Chapter 1406 Undying

...Sunny waited for a moment, then slowly straightened and looked around. The Chain Breaker was laying on white sand, tilted awkwardly. Updated from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m

'Damnation!'

His trembling fist collided with the railing and splintered the enchanted wood. He didn't feel the pain. 'Curse it! Curse it all!'

"Sunny? Are you alright?"

Sunny lingered for a moment, took a labored breath, then looked himself over and slowly turned to Nephis.

His voice sounded hoarse: "...Yes. It seems that I am." In the end... he still lost to Undying Slaughter. The odds seemed to be in his favor. He successfully avoided having his shadows destroyed, summoned Saint and Fiend, and managed to wrestle the initiative from the ghostly claws of the mist wraith.

Suddenly, he felt a strange sense of incongruity. Mere seconds ago, Sunny had been fighting for his life, watching his Shadows die in fear and sorrow. He had watched Jet die, as well.

He had even died himself... again.

And yet, Nephis and Cassie were behaving as if nothing had happened. Well... it had not, for them. Sunny understood that, but he still couldn't help but feel ashamed, angry, and resentful.

He lingered for a few moments, and then forced out a smile. "...Yeah. I can still put up a fight, too."

He smiled widened slightly, growing both darker and more sincere. It was true. Sunny might have lost to Undying Slaughter again, but he acquired something extremely valuable from that loss. Looking around, he took in the sight of the swirling mist, white sand, and the black cliffs. 'So I'm back again...'

What he received was truly precious. It was the knowledge that his strange return to the past was not a one-time thing.

Which meant that he was not done fighting.
