Chapter 45: Side Story: A New Toy (Rewritten)
Sometime, somewhere...
Sunny stared at the cane that he had sto—found in the Astral Express. Welt always brought it along with him wherever he went, so Sunny had gotten quite curious about it.
Later, he walked around the frozen wilderness of Belobog. A few Fragmentum monsters lurked through the snow, giving Sunny an opportunity to test out his new toy.
...The issue was that he had no idea how to use it. It wasn’t a Memory, but it still seemed to radiate some sort of power.
’...Does Welt just swing this thing around?’
Holding the cane with both hands, Sunny immediately swung at the closest Shadewalker. The cane bashed into it’s skull, a sharp noise cracking across the area.
[You have defeated an Awakened Monster, Everwinter Shadewalker.]
[Your shadow grows stronger.]
As it’s mangled body fell, Sunny gave the cane a satisfied expression. It seemed like he was wielding a weapon of brute force! He watched as the other Fragmentum monsters ran off in fear of the cane.
He blinked as he felt his phone start to vibrate. Fishing it out of his pockets, he answered the call before putting it on speaker.
"Hello?"
