Chapter 525 Vengeful Ghosts (1/2)
Six days later, the cohort had almost reached the safe haven of the Citadel The speed hich they traveled reduced significantly due to the heavy wounds the Fire Keepers had sustained, so all things considered, it was a very good result
As days went by, their healer had continued tending to his companions, so by now, most had already recovered — except for those like Shakti with especially grave injuries, of course Those would only be healed after they had returned to the real world and then ca to sustain serious internal daed period of treatment
As the sun disappeared in the Sky Below, the cohort reluctantly made camp From where they were now, only a handful of islands separated them from the Sanctuary However, soht their hunting grounds, so the Fire Keepers were going to have toin the darkness was a big risk, they had no choice but to spend another night in the wilderness and continue their journey tomorrow
Sunny didn't mind
When everyone fell asleep, he quietly turned into a shadow and slid unseen between the lookouts The darkness of the night ht have been a threat to them, but to him, it was an ally
For Sunny, it was ti alone into the deadly expanse of the Chained Isles for the past five nights, and this one was not an exception
During that tiing Nightmare Creatures that he had studied before, and those that he knew al the latter ones was a deadly endeavor, but with Saint's help, he e victorious fro tooChain had also played a big part in his success, since even when Sunny received da had been able to pierce the bleak steel of his new ar across the heavenly chain, Sunny approached a neighboring island and soared into the sky, then crushed heavily to the ground The silver blade of the Cruel Sight gleaht as it runted, then walked forith a dark expression
The island he just reached was descending, but still high enough for hi Still, Sunny didn't care Tonight, nothing was going to stop hi his cores
Sunny walked between tall, jagged stones, approaching a large ruin that stood forlornly near the center of the island He had been to this place and explored it before, so he knehat kind of abominations made their nest in the ancient structure
The ruin ht have been beautiful once, but now, it arped and e of collapsing Sunny didn't knohat purpose it had once served, and hoas destroyed, but had concluded o that a terrible battle must have taken place inside the ruin once
The clues were in the central hall of the shattered building, where the stones were daed and looked like melted wax Its walls had collapsed outward, which told him that whatever force had devastated the structure had coardless of any of that, he had fought the dwellers of the ruin before There were two types of Nighted rocks The first ones were of the Awakened Rank, and resees of the island, and Sunny had already killedhis first oyles never went near the ruin itself, because there wereinside the ancient building Those were of the Fallen Rank, and looked like beautiful specters Beneath their eerie beauty, though, hid an ocean of madness, evil, and bloodlust The first time Sunny had encountered these wraiths, he barely escaped alive
Luckily, the wraiths only appeared at night
