199 Cliffhanger 'Crap!' Jumping into the bottomless dark abyss, Sunny briefly regretted every decision he had ever made in his life. How did he end up in this situation? Where did he go wrong? However, there was no time for self-reflection. He wasn't ready to see his whole life flash before his eyes yet. There were more pressing matters. Before the momentum of his jump waned, Sunny summoned the Prowling Thorn. By the time the triangular dagger materialized in his hand, he was already…-

Chapter 198 Last Stand Sunny sighed. Of course, they had to cross the bridge. Why had he even bothered to ask? 'Great!' At least the damn thing was empty of the skeletons. The path to the other side of the chasm was clear. 'What is clear is that I'm going to die!' While Sunny was consumed by these unhappy ruminations, Effie and Caster quickly threw the few undead creatures remaining in front of them over the edge of the chasm. Finally safe from their constant attacks, most of the cohort took a chance…

Chapter 197 Ultimate Test Sunny cursed and prepared himself for the worst. A few moments later, the short respite they had gotten was over. With a sound that reminded him of rushing water, a terrifying wave of undead monsters crashed into their formation, threatening to break it apart. Effie braced for the impact and withstood the furious onslaught, somehow managing to split the wave in two. From one side, Changing Star dove into the torrent of skeletal wraiths, her incandescent sword cutting through…

After that, things became hectic. Sunny had to push himself to the limit to fight against multiple opponents while maintaining the pace with the rest of the group. Knowing that slowing down meant death, he slashed, dodged, blocked and moved back without allowing himself even a moment of respite. Slowly but surely, countless wounds began accumulating on his body. But even then, it wasn't enough. So he pushed himself past his limit. After all, this was the exact situation he had been preparing…

Once the cohort was surrounded from every side, Sunny, Cassie and Kai had to join the battle in earnest. Sunny wasn't too worried for the blind girl and the archer because they were protected by both the Stone Saint and the Quiet Dancer. His Shadow was possibly the worst enemy the bloodthirsty skeletons could face. Moving with the cold precision of an emotionless battle machine, she used both her sword and shield to deflect and destroy any enemy that dared to approach them from the sides. The…

'How… how the hell is this thing even moving?' Defying all logic, the skeleton lunged at Effie with a speed that even Sunny himself wasn't capable of. With no muscle tissue connecting the bones together, the strange creature was still able to stand upright, run… and attack with vicious strength. A moment before the undead monster closed the distance between them, Effie screamed: "Stay together!" Then, she turned her torso and slammed her shield against the lunging monstrosity. With a…

Without wasting any time, Nephis silently jumped into the crevice. Just before she did, white flames ignited in her eyes. The darkness swallowed her lithe figure whole, like the maw of some unknown creature. 'Damn it all.' With a resentful expression on his face, Sunny stepped forward. However, before he could approach the crevice, Caster inadvertently blocked his path. A moment later, the proud Legacy was gone, too. Sunny lingered for a moment and then looked back. He wanted to check if Cassie…

As somber silence settled among the cohort, Effie grimaced. "The weirdest part is, no one has even seen him come and go. Every time Harus was sent into the outer settlement, we only learned that people were dead in the morning. Doors, locks, and barricades can't seem to stop him, either. Once Harus is ordered to kill you, you just die. It is as though fate itself abandons you." Caster frowned. "So are you telling us that we stand no chance?" The huntress shook her head. "I'm saying that…

"Something is following us." Sunny's frown deepened. Not wasting any time, he moved forward and caught up to Nephis, Caster, and Effie. The huntress glanced at him and slightly tensed. "Did your shadow notice an enemy?" The shadow was currently a few hundred meters ahead of the cohort, scouting for any signs of danger. He shook his head. "Cassie felt that we are being followed. I'm going to withdraw the shadow and sent it back to take a look. Stay vigilant." Effie gave him a nod. Of…

Sunny was walking at the back of the cohort, but his shadow was scouting ahead. Without it by his side, he was rather uncomfortable. 'I wonder if I can summon the Stone Saint while it is away. How have I never thought to check it?' Without both his shadow and his Shadow, Sunny felt almost nacked. At least he had other people with him, including three powerhouses — Nephis, Caster, and Effie. Come to think of it, he had never seen Kai in action. The beautiful archer didn't look like someone…
