Shadow Slave
Chapter 530
Rain looked at him with a serious expression, thinking.
Inwardly, Sunny sighed.
He still didn't know how to change her mentality and make her vicious enough to survive the Dream Realm. He didn't even know if he wanted to, and if that was the right thing to do.
At least she seemed to understand a little bit more about the truth of the world after surviving the Gate opening. For now, that was going to have to be enough.
And this conversation was his attempt to make the lesson stick.
After a while, Rain said with uncertainty:
"Survival?"
Sunny raised an eyebrow, looking at her with surprise.
What were the chances that, despite their different life experiences, his sister would answer the question the same way he had, all that time ago, in the desolate hell of the Forgotten Shore?
He remained silent for a while, remembering those terrible, wonderful days. Then, he shook his head.
"No. The essence of combat is murder."
Rain shivered slightly.
"M—murder?"
Sunny nodded.
"Of course. What else would it be? You have to kill your enemy, or die. Either way, someone ends up murdered, and someone ends up as the murderer. So, the purpose of combat training is to make sure that you're the murderer. It is really that simple."
He paused, and then added:
"Survival is important, of course… but that can't be your primary goal. Such a goal is a terrible one to have. Even in life, it is not enough. You have to survive to continue living, but if you only live to survive, then what is even the point? More than that, if you don't strive for something bigger, something better, then you will only ever do what is required and nothing else. Which will make you weaker than those who want and dare to do more, and that weakness will cost you your life…"
fell silent. Rain looked at him
"Uh… Sunny?"
