Chapter 629 Pursuit
Sunny's upper ar down, he fell on all fours and broke into a bestial gallop, flying forith incredible speed With each jurew closer and closer The links of the heavenly chain rattled and swayed wildly beneath him as the Black Tar fiend pursued
Sunny could have tried to find safety in the depth of the Sky Below, but his speed and maneuverability in the air would have been severely diminished If the abomination decided to expel another rain of tar-covered projectiles, he would be shredded, torn to pieces, and consu creature could follow him into the abyss
His best chance was to reach the seglide across it as a swift shadow, and escape to the next island
Behind hiering speed, hundreds of black tendrils shooting out of it every rew smaller and smaller, and smaller still

Had this pyre been meant to honor fallen heroes, or dispose of dead ene a single thought to these questions, he dove down fro another chain and escaping further south A few e, as well, landing at the heavenly teather with a deafening thud
