'What the hell am I doing…'
Indeed. The wall of the city was breached, a menacing Nightmare Gate was towering above him, and not too far away, a furious battle was raging in the rabble of the staging area. And yet, Sunny was staring at the runes that shimmered brightly in the air in front of him.
His vision was a little blurry, but the runes were clear and perfectly legible, as if existing outside of reality. Which they probably did.
'Oh, well…'
Sunny needed a couple of minutes to recover, anyway.
He looked at the field of runes, searching for the names of his Shadows. A new string of them replaced the old one:
[Onyx Saint]
'Onyx, huh…'
That had a nice ring to it.
Marble Saint had turned into Onyx Saint. Was his Marble Shell going to evolve into the Onyx Shell, as well, once he Transcended?
Sunny would have loved to pursue that train of thought, but unfortunately, he couldn't. His thoughts were slow and erratic, refusing to consider anything too complicated.
Today, I published the 1000th chapter of Shadow Slave. It has been a long journey, and I am delighted to know that so many people enjoyed making it with me. The joy and pride I feel when looking at that beautiful number… can only be compared to the dread I feel knowing that there is a couple thousand more chapters I still have to write ;D
In honor of this milestone, the Shadow Slave community will be having a small celebration on July 10th. If you wish join us, visit the Guilty Guild — our Discord server :]
Hope you're having a fantastic day
Cheers!
