Chapter 122 Four Months Ago

Nephis changed a lot since the last time Sunny had seen her

Outwardly, she looked alh existing slightly apart froht Legion Arraceful lines of her slender, lithe body Only now, there was also a white cloak draped over her shoulders, close in color to the pristineStar's silver hair washer shoulders Without the short to Sunny's heart beat a little faster Her cal as ever

The true changes, however, hid much deeper Perhaps only a person who knew her as well as Sunny did could notice them, or perhaps it was precisely because he had come to know her so well that the veil of detached indifference shrouding her true self cracked, revealing the deeper feelings beneath

Nephis seemed to be much more alive now, much more present Her eyes shi+ned with resolve and deter of temperate confidence

…This was her power The power of conviction

Sunny shi+vered under that gaze

Neph was the person he longed to see the ain She was the true reason why he had to leave the castle

If only he had known at the ti, really

Four ht that they had ventured into the cursed sea on a boatin the wind

…After an eternity spent in the cold eht of their escape was finally drawing its last breaths He shi+fted and turned to the east, where a ghostly line of pale lilac appeared over the horizon

Tre, he licked his lips and said in a raspy voice:

"Cas Cassie It's "

After he uttered these words, the last re disappeared, and he slu

A neas ready to bathe the desolate hell of the Forgotten Shore in warht They had survived

The three Sleepers were perched on a giant stone hand that protruded frohtless abyss by a Goddess Sunny and Cassie were holding each other for war in the center of the stone palaps in the shattered armor, her ivory skin was pale and listless

'We did it'

They had escaped the clutches of Soul Devourer, sailed through the cursed darkness, and even lived through a battle with the horrifying dweller of the depths… by some miracle

Sunny couldn't quite believe that they had actuallyescape off From the moment he had learned about the enthrallment hex put onto their minds by the ancient fiend, he felt that the chances of ever saving theluttonous evil tree were more than slierous and tested weapon his mind

And yet, somehow, they had succeeded

Utterly exhausted, Sunny closed his eyes and listened to the dark sea as it retreated to hide fro it, he slipped into the embrace of sleep

When he awoke, the sun was already high in the sky Sunny expected to feel crippled now that adrenalin had left his battered body, but, to his surprise, he wasn't in even half as much pain as he had anticipated Blood Weave was truly a miraculous Attribute to have for someone as prone to disasters as he was

Even his broken finger wasn't hurting that roan while sitting up, though

Cassie was sleeping by his side, as drained by the events of the previous night as he was… perhaps even more so Her delicate face seemed vulnerable and pale, twisted in an anxious frown Sunny sighed

Nephis had yet to regain her senses At soirl had used her cloak to cover Changing Star, helping her to preserve some warmth Neph lay still and motionless, her face drained of all color Only the quiet sound of her breathing told Sunny that she was still alive

He treled flesh restoring itself in the crucible of purifying fla that flainable pain and suffering Who knehat price she had paid to pull herself away from the doors of oblivion? He had not even realized before that she could use it to heal herself

Perhaps there was a reason why she had never done so in the past Only time could tell

'It's ti away fro to discern their current circumstances His heart was heavy

If they had survived the attack of the tentacleshi+pwreck only to find themselves stranded in the middle of the cursed sea, with no way to continue forward, that would be a truly macabre twist of fate
