Chapter 15: Silvermane Gaurds (Rewritten)
’...The snow is getting worse.’
Indeed, the torrent of snow falling from the sky was starting to becoming a raging blizzard. Luckily, Dan Heng, March, and Sunny himself were resistant to the cold thanks to the Trailblaze. However, it would severely reduce their visibility.
Thankfully, Sunny didn’t need his eyes to see. He tapped into his shadow sense, which was only slightly disrupted by the snowstorm. Although the shadows shifted due to the snow, he was still able to differentiate objects.
Sunny wondered how Sampo was able to resist the cold. Earlier, he was able to see the weave of his clothing, which showed that he had an enchantment that dampened his presence by a single Rank. Sunny wasn’t quite sure how he knew this, since he couldn’t immediately understand what a weave did.
His best guess was that he must have seen something similar beforehand, and was able to deduce that based on the intricate structure of the weave. Sampo might have been wearing a Memory that helped him resist the cold, and Sunny wouldn’t be able to tell.
As the trio followed the suspicious man known as Sampo, Sunny sensed a shift in his shadow sense. A small amount of living shadows were heading in their direction. He could take a guess about the identity of these shadows, but he didn’t make any hasty decisions.
Meanwhile, Sampo was trying to lecture them on the best way to evade captivity.
’This guy is seriously a joke.’
"...Rule number seven: Never leave a footprint. I have my own special technique called ’invisible snow-walking’. Helps me throw off pursuers in no...time..."
Sunny resisted the temptation to sigh. Sampo had an expression of dismay plastered on his face at the sight of those figures. These figures were slightly covered by the snowstorm, but not to a degree in which they couldn’t be seen. Of course, it did make their visibility slightly worse.
The approaching group was a team of soldiers that wore silver and blue armor. There armor completely covered their bodies, symbolizing a sense of mindless unity. A few of them carried halberds, while the others held rifles.
