Chapter 652 Plentiful Gains

Sunny got comfortable on his crirapes from the tray placed on an intricate table near it, threw one in his mouth… and finally summoned the runes

'Let's see…'

The first thing he glanced at was the shadow frag what felt likethe black steed, who had been an Awakened Terror So, Sunny was hopeful to see a pleasant number…

However, when he did see it, he alrape juice to death

'What… what the Spell?! What?!'

He even rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was seeing things, but no The counter was the saments: [2823/3000]

Sunny stared at it in disbelief

'Six hundred… I received al that darape into his ers from the sheer disorientation of it all

'How is this even possible?!'

He thought about it for a bit, stunned, and then tilted his head a little

'Could it be…'

One of the advantages, but also inherent drawbacks of Sunny's Aspect was that it operated through shadow fragments instead of the usual soul ones So, while Sunny didn't need to collect and absorb shards to grow stronger, he also could not use the shards of creatures that he had not personally slain for that purpose

The other detail was that, unlike all human Awakened, he did not receive a portion of all the accu others of his own kind, and instead received just one or two, depending on their Rank

Was that, perhaps, because the Spell — or rather, the world itself — did not consider him a hunized him as one of their own So… would it be safe to say… that in this context, his own kind were actually not humans, but shadows instead?

The black steed had been a Shadow created by one of the Chain Lords An Awakened Terror possessing six cores, and with a thousand years of battles and bloodshed behind his shoulders to fill thehout his long and gri another human?

The math certainly supported that theory

Sunny's eyes ignited

'That… that is it!'

Not only was he correct… he ht have just stumbled on one of the most crucial secrets about his own Aspect, power, and future

Even since finding out that his Aspect allowed him to form and possess multiple cores, Sunny had been wary of the eventual toll hunting down enough Nightmare Creatures to create a new one would exert As a Sleeper, or even an Awakened, he was too small and vulnerable Any powerful abomination would have been able to snuff hilance

The higher he climbed on the path of Ascension, the less of such existences there would be, and thus, the higher his chances of survival were going to become However, that also meant that there would be fewer creatures he would be able to hunt down to collect shadow fragive him any at all

But… now that he knetrue shadow creatures… perhaps, there was still a way for hi a Master

In any case, his progress was already staggering First, the thousand fragments he had earned in the bloodsoaked arena of the Red Colosseuhtmare steed Neither of these feats had been easy… in fact, both rewards had cost hie both mental and physical… but the result almost made it seem as if it had all been worth it
