Chapter 410 Reckoning

Sunny traveled northwest, trying to cover as argantuan chains as a swift shadow, soared up onto the island, traversed them on foot, and dove into the darkness once he reached the other side

He wasacross the Chained Isles with enviable speed… but still not as fast as so Shadow Step expended up a lot of shadow essence, so he had to replenish it often to continue riding the heavenly chains

That, however, put hihtmare Creatures of all kinds, as well as deadly natural… well, unnatural, really… threats Sunny had to re one shadorapped around his body while the other scouted ahead

He hid in the shadows to avoid fighting andering abominations or, if there was no other choice, teleported away These jumps, however, only served to devourhih the coils of the Soul Serpent as he waited for his cores to fill up

Most of the time, he didn't feel like there was a real threat to his life Sunny's combination of Attributes and Abilities made him a very hard prey to hunt No ed to slip away — for now, at least

As long as he did not venture into the territory of the really terrifying Nightmare Creatures, like those Corrupted fiends that clais that dwelled on the dark side of theed his essence carefully Against those powerful abouarantee of safety

He still reeon beneath the ruined cathedral in the Dark City

On his way, Sunny visited many islands that he had already explored before, and some that he never had a reason to visit Each was lethal in its oay, and hid alluringbut inescapable traps, of course He suppressed his curiosity and ht stars, the Chained Isles were stunning at night Even while rushi+ng forward and hiding fro and terrible land, Sunny couldn't help but marvel at its dark beauty

At dawn, Sunny finally reached the island that was supposed to be the first stop on his journey It was a desolate place where nothing lived, with rocky ground and plenty of small impact craters that had been left behind by the debris on the neighboring island

The chains holding that island in place had broken once, a long ti, it soared high into the sky and eventually fell apart, ripped to pieces by the Crushi+ng

Its rehbor was not of any particular to Sunny, but it was a good place to rest and catch his breath

Hiding in one of the craters, Sunny ate aThen, he looked at the rising sun, studied his map for a few minutes, and summoned Saint

As the taciturn deh of a distance to not subject hi effect of the Broken Oath, of course — Sunny glanced at her, tiredly rubbed his face, and said:

"I a to sleep You stand watch, please"

The Shadow stared at him indifferently for a second, then nocked an arrow on the string of her bow and turned away

Sunny sighed

He could do without sleep for a couple more days, but it ise to keep himself in the best possible shape One never knehat could happen in the Drea his pack as a pillow, Sunny lay down and close his eyes

'Just a few hours…'

A day later, he reached the Reckoning

The ominous island that sono less than a dozen kilometers across What's worse, it was supported by only two chains, which were situated alet to the next one, Sunny had no choice but to travel the whole length of the island

There was grass covering the ground, with a forest of tall evergreen trees visible in the distance He could see a rocky hill far aith a waterfall rushi+ng from a weathered cliff Just like everywhere on the Chained Isles, it was unclear where the water came froeness of this land to pay it any attention

The Reckoning seemed like a beautiful and tranquil place Idyllic, even

However, looking at it through the eyes of the shadow, Sunny couldn't help but feel a deep sense of unease So with this place

It was very picturesque, however, he couldn't see or hear any living beings on the island There was no sound other than the rustle of the wind, noof the trees There were no beasts, no insects, no… anything

Not a single Night the expanse of the peaceful island
