Chapter 359 Soul Serpent

Sunny stared at the runes for a while, then slightly tilted his head

'A Shadow…'

What an unexpected boon

Usually, a Legacy Relic came in the form of a Memory, or very rarely an Echo Perhaps there were some other types of Relics out there, but he had never heard of theh By now, Sunny was reasonably certain that there were a lot of things that he, as well as the rest of mundane humans, had never heard about Awakened kept a lot of secrets

Nevertheless, receiving a Shadow pleasantly surprised hi out of thin air:

Shadows: [Marble Saint], [Soul Serpent]

Sunny hesitated for a few moments, then furtively looked around The small room was e a little bit stupid, Sunny shook his head and suood look at it

A slight breezehappened

'Huh?'

Sunny frowned and looked around the room, then scratched the back of his head

'What the hell? Where is the daiant serpent made out of shadows appear in front of him, with black scales as thick as plate arh to s his enee-sized snake, at least!

But there was nothing

He even checked to see if a new shadow joined his two invaluable helpers, but no Both rested on the floor, one seely content, the other bored and in a perpetually bad mood

'Weird…'

He raised a hand to rub his eyes, but froze at the last mo dark on the skin of his wrist, peaking out slightly fro intuition, Sunny hastily stood up and took off the top of the training suit provided to him by the staff of the hospital complex Left naked to the waist, he then looked at hih the eyes of the shadow

'Huh?!'

Out there on his pale skin, an intricate ie of a black serpent was tattooed, so detailed that it almost seemed alive The serpent coiled around his arht hand, its head just above his left

"What? I have… a tattoo now?'

In the darkness of the small room, the serpent als threatening to break its surface It was striking, beautiful, and disturbing

Of course, Sunny recognized the serpent immediately Both the naetheir skin, after all

It was the Shadow God's mark

But why did his new Shadow turn into a tattoo?

Confused, Sunny listened to his body and soul, trying to feel if soed about them

And soon, he did notice a small difference

The flow of the shadow essence through his body had changed If previously it had circulated naturally, now, it see faster and with more intent, as if directed by the enhance my shadow essence control?'

To experiment, Sunny poured essence into his limbs and then performed several movements of Shadow Dance After that, he ju even more essence

He felt the difference instantly Not only was he able to control the essence better, but it also seehtly slower pace, and restore at a faster one

Soul Serpent served as a channel for it, existing both on the material and the spiritual plane As such, it was connected both to his cores and to his body, creating a strange bridge that allowed Sunny to use his shadow essence with better efficiency

'This is… a very useful Shadow'
