Memory grows the more enemies they give the gift of death, and can be consumed to heal the wielder's wounds."

Death Charge: [0/1000]

Now that Sunny was at the front of the cohort's battle formation, both his soldiers and the Nightmare Creatures could see him clearly. Well… he wasn't sure if the eyeless abominations could see anything, but they definitely perceived him in some mysterious way.

The effect of the Transcendent charm could be felt instantly. Behind him, the four fighters of the melee vanguard were suddenly reinvigorated. Their movements grew faster, sharper, and more focused. The enemies, on the other hand, became even more frenzied. They lunged at Sunny like rabid beasts, consumed by blind hatred, hunger, and madness.

With all this fury mostly concentrated on him and him alone, Quentin, Belle, Dorn, and Luster gained some space to breathe.

Which was a good thing, but...

'Crap!'
