Shadow Slave
Chapter 343
He hesitated for a few moments, not sure how to answer. As seconds passed by, the silence between them grew tense, full of untold meaning.
Finally, Nephis blinked and looked away, staring at the corpse of the Crimson Terror. Her sword hand trembling slightly.
"...Killed it? Yes… I did. Got lucky, I guess…"
After a while, she added in a quiet voice:
"It was just a fake star, in the end."
Sunny smiled slightly, but his eyes remained cold.
"Lucky… I know a thing or two about being lucky, Neph. A creature like this would not have died just because of bad luck."
She remained silent for a bit, then sighed and looked down.
"It was evolving… trying to become a titan. The burden of transformation made it vulnerable. I just happened to attack while the Terror was at its weakest. That's why it died…"
'Evolving… into a titan?'
Noticing a surprised expression on his face, Changing Star grimaced and pointed to the artificial sun.
"Have you not thought about what we have done?"
Sunny looked up, at the radiant sphere of light, and frowned.
In all the chaos, he had indeed forgotten to consider the full scale of what had transpired after the battle, as well as the reasons for and consequences of it.
Come to think of it… why would the light of the artificial sun destroy the souls of every living creature it touched? It had not been like this before the fall of the ancient civilization, for many generations, at least.
But then, the Vessel had become corrupted and turned into a Nightmare Creature. The Terror. And at the same time, the seals imprisoning the curse of the all-consuming darkness had been destroyed, letting it free.
…So, in fact, the corrupted sun had never existed without the dark sea keeping it company.
Until today.
Sunny had always thought that the sun was restraining the dark sea. Could it be… that it had always been restrained by the darkness, as well?
And when he banished the ancient curse and locked it underground… the sun was finally liberated from its shackles. That's why its light suddenly changed, turning into the annihilating white radiance.
It had become free to do whatever it wanted.
But there was something else…
