Chapter 590 - The Host (1/2)

Indeed, it was as Sunny had thought

Mordret had learned his secrets from the mirror shard left behind by his Beast He didn't really know of his Aspect… he only knew of its reflection

And that reflection was inco prince had assu his True Na the possibility that Lost froht already had a master into account… but Sunny was half a step ahead He had doused that caution by being ready to pretend to be enslaved…

And then attacked

The Cruel Sight shot forward, narrowly avoiding thedeep into his flesh It cut through the enchanted black tunic, pierced Welthe's body, and eed from her back

Mordret's face contorted, his eyes full of shock and pain

Sunny, of course, couldn't see it, since he was still relying on shadow sense to navigate the world All he felt was a treh his eneroaned, a strea from hisSunny to stagger back The Cruel Sight slid out of the terrible wound, wrecking htly disappointed that he had not been able to end the fight right there and then, but it hardly mattered

The wound he had delivered was not immediately fatal, but deadly nevertheless Now, all he had to do ait for the eneh to stem the flood of blood he had caused…

Mordret, it seemed, realized the same, and dashed forward in a desperate attempt to kill Sunny before the blood loss ht

'What…'

Instead of attacking with the saber, the Prince of Nothing used it to push the Cruel Sight aside, and continued tohim by the throat

'Is he crazy?!'

At such a close distance, Sunny had all the advantages Mordret couldn't slash with the saber, but he could easily bring his shortsword back for a killing thrust, long before anyone would have been able to strangle him

This attack made no sense

However, in the next

And then, his chest was pierced by a blinding explosion of pain

Sunny screaainst all logic, the Prince of Nothing seeone

Instead, it was as though Sunny had run hih with a sword He could feel a deep wound in his chest, even though the surface of the Undying Chain re through the pain, he rolled away, dodging the descending saber Luckily for hi to dash toward Cassie and the mirror trap

'dah Sunny was not entirely clear on what had happened and how he had ended up with a hole in his chest, he had an inkling Welthe's Aspect see the ene your own… al it A Master had three Aspect Abilities…

Was her third Ability capable of transferring wounds fro to die by his oord?

No… no, he wouldn't

Unlike Mordret, Sunny was not going to bleed to death In fact, he was barely bleeding at all His body was pierced and heavily daed, but fortunately, blood loss was one of the two causes of death he was practically i broken bones

The evolved Weaves of his body would not allow such a thing to happen

"Argh!"

Growling frohtly He didn't feel too well… in fact, he felt pretty terrible Every breath was torture, and his heartbeat was strange and irregular Every contraction sent a pulse of suffering rolling through his body

'It's alright I've been through worse… I think…'

Sunny willed the Midnight Shard to manifest itself into existence, and tried to assess as happening around him

Mordret was already upon Cassie, his saber flashi+ng toward her neck The blind girlclearly as it deflected the eneirl survived…

However, she was pushed back, away from the mirror trap

As soon as her hand left the surface of the wooden box and the flow of soul essence was interrupted, the glow of the engraved pattern shi+uished
