Cassie rubbed her temples in disbelief before asking
"So, THE Broken Sword is in your Soul Sea?"
Sunny nodded
Nephis took a seat on a chair she found nearby and gave Cassie a chair as well, which she gladly sat down to process the information
Sunny was about to ask, but Cassie stopped him
"I know about this because I heard a few people talking, which I deduced was you and Nephis in the Underworld"
Sunny was surprised before remembering the cohort explaining Cassie's Awakened ability
Sunny then asked
"I heard that you met a sorcerer in your Second Nightmare, could you perhaps teach me?"
Cassie stayed silent with a thoughtful expression on her face. She then said
"I'm not that good at sorcery, and he only taught me Runic sorcery, but he did tell me that any type of sorcery requires a name to be powerful" Cassie shrugged
Sunny thought for a moment before having a breakthrough. He made some grabbed a random chair that looked cool and made some shadow strings
Cassie seemed confused before Nephis told her to just ignore it. Nephis stared at Sunny completely focused face with a faint smile at him working so diligently
Soon, Sunny was done weaving a Memory out of the chair. He smiled while panting slightly
"It worked.." the excitement on his voice could be heard
Nephis and Cassie seemed confused but didn't ask. Soon, the ship finally landed on the island with a bit of a crash since Cassie hasn't fully repaired the ship, just a few minor enchantments
Sunny teleported outside and walked to the entrance of the towering obsidian tower. He waited for Nephis and Cassie to catch up before walking in
Cassie took the to the second floor and pointed at a terrifying plant thing with a arm in the middle
Sunny and Nephis was appalled at the sight, but Cassie's voice broke through them
"I need Neph to burn through the Corruption" Cassie turned to look at Nephis
Nephis nodded and used her Aspect to burn through the Corruption quite quickly. And all that was left was a crumbling arm
Sunny approached with caution, and saw the arm crumble away until it was a finger. Confused, he touched it and the Spell resounded in his ear
[Your have received a new Memory]
'Huh?' Sunny was confused before summoning the Memory
Another [Drop of Ichor] was in his hands. Sunny groaned at needing to feel the pain of consuming a lineage Memory again
Breath calmly, he accepted the offer of eating it
And the familiar pain came through, this time however, it was his bones that was transforming
Sunny screamed before falling to his knees, writhing around in pain while Nephis held him in her arms
A couple of Twilight Keepers heard the noise and witnessed the scene of Sunny writhing around in Nephis arms
After the feeling of pain receded, Sunny groaned and sat up with beads of sweat rolling down his face
".... As unpleasant as ever" Sunny wiped the sweat off his face while summoning [Endless Spring] to drink
After finishing drinking, he remembered something
'Oh right, I completed the third part of Aspect Legacy'
Sunny checked his runes and claimed his prize. Another [Drop of Ichor] was in his hands
Sunny stared at it before yelling
".... Oh, come on!" Sunny grumbled before choosing to consume it as well
The pain was also unbearable, but at least this time it was much faster
[Your attributes [Blood Weave], [Bone Weave], [Shadow Weave] has evolved!]
Sunny panted for a bit before saying
"... That is the top 3 worst pain I felt.... How is being gutted not even in the top 5? I should really stop doing stupid things like this" Sunny rubbed his forehead
Nephis finally let go of him as she gazed upon him to check for any wounds. She then noticed that everyone was looking at them
------ A couple of hours later
Sunny was fighting with 6 arms with a sword in one hand, a odachi in another, a spear in one, a jian in another, and a great sword in two hands. He was also currently 5 meters tall, with 6 horns. He also had [Mantle of the Underworld] to complete the number count
The Twilight Keepers were struggling, Gorn, Sid, Shim, and multiple other Twilight Keepers was barely able to keep it with Sunny
Sunny wasn't even trying too hard because he was only getting used to the new form he was in
Gorn swung his greatsword at Sunny's ankles, Sunny swatted the greatsword out of the way by using one of his two tails, the other grabbed Shim's sword and threw it away
Sunny roared which made everyone freeze, using the moment, Sunny used the greatsword in his hand to hit Shim on his left side with the flat side of the greatsword
He used his twin tails to intangle one of the Twilight Keepers to throw them to another Twilight Keepers. Sunny used the spear in his hand to hit two Twilight Keepers at once with a quick swipe
Now only Sid was left standing
When she noticed she was the last one, she dropped her weapon and threw her hands up in the air and yelled
"I give up!" there was no shame in her voice
Sunny stared at her which made her shiver before dismissing [Remnants of Shadow] to go back to his human form, and he also let two of his shadows to unwrap around him
Sunny summoned [Endless Spring] and drank a lot of water from it. Sid walked up with a easy going smile and asked
"Can I have a sip?" she pointed at the bottle with her head
Sunny shrugged and gave her it. She took multiple sips before walking off the pour water in each of the fallen Twilight Keepers mouth
After she was done drowning each of them, she threw the bottle back at Sunny, which he caught without looking
Sunny then summoned Saint out of his shadow. She stepped out of his shadow with her obsidian armor
Sunny had been studying Saint's build because he wondered if he could use Shadow Manipulation to make a shell out of shadows to recreate his form during the Second Nightmare
So far, he has been able to do it, but a crude version. So he kept trying, he opened the gates of [Shadow Lantern] to grab a couple of shadows to reform his shell
He made a copy of the imperfected Stone Saint as best as he could. Then shaped it until it was similar to Saint's form
Since it was imperfect, he decided to take a few pieces of Saint's build to perfect his own. He kept forming and breaking down the shadows until Saint's eyes had pride in it, meaning that he did it
He threw his hands up in the air and yelled
"Finally!" he grinned while taking a few swings at the air to test the new form out
He then sensed someone walking towards him. He turned around to see Nephis walking towards him with a sword in her hands
She stayed silent for a bit before asking
"May you indulge me in a friendly spar?"
Sunny grinned and nodded
"Can I use this form?" Sunny pointed at himself
Nephis nodded
"That was what I was planning as well, also, no Aspect" Nephis got in a offensive stance
'A offensive stance? Huh' Sunny grinned
He got into a defensive stance, while having a odachi in in his hands
They did not move for awhile until the grass beneath their feet exploded at the dash against each other
Nephis went on the defensive while Sunny went on the offensive, totally betraying the stance they were in
Sunny's odachi was locked with Nephis sword, both of them jumped back. They evaluated what happened for a second before dashing back at each other
The sounds of steel clashing against each other could be heard every second as Sunny and Nephis was sparring with little care to their surroundings
Nephis and Sunny was having fun in the battle, not knowing the destruction they were causing to the ground
Nephis did a sideway slash, Sunny was able to jump back but no without a small scratch on his chest. Since he took a few things from Saint's build, he also was forced to add a bit of size to his chest, which made him look like a female
They continued their spar until they were satisfied with the result, which was a stalemate
Sunny threw [Endless Spring] towards Nephis which she caught and took a few sips before giving it back to Sunny
Sunny put the bottle to his lips before realising he was still in his Stone Saint shell, he dismissed the shadows and dismissed [Mantle of the Underworld] to finally drink his well-deserved drink
