Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2341

Chapter 2341: Cloud of Ash

The floor of the cavern was littered with fragments of shattered crystal. Sunny had recalled the Obsidian Wasps back into the dark depths of his soul and dismissed his helmet, inhaling the frigid air deeply.

Now that the sounds of the slaughter had ceased, the melodious tinkling of the crystal wind chimes permeated the silence once more.

He exhaled slowly, knowing that the soothing melody would be erased from existence before too long, as well.

’...Not bad, for my first move.’

He had taken one of the Snow figures off the board.

Taking a few steps forward, shards of crystal crunching under his feet, Sunny used the blade of his odachi to sweep some of them away. This was where he had killed the last of the Crystal Wasps, and so...

’There.’

Crouching, he reached down and picked up a jade figurine from beneath the shards. It was the Snow Beast figure — one representing the Ice Hive.

Sunny studied it for a few moments, then hid it inside his armor.

Then, with no more time to waste, he stepped through the shadows and returned to the cave where water was flowing into a deep pool from a forest of crystal stalactites. Manifesting a large cauldron, he hastily filled it with clear water and pulled it into the shadows, appearing on the slopes of the snowy mountain a few moments later.

Kai and Slayer were already waiting for him there, the last rays of the setting sun painting their silhouettes with fiery shades of scarlet.

Sunny offered them a friendly smile and brought some water to his lips, drinking greedily.

"Ah..."

’I guess it’s not poisoned.’

Then, he raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

Kai had been staring at him with wide eyes.

The charming archer shook his head slowly.

"N—no, nothing. It’s just... they were Great Beasts. All... all fifty of them..."

His gaze could penetrate solid rock, so he must have seen exactly how Sunny had dealt with the Crystal Wasps.

Sunny grinned.

"Were they? An expected result, then. It would be a shame if I couldn’t do this much as a Supreme... after all, I killed my first Great Devil as a Sleeper!"

Finally, he found a chance to work this one in!

Kai’s eyes trembled.

...And a moment later, the mountain trembled, as well.

Sunny sighed, then looked at his friend languidly.

"I suggest you brace yourself."

Kai frowned.
