Shadow Slave
Chapter 892
Sunny remained on the southern wall for two days, silently staring at the ocean. In the meantime, thirty-six people vanished. Some of them were Awakened, and some of them were mundane. Despite safety measures growing more and more draconian, Verne had failed to prevent the disappearances. It was all futile.
And deeply, eerily frightening.
The stern Master came to talk to Sunny at some point, but left more frustrated than he had been before.
The fortress withstood another attack from a transient swarm of Nightmare Creatures. Just like the previous one, it came from the north. This time, Sunny did not participate in the battle, choosing instead to remain where he was. There were a few casualties.
The Awakened soldiers were all exhausted after remaining awake for more than a week. The stimulant patches were gradually losing their effectiveness. The mundane soldiers were better rested, but much more disturbed. They were all wary of the Nightmare Spell.
The civilians... were both exhausted and afraid. They had not been trained to withstand this kind of stress, and the seemingly unknowable nature of the vanishings was pushing them to the verge of panic. If not for the sense of order established and enforced by Verne's protocols and the hope of the Aridane's nearing arrival, they would have come completely undone by now.
The rescue ship was supposed to arrive in three or four days.
...Sunny silently looked at the water, deep in thought.
Hearing light steps, he glanced sideways and saw Beth, who was shivering in the cold as she approached him.
"Hey... Master Sunless."
He frowned.
"Hey."
The young woman looked at him silently for a while, then gritted her teeth.
"What are you doing? You've been stuck on this wall for days! You even ignored the last attack!"
Sunny tilted his head a little. When he responded, his voice sounded a bit strange:
