Chapter 749: Shadow Manifestation

For a while, Sunny silently experimented with his neer

Shadow Manifestation was an… interesting Ability, especially when combined with the evolved Shadow Control It was deceptively straightforward, but held so ure out all of its potential uses in a short span of time

The fundamental function of Shadow Manifestation was rather siible

But the devil hid in the details

Now that Sunny enjoyed authority over all shadows, and not only his own, he couldto his will However, that facet of his Aspect had its caveats

Not all shadoere the sa, and some were ancient Some were deep, and soed to inanis

Although Sunny enjoyed their respect and reverence, that did notto submit to him implicitly They simply chose to follow his commands due to his status as the Master of Shadows, as opposed to being forced to do it

That was not new to Sunny He had already noticed this pattern of behavior when inviting wild shadows to enter the Shadow Lantern Most did it of their own free will, but some obstinate ones refused his invitation

Now that the [Child of Shadows] Attribute had evolved, only the most ancient and deep of the wild shadows seemed reluctant to answer his call However, not all shadoere "wild" — that was a ter about those of them that were cast by inani and connected to a living soul, no amount of authority Sunny had could compel it to abandon or betray their source

So, Shadow Control only allowed him to manipulate wild shadows The deeper and older a shadoas, the more concentration it took to co distant shadows — now that Sunny became an Ascended Devil, the reach of his control extended to almost ten kilometers His shadow sense, however, did not usually extend quite that far

His human mind would have been overloaded if it did So while Sunny could potentially control shadows that were very far away, he si them

…Unless they were his own shadows, of course, or those he perceived through them

And then came the actual Shadow Manifestation

Unlike Shadow Control, manifestation required hi as he continued to sustain them with essence, and return to their natural state if he stopped

This was both a blessing and a curse For obvious reasons, Sunny would have preferred to keep his essence… however, there was an unexpected and incredible boon to this Ability

Due to the fact that the manifested shadoere suffused with his essence, they assumed its property In other words… all of them were akin to Memories of the Ascended Rank in terms of durability and resilience

In other words, if Sunny shaped a shadow into a blade and manifested it, the blade would be comparable to an Ascee it could do

But he was not only li weapons! Shadow Manifestation offered him an incredible measure of utility Since shadoere for he wanted He could create barriers, bridges, ropes, suits of arination and his reservoir of essence

hell, he could even create a saddle for Night came without a cost The more complex and condensed a shape was, thea si it with enough solidity to cut through an ene deep and ancient shadows also took a toll, although they were s heas their shape allowed it A sas not going to fly on its own, but a rab his enemies That was not a very efficient form of attack in most cases, however
