Sunny was now looking at three nightmare creatures that are probably two awakened terror's and one awakened titan so right now isn't the best situation for sunny and the soldier, and two other slaves.
Sunny knowing they are blind didn't move or speak and letting [The Shadow] attribute adapt his body from lack of oxygen so currently it's a waiting game.
Soon enough the creature's started moving where the other were and it was already too late they immediately died except for the soldier who we are going to call 'Hero' he was fast enough to react and he quickly ran towards the fire when the cold was becoming unbearable he looked at sunny noticing how still he was and hero realized that those creatures were blind and couldn't see relying only on their super hearing.
He sat on the ground near the large fire which the six blind creatures avoided they most likely are only picking up on sounds that are more associated with humans.
Sunny on the other hand was completely invisible inside the shadows when he was fully submerged within them sunny could finally make sounds because [The Shadow] attribute gave sunny another advantage, like when will they end?
'Hmm i think i understand what [The Shadow] attribute does it enhances my five basic senses sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste and it also enhances sunnys strength, speed, agility, durability, endurance, stamina and regeneration when inside shadows and it also adapts my body and the newest addition inside shadows my presence is completely hidden this Attribute might as well be a aspect at this point.'
Sunny chuckled to himself but quickly realized he still has those six nightmare creatures to deal with.
'Why is my life so terrible i didn't do anything to dese- ... Nevermind'
Sunny walked around the place peeking at where Hero was at seeing if the bastard was still alive sunny wanted to skin him alive because how dare he call me a CHILD he must have been courting death.
Sunny roamed around picking up the he deemed important more specifically Sunny was looking for dead soldiers with flagons half empty or full which was rare he already had a lot lf them weighing him down just slightly. Calmly walking around in the cold, he finally stumbled on the last broken body clad in leather armor.
The old veteran — the one who had whipped him for trying to accept Hero's flask — was badly injured and dying, but, miraculously, still clinging to life. Horrible wounds were covering his chest and stomach, and he was clearly in a lot of pain.
His time was running out.
Sunny knelt beside the dying soldier and looked him over, searching for the man's flagon.
'What irony, didn't i vow to kill you huh must have forgotten' he thought.
The older man tried to focus his eyes on Sunny and weakly moved his hand, reaching for something. Sunny looked down and noticed a shattered sword lying on the ground not far from them. Curious, he picked it up.
"Are you looking for this? Why? Are you guys like Vikings, longing to die with a weapon in your hands?"
The dying soldier didn't answer, watching the young slave with some unknown, intense emotion in his eyes.
Sunny sighed.
"Well, it might as well do. After all, I promised to watch you die."
With that, he leaned forward and slit the old man's throat with the sharp edge of his broken blade, then threw it away. The soldier twitched, drowning in his own blood. The expression in his eyes changed — was it gratitude? Or hatred? Sunny did not know.
This was actually sunnys first time killing a old man well and a illusion by a spell that might as well be god so sunny was pretty happy with his kill i mean it was technically considered kill stealing but who gives a fuck.
He sat next to the old soldier.
After a while, the Spell's voice came whispering into his ear:
[You have slain a dormant human, name unknown.]
Sunny flinched.
'Oh, right. Killing people is also an achievement, as far as the Spell is concerned. They don't usually show this in webtoons and dramas.'
He registered that fact and put it away. But, as it turned out, the Spell wasn't done speaking.
[You have received a Memory…]
Sunny froze, opening his eyes wide.
'Yes! Come on, give me something good!'
Memories could be anything, from weapons to enchanted items. One received from a dormant-rank enemy wouldn't be too powerful, but it was still a boon: weightless and undetectable, able to be summoned from nothingness with a simple thought, a Memory was incredibly useful. What's more, unlike corporeal things, he would be able to bring it back with him to the real world. The advantage of having something like that back in the outskirts was hard to overestimate.
'A weapon! Give me a sword!'
[... received a Memory: Whistle of death.]
Sunnys eyes glinted with curiosity, excitement rushed through him
'Well, well, well look at that the name already sounds good.'
this thing was worth investigating. Maybe it had a powerful enchantment, like being able to send out destructive sonic waves or repelling incoming projectiles.
