Shadow Slave
Chapter 70
Sunny looked at the wounded demon, a grim look of resolve on his face.
At this point, there was no reason to argue. They had no other choice but to face the guardian of the island themselves. Sunny's bag of tricks was all empty anyway — in the end, their fates were still going to be decided by sharp blades.
Someone was going to get killed, and someone was going to be the killer.
"How are we going to deal with his armor?"
Nephis weighed the sword in her hand and glanced down.
"I will break through the armor. Can you create an opening?"
Sunny nodded, not wasting time on unnecessary questions. If Changing Star was certain of her ability to cut through the demon's carapace, he had no reason to doubt it.
Creating an opening… that was not going to be easy. Even though the monster had suffered terrible injuries, he was still a force to be reckoned with. His size alone was going to pose difficulties. They would have to bring the behemoth down to his knees before even thinking of carrying out any sort of an effective attack.
And he was not just going to stand still under their assault, either.
But what else was there to do?
While Nephis was tying the golden rope to the branch, Sunny walked over to Cassie and lightly squeezed her shoulder.
She tried to force a smile.
"I take it that the Carapace Demon is still alive?"
Despite the heavy, cold, dark feeling gripping his heart, Sunny tried to make his voice sound relaxed and carefree.
"Yeah, but just barely. Don't worry too much. This whole thing will be over in no time."
'One way or another,' he added inwardly.
Cassie's smile weakened. She was clearly not convinced by his clumsy attempt to reassure her.
Sunny hesitated.
"Hey. Have you ever eaten demon meat?"

Sunny grinned.
