Chapter 575 - Confrontation

Sunny was tired of the silence, the emptiness, and the quiet dread The fear of the unknown had been pressing heavily onto his heart, and for a short moment, he wanted for this burdensoerous the resulting confrontation would be

But then, he had to grit his teeth and reer and frustration was a sure way to die Without knowing the scale of the threat, he had to remain calm and keep a cool head

His hand, already outstretched to summon a weapon, hovered in the air for a couple of moments, and then relaxed

Sunny sent one of his shadows forward, and soon saw hues, so stretchers with those of their brethren ere too heavily wounded to walk

The Lost… they were the reht Te, her red hair dirty and darim, dark expression on her face

'So there are survivors, after all…'

There were a dozen or so warriors who could still fight, although they didn't see lanterns and torches, the orange flareat hall back They were still too far away to notice Sunny and Cassie, but he had no doubt that they would be discovered soon

'What to do, what to do… wait, or hide?'

A moment later, the decision was made for him

As Sunny watched, one of the Lost suddenly approached Master Welthe and whispered so to her, then pointed directly at the shadow that was observing them from the darkness

'crap…'

Sunny was more or less certain in his ability to contend with one of the Ascended knights, provided of course that Saint and the Serpent were on his side With the dozen Lost supporting the opponent, though… it was a fight he would have preferred to avoid

Especially considering that what he needed the ht noas information, which the survivors possessed

Soon, a lone figure separated froroup of battered sentinels and headed their ith measured, steady steps As soon as Sunny saho it was, his face darkened

Master Pierce… the ed and severe as he had been when they first met, his steely eyes cold and hard The stubble on his cheeks had turned into a short beard and his lusterless scale ed in several places, but other than that, he looked exactly the sah the weeks of bloody horror had no effect on him at all

Now, the odds were really not in Sunny's favor

He was still sure of his ability to at least escape, though If need be…

Master Pierce approached the central platforaze Sunny cleared his throat and faked a shaky smile

"S—sir Pierce! Thank the Gods… eren't sure that anyone was left alive!"

To his left, Cassie suddenly tensed Knowing that shein the next few seconds, Sunny prepared for the worst However, noting that the blind girl re rash, as well

Master Pierce spoke, his voice dark and heavy:

"Well, well What do we have here…"

In the next moment, a vast ind of white sparks surrounded the platforures appeared fro them In an instant, the number of their potential eneh… he had to suppress a shi+ver Their empty eyes, their empty shadows… no, they weren't hu at hi an eerie, deeply disturbing, and threatening aura

Pierce stared at them coldly

"I see that the two of you are still alive"
