Chapter 1461 Encore

Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

Pursued by an army of dead giants, Sunny and Nightmare flew through the mist. The shambling corpses were tearing through the forest like an avalanche, uprooting countless ancient pines and turning them into splinters. The thunderous clamor of it all spread far and wide, making it seem as if the entire island was falling apart. If that would not attract the attention of the Nightmare Creature hiding in the fog, Sunny did not know what would. 'Almost there...'

He was not just running blindly. Instead, Sunny was leading his skeletal followers along the southern edge of the island, aiming to pull them to Undying Slaughter's hunting grounds, or even further west. The map of the island was shimmering in his mind, with various Nightmare Creatures moving across it according to where they were supposed to be at the moment. It would be good to attract as many abominations as possible — the chain reaction of them abandoning the usual routes and habits was going to clear the northern part of the island, where all of the cohort's goals were, to a large degree. But Sunny was going to be happy as long as the harrowing mist wraith got implicated by the appearance of the undead stampede.

These ancient skeletons he had risen were not truly alive, and thus possessed neither souls nor soul essence. They were the worst possible enemy Undying Slaughter could meet, considering that she would not be able to replenish whatever essence she spent to destroy the murderous corpses. ...It was a bit ironic, really. 'Above us!'

'I'd say... it's a success.'

By the time the abandoned port of Aletheia's Island appeared from the mist, Sunny was only followed by a few most persistent corpses. The rest had been left in the dust, fighting the various horrors of this cursed place. Throwing one last glance at the murderous dead giants, Sunny smiled and dissolved into the shadows. His job here was done. Now, he had to rush to the other side of the island to find Effie. 'Really, now...'

Gliding through the darkness, Sunny sighed. 'Was there a need for such a reaction? Surely, my musical talent is not that terrible...'
