Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2886

“Pathetic."

Azarax was leaning on the rocks, hidden from the sun. Sunny was not sure if the ancient tyrant was aware that he had begun to shy away from direct sunlight as of late, but it was not difficult to notice.

The towering skeleton moved his axe slightly, staring at the two of them holding hands with his empty eye sockets.

"The two of you disgust me to the core simply by virtue of being who you are, but on top of that, you are an offence to the very idea of a Supreme."

He clacked his teeth.

“A Supreme is someone who submits to no one... at least not voluntarily. On the contrary, simply by existing, he forces others to submit to him. Therefore, two Supremes can never coexist as equals. Ideally, one will kill and plunder the lands of the other — at worst, one will be conquered but stay alive."

Azarax shook his head.

"Yet here you are, pretending to be love birds. How appalling. One of you should have killed the other a long time ago."

He glared at them and spat:

“And how are you so ignorant and weak? Pathetic, truly pathetic. Is this what remains of the Flame? If so, you shame your ancestors."

Sunny gave him a cold look.

The ancient tyrant was not entirely wrong. Compared to him, they were indeed ignorant in some areas and could be perceived as weaker than the dire enemies he had faced in the past.

However...

"Hey, you fossil. Remind me, what were you doing twelve years ago?"

Azarax grinned.

"Hanging on the tree."

Sunny nodded.

“In all your Supreme glory. Do you know what we were doing twelve years ago, though? Trying to survive as mundane humans. It only took us ten years to become Supreme. How long did it take you?"

Azarax laughed.

“A Dormant human becoming Supreme in ten years? Preposterous. Even I, the great and terrible Azarax, spent centuries climbing to the throne of Supremacy. Stick to the truth, Shadow. You are a terrible liar.”

Sunny smiled.

"Oh, no. I am the most honest person in the world, actually — two worlds, even. So, let me tell you the honest truth... you've been around for thousands of years, and you are still merely a Supreme. Now that's truly pathetic."

He shook his head.

"Plus, the previous rulers of our realm had similar ideas to yours. The world is too small for two Supremes, gaining ultimate power through civil war conquest... crap like that. Not only did it bring unspeakable harm to our world, but we killed those Supremes — together. I'd say that proves my point, no?"

Azarax just gnashed his teeth silently. Letting out a sigh, Sunny looked around the desert.

As the sun rose a little higher, he sighed and spoke to Nephis:

"Because they were abominations. They were something that was not supposed to exist — their very existence went against the laws of everything. Things can be either Divine or Unholy, either of the Flame or of the Void. But they were both, and therefore, in contradiction to everything that is right, good, and holy:" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
