Shadow Slave

Sunny had planned to catch a couple of hours of sleep, but in the end, he was too mesmerized by the promise of the Marble Shell to close his eyes even for a second. That new Attribute of his was both supremely powerful and complex, which meant that unlocking its full potential would demand a lot of insight and ingenuity.

If he did manage to master it, though...

Laying in the darkness of the sleeping niche, Sunny smiled ominously.

'What a great present. It should not have come as a surprise, though.'

The challenge of the [Prince of the Underworld] had been a steep one. Six thousand defeated opponents... most Awakened - those normal people that did not go out of their way to seek out battle after battle - would never face that many adversaries in their entire lifetime, perhaps.

More than that, Sunny suspected that the enchantment had actually had several stages, while he only completed the last one. After all, the counter of vanquished foes had already been filled to some extent by the time Sunny repaired the Mantle of the Underworld.

An Ascended armor of the sixth Tier, demanding six thousand kills to rise to the seventh.

If the onyx armor had started off as a Memory of the first Tier, demanding a thousand kills to rise to the second, two thousand to rise to the third... then it might have taken no less than twenty- one thousand defeated enemies for it to acquire the [Soulbound Relic] enchantment.

'What a scary number...'

No wonder the Marble Shell was such a potent Attribute... not to mention its connection to one of the daemons.
