Shadow Slave
Chapter 188
Just like that, a week had passed. Miraculously, Sunny had survived.
Even more miraculously, he had somehow managed not to kill Effie... which was a big accomplishment in and of itself. In fact, by the end of it, their forced cohabitation had turned rather pleasant.
They were both solitary hunters, after all. There was an instinctive understanding between the two of them.
His overall combat skill and particularly comprehension of both his own battle style and that of the Stone Saint had improved by leaps and bounds. He felt faster, stronger, and better prepared to face the horrors of the Dream Realm.
Although he had yet to reach the same level of physical power that he had possessed before sacrificing a hundred shadow fragments to create the Shadow Saint, Sunny felt that the current him was far deadlier of an opponent.
Which was good, considering how fast the grim future was approaching.
...Currently, Sunny and Effie were sitting on the support beam of the main hall of the cathedral, looking down from the head-spinning height. Far below and away from them, the Black Knight walked through the patches of light and darkness, continuing his neverending patrol.
Effie scowled, then whispered:
"So this is the bastard?"
Sunny gave her a gloomy nod.
"Yeah. In the flesh… or whatever he has instead of it."
The unruly huntress gave him a long look.
"How the hell did you manage to live through a fight with that fiend?"
He grimaced.
"Barely. Also, calling it a fight is giving me too much credit. I just got myself gutted and crawled outside. He never leaves the cathedral, so I got away."
She shivered.
"Are you sure that he won't hear us?"
Sunny pointed down.
"As long as he doesn't walk past that column, and as long as we're not too loud and keep our voice down, we're safe. Trust me. I've been studying that bastard for two whole months."
Effie suddenly grinned.
"So… how loud are we talking about? Because I can promise to…"
Sunny rolled his eyes.
"Can you stop? We're in a temple, for gods' sake."
He didn't need to hear the end of the phrase to know that it was going to be highly suggestive and very inappropriate.
She quietly giggled.
"Fine, fine."
