Shadow Slave

Chapter 810

A couple of days later, Sunny was staring at his living room with a strange expression on his face.

Everything had already been settled. He was leaving on another long expedition… this time, in the waking world instead of the Dream Realm. Somehow, it promised to be even more of a nightmare.

'Well, whatever.'

High matters of fate and conviction aside, Antarctica was still a perfect place for him to grow stronger. Now that Sunny was a Master, it was not as easy for him to gather shadow fragments. Only Fallen Nightmare Creatures and those more powerful would do.

Finding swarms of them was a task in and of itself, and the Southern Quadrant that was about to be devoured by an endless horde of abominations offered a perfect opportunity. Not only would he be able to work toward becoming a Tyrant, test his mettle, and sharpen his skill, there would also be plenty of soul shards for him to collect, which he needed to continue practicing weaving.

So, Sunny was supposed to be gathering his things and preparing to leave.

The thing was… that he had already done that before the ball, just in case he would have to run away in haste. Sunny had prepared so thoroughly that he could just walk out of the door and disappear right now.

'Huh. Weird.'

He sighed and then checked the refrigerator again, just to make sure that he did not leave anything that could spoil there.

'Nope, all clean.'

His communicator vibrated, then displayed a notification. The title of a network article appeared in view:

"Breaking news! A young hero is adopted by the brother-in-arms of her late father. Changing Star joins hands with the great clan Valor!"

The corner of his mouth twitched.

At that moment, the door opened, letting in Effie and Kai. The two looked around, noticing the condition of the house. A few moments later, the huntress shook her head.

"Damn… you are really leaving?"

Sunny closed the refrigerator, then walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"I am."

Effie stared at him for a couple of moments, then sighed.

"And you're still not going to tell us where?"

He smiled.

"Ah, I'm not at liberty to say. Don't worry, though. You'll probably learn in about a month."

She blinked.

"What's that supposed to mean?"
