Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2634

Chapter 2634: Gathering Data

The flood of slithering, hungry flesh collided with the vanguard of the Shadow Legion.

A vast swath of the beautiful plaza exploded into a cloud of stone shards, then was restored to pristine condition, then was destroyed again.

The fallen immortals each possessed the power of a Great One, bending the very fabric of the world with their profane will. However, the enemies they faced were not weak, either — there, at the forefront of the great battle formation, the shades of the Black Millipedes and the Ember Queen flowed forward like a dark tide, unleashing their fury upon the abominable fiends.

The millipedes were connected to the Puppeteer through the ethereal strands of black silk, and through the Puppeteer to Sunny.

Suddenly, he could sense and command numerous monstrous, segmented bodies. Sunny had a myriad of sharp legs and a myriad of even sharper mandibles, using them to rip and tear the flesh of the immortal swarm to shreds.

The prisoners of the Eternal City were unmade, and then restored once again.

Countless shades were vanquished, returning into the dark embrace of his soul.

A moment later, the tide of millipedes rippled and changed its behavior. Instead of flowing forward like a tide of chilling, bestial fury, the millipede formed an unbreakable wall from their glossy black chitin. Those of them who had been cast by beings of higher Classes rose above that wall, spitting torrents of corrosive black acid at the advancing immortals...

For a few moments, the plaza was drowned by acrid smoke.

Then, segments of the chitin wall were breached or torn apart, and the carnage continued.

Sunny observed the battle through countless eyes — and through his own four pairs of them, as well.

"I’ve noticed something peculiar."

Jet’s voice was strangely calm despite the terrifying spectacle happening in front of them.

Sunny raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

She looked around. Her gaze lingered on Saint, Slayer, Nightmare, the gargantuan shape of Serpent wrapped around one of the Dark Castle’s towers, and the lumbering figure of Fiend far below.

"You seem to be holding back."

Sunny forced out a smile.

"I need to establish a baseline to know how fast my shades can be destroyed by these things. Once I know that, I will know how to plan for future battles better."

She frowned slightly.

"Are the losses you are suffering worth it?"

He grimaced.

"That is something I need to find out, as well."

Sunny was not going to sacrifice too many shades in pursuit of vital information, though. He was definitely not going to sacrifice the Ember Queen and her more powerful champions — so, when the wall of chitin came close to collapsing, he moved one to the next test.

Three of his incarnations stepped through the shadows and fused with him, augmenting his power.

’Ah... feels great.’

This was the strongest he had been after the final battle at Godgrave, so Sunny almost felt like himself again. Enjoying the feeling of ferocious power running through his veins, he cast his attention to something else.
