Chapter 28: Criminal Activities (Rewritten)
Sunny’s jaw almost crashed into the floor as he looked at the bounty in front of him. The wanted man’s face was concealed by a mask, so he couldn’t quite see his face. However, he knew that this was too much of a coincidence.
The final member of the Stellaron Hunters was a man named Mongrel.
Mongrel wore a beautiful onyx armor that radiates a sense of solemn, dark menace. His face was hidden behind a fearsome black mask, with three twisting horns rising from it like a jagged crown. His hair was stark white, and there are two pools of impenetrable darkness in the place where his eyes were supposed to be. His weapon of choice was a long, curved odachi forged of lusterless black steel, engraved with strange runes of darkness. It rested on his shoulder, seemingly devouring the bright light of the illusory sun.
Sunny stared at this image, feeling like everything was just getting even more confusing.
’...Damn, I look cool.’
At that strange thought, Sunny refocused on this strange revelation:
Mongrel — considering certain similarities — was Sunny, the treacherous Lost From Light.
The mask that Mongrel was wearing was his only Divine Memory, Weaver’s Mask. Although he hadn’t summoned it yet, he remembered what it looked like. It had the ability to hide his identity from even the most powerful of divination abilities, reverses his Flaw so that he could only lie, and another mysterious, unknown ability that he didn’t have the guts to test out.
The armor that Mongrel wore was Sunny’s Mantle of the Underworld. He had recently used it a couple of times, and it was currently repairing itself in his soul sea. Fortunately, the only two people he had used it in front of was Sparkle, who must have already known about it, and Seele, who seemed to be quite ignorant about Awakened matters.
Thinking about the girl with a split personality, Sunny had the urge to punch himself in the gut. That stupid request that he had made was bound to be the death of him, and he hadn’t even tried to clear up the misunderstanding.
Sunny had no idea what he was thinking, since he could have made any number of outrageous requests.
