Chapter 706 Ulti at the colossus, Sunny understood why Kai had called hi Sun Prince stood at nearly ninetyabove the island like a mountain of steel He was cast in the shape of a noble warrior wearing light arly in the sun, while the rest of the giant was dull and grey

The colossal statues of the seven heroes of the Forgotten Shore, including the walking one Sunny and the cohort had ridden once, were et shocked by the sheerpresence of the Transcendent Chain Lord… or rather, of the steel shell he was entorasped Sunny's heart, which he then strangled and banished, looking at the towering Lord with a grim expression

He had a reason to feel fear, however

A half-forgotten ihtmare where he stood petrified on a blood-soaked battlefield, watching in horror as a giant steel sole descended from above to turn him, and his fellow soldiers, into puddles of crushed bones and bloody sludge

And another, atorture that he had endured at the hands of his brother, of a hue and a pit filled with molten metal

And finally, the last one — the vision of a giant steel corpse swinging forlornly in torn chains, upside down, its chest shattered by so strike

Sunny had never h they were old acquaintances For better or worse

As the giant stared at the flying shi+p with a motionless face of a statue, Sunny turned to Noctis and scowled

Sunny turned back and looked at Sun Prince for a bit, then said somberly:

"Do you think he knows that it was you who erased hishim to experience a hundred years of torture, and then end up in this state? And that you actually stole it instead?"

Noctis suddenly choked, causing the shi+p to careen sideways, and hissed:

"Say it louder, will you!"

Sunny froze

"Oh… sorry…"

The sorcerer righter the vessel, then said with outrage:

"First of all, I did not cause anything! I just granted a… a colleague's request Back then, we did not even know that Hope was driving us all mad, so hoas I supposed to knoill happen? Secondly… I did not steal the Ivory Knife… I just happened to find it where he had left it, alright? By pure coinscidence And lastly…"

He paused, and then added in a darker tone:

"I a, anymore He is still alive, somewhere inside, but I don't think he is fully… sentient At least… at least I hope that he is not…"

The shi+p approached the ground in so of pillars, and hovered in place Noctis lingered for a few o of the oars However, he did not command the Sailor Dolls to lower the sails