Sunny summoned the runes and concentrated on the words "Whistle of death". Immediately, an image of a small bell appeared in front of his eyes, with a short string of text below.
[A whistle made by ancient warriors announcing war and death, once an enemy hears it's dreadful sound they would panic afraid that they will be the next to perish. It's sound echoes for miles repeating over and over again.]
'Ohhh i like this very, very much spell.'
Sunny thought, excitedly.
His first Memory turned out to be pretty much good… like everything else he possessed well mostly [The Shadow] and [Child of Madness] those were the only good one's he had. He was almost starting to see a theme in how the Spell was treating him in one moment everything is shit the next all good.
Sunny dismissed the runes and then got busy removing the dead man's fur cloak and warm, sturdy leather boots. As an officer, the quality of these clothes was a notch above those of the simple soldiers. After putting them on, the young slave finally felt warm for the first time since the Nightmare began — not considering the [The Shadow] attribute heating his body.
'Perfect,' he thought.
The cloak was a bit bloodied, but then again, so was Sunny.
He looked around, easily piercing the veil of darkness with his tenebrous eyes. Hero was sitting very still trying to be as quiet as possible, sunny leasurely walked over to the bonfire navigating careful not to alert the mountain guys he already has a good idea on the other three that just appeared the largest one was the mountain overlord and then the other two were the mountain King and Queen while walking he saw the two crushed bodies of scholar and shifty.
'They were good slaves best of the best... That didn't sound right it sounded way better in my mind.'
Sunny sat next to hero he was staring at sunnys clothes not out of envy his face was basically saying "You stole from a dead man after killing him, Grave robber." which was normal i mean who knows anyone that steals from dead people that's really rude disrespecting the dead but sunny couldn't care less.
Soon enough the six nightmare creatures fell asleep which was weird.
'guess they were really tired after killing personally i would have kept one eye open but that's just me you know.'
Sunny looked at heroes sword.
"Give me your sword soldier boy."
Hero looked suspiciously before speaking well it was more of a whisper.
"How did you kill those three?"
Sunny retorted with obvious sarcasm.
"I got possessed by the shadow god and he helped me kill the three creatures."
Hero handed him his sword clearly having bought sunnys sarcastic statement.
'guess they haven't figured out sarcasm yet, huh sad,' sunny thought, disappointed for their lack of humor.
Sunny took the sword and walked over to the sleeping six sunny knew that he had to make it quick and sunny knew he couldn't possibly dream of killing an awakened terror or titan using this weak sword so it was pretty obvious he had to kill the three tyrant's.
Sunny stabbed each one of them in their forehead pushing as hard and deep as sunny could possibly do without waking the others up soon he killed the first tyrant.
[You have slain a awakened tyrant, Mountain prince.]
The second was trickier because it was laying sideways but with a good silent jump sunny thrusted into the creature's head cleanly thrusting through this was definitely better than using his hands that were being destroyed each time he punched.
And lastly the third it was covering it's head but it wasn't covering it's heart and because their chest were more durable sunny was forced to discard the sword and was forced to use his hands so he plunged his hands into the creature's chest ripping out the tyrants heart waking it up but it was already too late sunny already squashed it's heart killing it instantly.
***
They spent the rest of the night seating with their backs against the bonfire, staring fearfully into the night. Despite the exhaustion, hero was awake while sunny was peacefully asleep. The possibility of the other three nightmare creatures waking up seeing well not really maybe hearing and smelling their childs death well probably not the mountain overlords childs just the king and queens but that was still terrifying two terror's hunting you down was too much for hero.
Only Sunny seemed to be fine, calmly sleeping on the floor while hero was looking at the three other sleeping creatures whilst sharpening his sword.
The sound of the whetstone scraping against the blade was somehow comforting for hero.
At the break of dawn, when the sun had lazily begun to warm up the air, they loaded themselves with all the supplies they'd managed to gather and set out into the cold.
Sunny looked back, taking in the sight of the stone platform for the last time. He had managed to get past the place where the slave caravan was supposed to perish. What was going to happen next? No one could tell.
