Shadow Slave
Chapter 698
Sunny landed on the very edge of the island and froze there, looking forward with a dark expression on his bestial face. The others remained silent, too, feeling his unease and tension.
The land in front of them seemed tranquil… beautiful, even. There was an expanse of vibrant green grass, and some distance away, it made way for the calm waters of a vast lake. Its surface was perfectly still and reflective, making it seem as though a piece of the blue sky above had somehow gotten embedded into the ground.
A gentle wind caressed their faces, and nothing broke the peaceful silence except for the rustle of grass and the distant rattling of chains.
…And yet, Sunny couldn't help but feel a sense of imminent danger.
He sighed, and then glanced at his friends with uncertainty.
"...Should we summon our armor and weapons?"
Kai hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Wouldn't that be seen as a sign of distrust and hostility? Pure heart, pure thoughts… whatever that means… does not seem to fit with being armed and ready for a fight."
Sunny grimaced.
"Yeah… however, what if we do have to fight?"
Effie smiled.
"The four of us should be able to at least retreat safely, should things go wrong. I mean, how terrible can that thing be?"
Sunny shivered, then shook his head.
"Terrible enough for Saints to fear it. I've… I've been to this island a few times, in the future, but stuck to the edges, never approaching the lake. So I don't actually know what kind of a creature lives in its depths. However… I did see bones laying on the shore. And just those bones alone looked like they had belonged to things I would not want to meet."
He hesitated for a while, then glanced at Cassie.
"What do you think?"
The young woman tilted her head a little, then said calmly:
"I don't feel any danger. Maybe Noctis was honest, this time."
Sunny sighed. Cassie's intuition had guided each of them through countless dangers unscathed… if she felt that it was safe, there was a good reason to listen.
