Shadow Slave

Chapter 1265

Sunny had to spend a few moments calming down his wildly beating heart. Then, he looked around once again. The situation... was much better than he had expected it to be. He really had not considered that the grotesque tunnel left behind by the Azure Serpent would be only partially drowned. Slicing through the flesh of a Great Monster was no easy task, and doing so underwater would have been even harder. More than that, he was less restricted in the use of Shadow Step now.

But, most importantly, he could summon the Covetous Coffer. Opening the alloy chest underwater would have just resulted in the spatial storage being instantly filled with water.

"Damn fool."

Sunny whispered a stifled curse and commanded the shadows to wrap themselves around the jade blade of the cursed sword, which had manifested itself a split second before. Then, he hissed:

"Gods, you almost gave me a heart attack."

Nephis froze for a moment and looked at him with a slightly startled expression.

"Oh... did I? Sorry..."

Sunny's eyes widened.
