Shadow Slave novel Chapter 3094

Nephis had yet to rise from the ground, and now, countless black chains shot from the darkness to pull her down, pressing her into the shattered stone with terrifying force. The cold chains melted and vanished like ghostly fog as soon as they touched her brilliant radiance, but there were simply too many of them — even as some were destroyed, more piled on, covering her like a dark tide.

At the same time, myriad figures rose from the dark spaces that her light couldn't reach, surrounding her like an army of monsters. They were the profane copy of the Shadow Legion — a swarm of twisted, ghastly apparitions born from elemental darkness. Their claws, stingers, and mandibles reached toward Nephis, aiming to sink into the pure white flames of her radiant body.

And most deadly of all, the dark expanse of a flawlessly black odachi was already falling, aimed at her neck.

That was the danger Nephis faced. However, if anything, she was better off than Sunny. Because while Nephis faced his dark copy, he was facing the dark copy of Nephis. And fighting Nephis — copy or not — was a truly terrifying prospect.

‘How is this even possible?’

As the tip of the pure-black version of the Blessing aimed at Sunny once again, he cursed and dove into the shadows. In the next moment, another ray of annihilating darkness pierced the world, followed by a devastating explosion. Instead of heat and flame, a wave of obliterating cold and elemental darkness washed over the ancient city, swallowing both light and the shadows it cast.

Sunny would have been expelled from their embrace, but he had already escaped it himself. Appearing behind the eerie facsimile of Nephis, he brandished his odachi, severing one of her arms at the shoulder. A split second later, the blade of his sword flashed again, cleaving deep into her torso.

Sunny swiftly disengaged, twisting the odachi as he pulled it free. The wounds he had dealt to the dark apparition were ghastly — more than enough to debilitate any enemy, if not outright kill them.

But the dark copy of Nephis did not seem to care at all. It turned, the eerie smile still playing on her lips. As she did, tendrils of impenetrable darkness shot from her severed shoulder, fusing with her falling arm; at the same time, the deep gash in her torso disappeared without a trace, washed away by the wave of dark flames.

A moment later, her flawlessly black body was whole and pristine once more, not a scratch on it. Even the rift on her tunic was gone.

Sunny stared at the black fabric, his expression dim.

‘Well that's just... cheating.'

He was suddenly covered in cold sweat — and it wasn't because of the aftershock of receiving soul damage.

It was simply because he knew what it meant to face Nephis on the battlefield. Nephis — Changing Star, the Star of Ruin — was a walking, breathing engine of mass destruction. Her powers were indescribably annihilating, capable of annihilating entire cities in one fell swoop. Worse than that, Sunny had personally armed her with a terrifying weapon that allowed her to focus that widespread destruction and channel it with pinpoint accuracy.
