Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2704

Slayer engaged the Cursed Wanderer in a lethal duel, which bought the Shadow Legion some time...

But, sadly, not a lot of time.

Even if she continued to hold the sinister apparition back, his army of wraiths was still assaulting the weakening formation of the silent shades. Saint, Fiend, and Serpent did their best to repel the enemy, but even their great strength was not enough to turn the tide of the battle.

Soon enough, the formation was going to break. The wraiths were going to wash over scattered shades, obliterating them. Then, they would assault the walls of the Dark Castle, bring them down, and slaughter its defenders. Lastly, Sunny would be left to face the horrors of the Eternal City alone, having lost both his shades and his Shadows.

He would probably be able to save Naeve, but the incarnation sewing Nightwalker and his shadow together would be interrupted, dooming the legendary founder of the House of Night.

That was unless the Flesh of Kanakht reached the Palace Island first and fused with the Soul of Kanakht, dooming all of them.

The ghastly mountain of bleeding flesh was already looming close, wading through the boiling lake with deceptively slow steps. Now that it was closer, its titanic size felt especially daunting... the Flesh of Kanakht was not exactly on the same level as Condemnation, but close to it, standing as tall as the Palace.

Actually, now that the Palace was collapsing, it was taller than it.

The abhorrent Titan could easily reach the roof of the failing dome with its hand... which meant that it could reach the Ivory Island, as well. It could also tear off the enormous wings of the Puppeteer or crush the entirety of the Dark Castle under one foot. ‘How are we even supposed to fight that thing?’

Sunny knew that he would manage, somehow, if push came to shove. But he was not looking forward to that particular battle.

He would have to survive the Dutchman and the wraith horde first to get the chance to survive against the Flesh of Kanakht, though.

East of the Palace Island, Nephis and the Madness of Kanakht were still locked in a furious battle. Sunny did not know what was going on there, but judging by the blinding radiance that enveloped the eastern sky, she was going all out.

The situation seemed hopeless...

But, luckily, it was not.

Continuing to stitch Nightwalker and his shadow together, Sunny smiled darkly. ‘Good job, Slayer.'

He had bought himself enough time.

Out there on the shattered battlefield in front of the Dark Castle, the formation of the Shadow Legion shifted faintly.

The towering gates of the castle opened. And then, suddenly, rows of new shades marched out of its maw.

Hundreds of them at first, then thousands. Most belonged to humans, but some belonged to magnificent beasts.

And all of them were exceedingly powerful. Sunny's smile widened.

Well, naturally they were. After all, they were the shadows of the immortals of the Eternal City.
