Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2387

Chapter 2387: Godmeat

Just before the last vestige of the setting sun drowned in the sea of fiery clouds, Sunny took a deep breath and looked at Slayer.

Surrounded by wisps of ghostly smoke, she was cleaning the blade of her sword. His Shadow seemed... tattered, a little. One of her arms was still mangled and hanging limply, her armor was shredded, and even her veil was torn.

Behind the veil was a face that Sunny knew all too well now — the beautiful face of the woman he had seen in the visions... or rather, a version of it seemingly carved from flawlessly black obsidian.

She was the relentless huntress whose fate it had been to slay the Demon of Fate. Her shadow, at least.

...Granted, even after learning the unbelievable truth of Slayer’s past, Sunny had his doubts about its veracity. Weaver was the master of deceit, after all. Was it beyond that nebulous scoundrel to sneak a lie into the game their brother designed to reveal only the truth?

He did not know.

Not that it mattered...

With a sigh, Sunny threw one last glance at Slayer and commanded the shadows to open, pulling her into their dark depths.

A moment later, she vanished from the devastated slope of the mountain.

Just as the ethereal bridge connecting it to the distant Shrine of Truth crumbled into ash, her graceful figure appeared far away, on the tilted roof of the drowning temple.

Kai landed on the ground near Sunny as the mountain quaked, rivers of lava flowing out of its shattered peak to announce the end of the Ash Domain’s move.

He looked west with a startled expression.

"...Sunny?"

Sunny let out another sigh and sat up, rubbing his face with his one functioning hand. He remained silent for a few moments, then smiled tiredly.

"Don’t worry. I am not leaving our resident psychopath for dead."

With the move finished, he could not sense the shadows covering the lake of lava anymore. Neither could he see Slayer from this distance... but he knew that she was there, standing alone on the roof of the ancient temple and looking at him.

"I have a plan, so relax."

Kai hesitated for a few moments, then sighed and sat down near Sunny, placing his bow on the ground with a trembling hand. He looked utterly exhausted, having drawn its heavy string time after time with stunning speed.

Kai had a strange expression on his face, so Sunny asked lazily:

"What’s the matter? You seem a little out of it."

His friend lingered for a moment, then shrugged.

"Oh, it’s just that we... we killed another deity. The previous times, it was mostly your doing, but tonight, Lady Slayer and I took the lead roles. Naturally, it was only possible because of your Will and the sacrifices we made to the Altar of Truth, but still. We killed a god."

Sunny studied him for a little while, then smiled.

"That you did."

Kai exhaled slowly.

"I just feel like I should be stunned and shocked by that fact, but honestly, I am not even bothered. Witnessing deities fall... has lost its novelty, it seems. Unbelievable as that might sound."

He let out a shaky laugh.
