Shadow Slave
Chapter 678
The three of them entered the Sanctuary, crossed the beautiful garden, and entered the sorcerer's residence through a familiar wooden door, Effie still sitting on Sunny's shoulders with a curious expression on her childish face.
The rooms within, however, had changed since the last time Sunny had seen them.
The luxurious furniture was gone, as well as beautiful decorations covering the walls. Instead, all that met them was barren stone, with a few broken Sailor Dolls laying on it, their limbs disassembled and laid out around the bodies like macabre pieces of art.
The floor of the whole central chamber was covered by a circle made out of a myriad of runes, powerful currents of soul essence flowing through it and dissipating into the ancient stones. Noctis was sitting in the center of the circle, his eyes closed. Without the familiar carefree smile, his beautiful face seemed ominous and strangely terrifying.
Hearing their footsteps, the sorcerer slowly exhaled. The crushing flood of essence slowly thinned, and then dissipated, retreating back into his body. He turned his head slightly and opened his eyes, which shone in the darkness for a moment, as though full of pale moonlight.
Then, they slowly turned human again, and Noctis smiled, returning to his usual laidback persona so suddenly that it seemed almost disturbing.
"Ah, Sunless, my friend! You are back! Sit down, have a drink… welcome!"
He stood up and outstretched a hand, as if trying to gesture at a set of comfortable seats. Then, a surprised expression appeared on the Transcendent's face, and he looked around the empty hall with a bit of confusion.
"Oh, right… I've been remodelling…"
Noctis sighed, then clapped his hands together.
"Well, no matter. Dolls! Bring my guests something to drink! They must be parched after their journey!"
His voice echoed around the residence… however, nothing happened.
He hesitated, then glanced at the broken mannequins lying on the floor and awkwardly shifted his feet.
"Ah. How unfortunate."
The sorcerer shook his head, then shrugged and looked at the three of them with a smile:
"Anyway... welcome!"
He tilted his head and stared at Effie, then blinked a couple of times.
"Ah, you have brought a ch—child with you. How curious. It doesn't bite, does it?"
Suny frowned, but before he could speak, Effie blurted with feigned outrage:
"I am not a child! I am twelve! Uh, almost."
