Shadow Slave novel Chapter 3072

A Supreme Devil was preparing to challenge a Great Devil. Both of them were Children of Nether, even if the vicissitudes of history had led them to different paths.

Saint was a Shadow now, while her adversary was a Nightmare Creature.

Their battle could end swiftly or rage for a long time, but either way, it was going to leave a bitter taste.

Sunny hesitated for a few moments, then chose to respect Saint's wishes and called his second incarnation back. Devoid of his support, she would only be able to rely on her own power in the clash against this fearsome foe.

Sunny could not say that he wasn't worried... but he wasn't worried that much, either. It would take more than a Great Devil to shake his confidence in Saint.

Standing by his side, Nephis frowned, but made no move to attack the Devil. She seemed to understand the poignant meaning of this clash.

Saint had not shown any doubt or hesitation when slaying the rest of the Children of Nether — in fact, she had been especially cold and ruthless while dealing with them. But now, it was apparent that she did view this battle as special.

Both she and her enemy wielded power over nothingness, so there was no telling how their clash would go...

But what transpired next was entirely beyond Sunny's expectations.

Something strange happened.

When Saint approached, the Great Devil finally moved. He had remained motionless before, even when his kin were being killed — but now, the towering colossus slowly removed one of his hands from the hilt of his immense sword.

Sunny frowned.

There was something odd about how the Tainted Saint moved. His movements were strained and unsure, as if he were bearing an impossible weight.

The Great Devil and Saint were still for a few long moments, looking at each other in cold silence. There were crimson flames burning behind the visor of Saint's helmet, while the helmet of her enemy only brimmed with darkness.

Then, the Tainted Saint slowly raised his hand...

And brought it down upon the blade of his great sword, shattering it.

As the shards of the giant blade fell to the ground, he arduously lowered himself to one knee and looked up, peering at Saint. Their silence seemed to say a lot, infused with unknown meaning.

Saint lingered for a few moments, then lowered her head slightly in a nod.

A moment later, her sword flashed forward, its blade plunging into the narrow crack of the Tainted Saint's visor. It tore through the back of his helmet next.

This time, there was no ruby dust spilling from the black blade.

The Great Devil swayed. Then, his armor collapsed and fell apart, as if there had never been anything inside it at all.

The Spell whispered into Sunny's ear.

[You have slain a Great Devil, Absence.]

[Your shadow grows stronger.]

The battle was over.

Sunny stared at the empty suit of armor with a stunned expression.

He released the Jade Titan form, turning back into a human.

"What just happened?"

In front of him, Saint stared at the remains of the Great Devil, motionless. She leaned down, picked up his helmet, and silently placed it at the base of the towering stele. Sunny looked at Nephis.
