Chapter 604 - Shadow Gladiator (1/2)

There ooden fences built throughout the arena, partitioning it into many small enclosures, each connected to a next one by a rusty iron gate Currently, Sunny was at the very edge of the colosseum, with one of its stone walls behind hi box, sharp spikesto escape

…And that was unmistakably where he found hiht each other for the entertainhtered by the other gladiators or their own e For one thing, the slaves were predominantly wild beasts and monsters of all kinds, as opposed to captured hu weirdly, too After his experience in the Dreamscape, Sunny expected to see the spectators overwhelmed by bloodthirst and dark, cruel fascination

Instead, these people seeh they were genuinely happy for the gladiators, even a little bit… jealous? The croas undulating and shi+fting, singing one word over and over again:

"Glory! Glory! Glory!"

Their voices , thunderous roar

'What the hell is wrong with these bastards…'

Sadly, Sunny didn't have a lot of tier probleht in front of hio of the chain, its powerful body covered in dirty brown fur Four s, and six eyes burning with ht at the island covered by strange, twisted trees

And it wasn't alone

Twolow to the ground as guttural growls escaped from their maws

'da to discern the Rank and Class of the murderous beasts They seemed a lot smaller than the Fallen Monster he had killed before, at least — sio vehicle His newfound ability to peer into the souls of living things and see their soul cores was going to come in handy

However, what he saw beneath their tough hides left hiht, the creatures had hideous s, veins of it spreading throughout their souls like cancerous growths In the depths of that darkness, so to break free

The sight of it was both frightening and repulsive

It re rot he had witnessed in the Ebony Towe, growing from the severed arm of Weaver

'So this is what soul cores of the Nightmare Creatures look like'

Sunny had no idea how to judge the Rank of such cores, since he only knew to rowths of darkness in the dread wolves see nods each, which at least told him that they were mere monsters

Not that it helped hiainst three ht in this new, unfamiliar body?

'Curse it!'

…He was also not at all happy with the fact that this gaunt and powerful body was standing more than two meters tall, devoid of any fat and stark naked, with all his stuff hanging loose for everyone to see

Or bite off!

Plus, there were a lot of wo his discomfort, Sunny stared at the wolves, his black eyes full of s that were in no way inferior to that of the rowl escaped fro and scary I aht a scary demon like me, would you? One would have to be insane to attack such a hted forward,in their bloodshot eyes Their s The crowd roared

'damn it all!'

Sunny commanded the shadows to wrap themselves around his body, which suddenly turned black and lusterless, as though cut from obsidian Thankfully, at least that part of his Aspect still worked… alht quadrupled, and so did his speed

He dashed through the darkness and appeared fro forward to grab the beast, sharp claws sinking into the soft flesh Sunny was still struggling to control his body, and for that reason, his movements were much slower and messier than they could have been
