Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2965

Chapter 2965 The Untold

A long time ago, there was a child whom no one wanted. The child conquered a Nightmare and was split into seven fragments, each fragment encompassing a part of the original boy's shattered heart. They were meant to wander the world together, perhaps, and never find themselves alone again. But instead, the fragment who knew no regret killed the others and reclaimed the parts of himself they contained.

However, he couldn't kill the last one... because the last one contained their death. And now, he was asking that pitiful fragment to kill him, instead.

Hearing Mordret's words, the other recoiled and looked at him with a terror-stricken expression.

He shook his head, as if the thought appalled him.

"N—no, no... I can't..."

Mordret smiled.

“I know.’

He remained still for a moment, his face contorting, then leaned forward.

“I know you can't. You are incapable of feeling all the emotions that I know so well — anger, resentment, contempt... oh, and hatred, of course. Despite everything I've done to you, you just can't bring yourself to hate me."

Mordret gritted his teeth, suppressing a groan.

“Ah, but... you love me, don't you?"

He let out a bitter laugh.

“It's funny, isn't it? I don't think anyone has ever loved me... except for the person I hate the most."

Drawing a shaking breath, he moved closer to his terrified reflection and grabbed him, pulling him closer until they were face-to-face.

"So kill me out of love, brother. If you truly love me, kill me before I become a beast."𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Behind them, the cold expanse of the mirror was almost entirely swallowed by the darkness now. A net of cracks appeared on its surface, and then it shattered with a deafening ring.

The shards scattered on the obsidian floor, still reflecting a lightless expanse of a fallen god's soul.

Mordret's eyes were now full of darkness, as well. He let go of his other self, groaned, and then smiled pleasantly.

“Then... you will finally know what hatred feels like, too."

His voice was cold and vicious.

As the other Mordret sat on the floor, frozen, Mordret took his hand and placed a shard of the mirror in it.

He sighed deeply.

"I'd like to say something profound in honor of this poignant moment... but, alas, nothing comes to mind."

Mordret remained silent for a moment, then laughed.

"Perhaps there is no conclusion more fitting, though."

He looked at his petrified other self, the smile slowly draining from his bloodied face. In the end, all that was left on it was a calm and emotionless coldness.

An absence of feelings so absolute that it was strangely sincere.

Mordret lingered for a few long moments, and then barked in a commanding tone:

"DO IT!"
