Shadow Slave novel Chapter 871

Chapter 871: Wild Imaginations

"...A thousand duels, undefeated! He even went against Morgan of Valor before Ascending!"

"No way..."

"What do you mean, no way? The recordings are all over the network, dude!"

"No, Luster is right. I don't know much about the Dreamscape, but it is a fact that he contained a manifesting Gate as an Awakened. Alone."

"I also heard that he is a bastard son of a Saint from the House of Night... maybe

even of Nightwalker himself..."

"Actually, some say that he was created in a secret government laboratory from the DNA of powerful Nightmare Creatures. But the research was abandoned, with all records destroyed, because he was the only test subject who did not go completely mad."

"...I've heard that he is a woman, though?"

"Does he look like a woman, you idiot?"

"Well... now that you say it... he is strangely petite. Has anyone seen Captain undressed?"

"Belle. Did you get hit in the head during the last battle?!"

"Keep your voices down! You'll wake him up!"

...Already awake, Sunny was laying on his comfortable bed and listening to his subordinates gossip at the front of the steadily moving Rhino. His expression was... hard to describe.

'These fools...'

He had expected that much from Luster... but Kimmy? Not to mention Belle. Belle was supposed to be their reasonable senior, damn it!

With a sigh, Sunny rose, threw a neutral glance at the suddenly quiet trio, and then went to the kitchen to make some coffee. He poured himself a cup of the fragrant drink, added some synthetic sugar to it, then sat down in the lounge area of the APC and took a delighted sip.

Throughout all of it, three pairs of eyes were following his every move. Sunny shifted slightly, then looked at them in return.

"What? Is there something on my suit?"

His black bodysuit had already repaired the tears it received in the battle against the stone hive. Its smart fabric was truly something else... the more Sunny wore it, the more he understood how well-designed this unusual uniform was. One could argue whether it was dapper or not, but overall, he was extremely satisfied with his new equipment.

Hearing his question, Kim and Luster suddenly looked away with furtive expressions.

"No, no. It's nothing. Uh... you look great today, Captain!"

Sunny raised an eyebrow.

Belle, meanwhile, continued to stare at him with a strange expression. For some reason, Sunny suddenly felt an impulse to cover his chest with an arm. He frowned.

"Anything you want to ask?"

The swordsman simply nodded and smiled.

"Yeah... Captain, are you Mongrel?"
