Shadow Slave novel Chapter 957

'Why... is this happening to me... twice in a row? W-what is this crap?!'

Sunny was being strangled and drowned, with his mutilated side on fire because of seawater getting into the ugly wound. The hateful Scavenger had turned out to be astonishingly strong for his demure size... or maybe it was Sunny who was too weak. He was utterly drained of essence, still recovering from being stomped on by a titan, and had a powerful toxin coursing through his veins on top of everything, after all.

In any case, no matter how desperately he tried to shake the little bastard off his body, it was all in vain.

'Argh!'

The thought of surviving an encounter with a Fallen Titan, only to be killed by this pathetic waste of an abomination, made him feel bitter and slighted. Especially because the damned gremlin was barely half his size...

"Just give up. Your life is meaningless, anyway."

Feeling his consciousness starting to slip, Sunny tried to snarl.

'Shut... the hell... up!'

The Sin of Solace remained silent for a moment, and then laughed.

"...It is amusing how desperately you are trying to survive, knowing that all that is waiting for you is a lifetime of being a slave."

That was the last drop... no, actually, being ambushed by the odious little goblin had been the last drop. After months of suffering setback after setback and enduring the stress of guiding men through a disastrous war campaign, having to restrain himself to project the image of a capable and composed leader, Sunny had finally had enough of it.

Suddenly, he was very, very angry.

He was positively furious.

Sunny was furious at the world itself, but since the spiteful gremlin was the only creature near him, the bastard was going to have to be the sole target of his anger.

'Get here, you wretched waif...'

Luckily, the scrawny abomination was no Goliath. Bone Weave might have surrendered to the titanic blow of the giant's stone foot, but it did not give in to the Scavengers unreasonably sharp teeth. So, Sunny had kept his finger, even though it got cruelly mangled.

Not even noticing the pain, he grabbed the hateful gremlin's face, and then pressed his left thumb into the creature's eye as hard as he could.

That, at least, got a reaction.

Shocked, the Scavenger recoiled... and even if it was only for a moment, his grip on Sunny's neck weakened.

That was all he needed.

Shifting beneath the abomination, Sunny managed to bend his knee, insert it between their bodies, and then throw the bastard away. The gluttonous goblin might have been far stronger than he had any business being, but he was still comparatively light. His scrawny body flew away, landing back on the stone shore.

'Where do you think you're going... I'm not finished with you yet, damned pest...'

Rising from the water, Sunny sucked in a hoarse breath, and then glared at the Scavenger with bloodshot, murderous eyes.

The bastard had to be in a world of pain... _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
