  • Chapter 219 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 219 Relics of the Past Right there in the glimmering field of familiar runes, in the cluster describing his Aspect, a new string of them appeared. Aspect: . Aspect Rank: Divine. Aspect Abilities: . Aspect Legacy: . As soon as Sunny concentrated on the Aspect Legacy, new runes shined to describe it. Shadow Dance Description: Sunny coughed, trying hard not to think too much about the manner in which the Spell had described him. 'Again with this treacherous stuff… I'm not that treacherous,…
  • Chapter 218 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 218 Shadow Dance Sunny opened his eyes. The grand arch of white marble was exactly the same as when he had last seen it. The sun was already climbing the grey dome of the sky, chasing the remnants of the dark sea away. The rest of the cohort had woken up some time ago and were now preparing for the journey ahead. He had overslept. However, it didn't matter. With eyes burning with excitement, Sunny sat up and recalled everything that he had witnessed in his dream. The memories were still…
  • Chapter 217 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 217 Origin When Sunny realized that he was dreaming, the first thing that came to his mind was that there was another soul tree growing somewhere near the white arch. However, after a few moments of panic, he quickly dismissed this idea. After all, he had never actually dreamt while under the mind hex of the ancient fiend. He had just mistaken the broken memories of his conversation with Cassie for a dream. But this… this one was real. The dreamscape that surrounded Sunny was ephemeral,…
  • Chapter 216 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 216 Tacit Understanding Sunny stared at Nephis with a complicated expression. After a while, he asked: "Why did you entrust me with something so precious?" She glanced at him, lingered for a few moments, then shrugged. "We had a deal, remember? My knowledge in exchange for your share of the spoils we earn." There had indeed existed such a deal. However, he had not exactly acted in good faith when proposing it. After all, he had no use for those spoils, in the first place. Sunny scowled. If…
  • Chapter 215 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 215 Shapeless Observing the motions of two shadows that followed Nephis, Sunny was finally able to understand the foundation of the elusive shadow style. Before, he only sensed a hint of its essence. He knew that just like the shadow, the hidden battle art was insidious, shapeless, and everchanging. But this was where lay the problem: a battle style was, by definition, a structured framework of patterns and principles, a doctrine that dictated how one should act to defeat an enemy. That doctrine…
  • Chapter 214 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson 214 Transient Shadow Did Nephis distrust Caster for some reason? Sunny surely did, and to be entirely honest, he didn't even need any reason to do so. His intuition and general paranoia were enough. But Changing Star was different. He had learned a bitter lesson and now knew that everything she ever did had a firm logic behind it. Even if that logic was entirely different from that of a normal person. So if Nephis was hiding her true battle style from Caster, there was a reason for it. But it didn't…
  • Chapter 213 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 213 Sword Saints Back when Nephis was teaching Sunny how to use the sword, he had never been good enough to be her sparring partner. Once he learned enough to be of any use in a training fight, their fragile alliance had already broken and shattered to pieces. So, apart from that short altercation on the somber slopes of the Ashen Barrow, they had never actually crossed swords with each other. Now, it seemed, Changing Star had found a reliable sparring partner. Caster had not only replaced Sunny…
  • Chapter 212 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 212 Knights and Knaves "Uh… sure." One day Kai would inevitably learn that Sunny was not as honest of a person as he considered him to be, but until then, having the naive archer believe in this ridiculous notion was rather... beneficial. Turning away with a bit of awkwardness, Sunny glanced at Caster and called: "Next!" The proud Legacy was looking at Nightingale with a heavy expression. Hearing Sunny's voice, he lingered for a moment and then shook his head. It seemed that Caster did not…
  • Chapter 211 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 211 Game of Lies With a bit of disappointment, Sunny realized that all types of physical activities were out of the question. Not only because Effie was going to win every damn game, but also because Cassie couldn't participate in most. If that was the case, they would have to settle for a battle of wit, instead. After thinking for a while, he made a few preparations and addressed his companions in a mischievous tone: "Alright, let's have another competition. This time, it will be a challenge…
  • Chapter 210 — Shadow Slave Cover
    by Jennifer Wilson Chapter 210 Shadow of the Past 'Technically dead? What does she mean?' Sunny glanced at the others and saw that they, too, were confused. Everyone except for Caster, that is, who seemed like he knew something. A few moments passed in tense silence, which was broken by Changing Star's sigh. Looking at them, she said evenly: "My mother is one of the Hollow. She became Hollow while pregnant with me, actually. So I never really met her. Just her… body." Nephis grew silent. After a while, a strange smile…
