Chapter 80: Flawless (Rewritten)
"Do you know what Svarog thinks makes the Overworld more dangerous than the Underworld?"
This was something that had been bothering Sunny. The bottom side of Belobog was already a dangerous place — one where Fallen Terrors roam around freely. Despite this, Svarog was under the belief that there were more vicious dangers in the Overworld — a place that is constantly defended by the Silvermane Guards.
Naturally, this brought a deep sense of unease within him. If whatever was up there was bad enough for the ancient robot to completely forbid passage between the two sides, then it was a necessity that Sunny learned what it was before making any rash moves. As a shadow, it wouldn’t be in his nature to act without a substantial grasp on the situation.
’Because I’m an assassin!’
...He might have very few moments in which he acted as one, but it was undoubtedly true!
Clara seemed a little bit distracted when he had asked her his question. She turned to him as the two of them walked through the snow, moving towards the Robot Settlement.
"...Mr. Svarog never told me. He said it was an important secret. Terrible things are happening on this world... Mr. Svarog thinks that the Overworld will end soon."
Sunny couldn’t stop his eyes from widening in alarm. Although he vaguely assumed that the Overworld would become dangerous, he wasn’t expecting it’s destruction to be imminent!
Clara continued in a somber tone:
"His plan is to keep the Underworlders away from the source of the disaster, so they can survive for longer..."
Sunny grimaced, realizing that things were even worse than they seemed.
