Sunny sighed, then dis deep within his soul, growing stronger and stronger with each breath

Effie and Kai looked at hi in their eyes Cassie silently retrieved the Quiet Dancer and turned away, listening to the dark forest that surrounded theirl asked:

"So, uh… what exactly happens now?"

Sunny gave her a grim look

"Noill screa a new core is probably the third worst pain I have ever experienced… and that was just the Demon core damnation"

Effie blinked a couple of times:

"What are the second and the absolute worst, then?"

He hesitated for a bit, and then said hoarsely:

"Attaining a dae, by far… was catching a glimpse of fate That one I only survived by accident"

The gloo their past Sunny, ht did not even make the list, huh… maybe I need to rethinkwithin his soul reached a critical point, and the Spell whispered into his ear:

[Your shadow is taking shape…]

A blinding pain exploded in his chest, sending Sunny to his knees He gritted his teeth and re to let out a shriek, a wail, or even a growl This was not his first tih, this time, it was far more intense

A human soul was not meant to contain many cores…

The pain grew stronger, and stronger, and then stronger still Just like before, he felt as though his soul was being torn apart, so with its sharp edges However, Sunny was used to this torment He accepted it, allowed himself to dissipate into it, and endured

The voice of the Spell resounded fro between the ancient trees:

[Your shadow is complete]

And a few moments later, he heard another voice, this one soft and childish:

"Goddaer now!"

Sunny slowly stood up, intending to take a look at his runes However, even before that, he noticed that soround… was considerably further down than it had been before

'Huh?'

Effie and Kai were staring at hi out for a potential attack Luckily, Cassie was still vigilant… Sunny frowned, then glanced down to take a look at his own body, as well

And his eyes, which had been entirely black previously, now seemed like two pools of eerie darkness

The shadowspawn had been fearso Even Sunny hi fiend on a ht

Effie shook his head, then looked away
