Chapter 191: Triumphant Return
Corpses.
The world was scarred with them. Countless abominations of man and beast covered the snow, staining it with their vile blood. Limbs were displaced, guts and bone scattered... and yet, there was one body that was still whole.
Sunny laid in the snow with his arms spread out, panting underneath the fearsome mask he wore. Saint had returned to his Soul Sea after the gruesome massacre, healing the minor amounts of damage on her armor.
After killing the Tyrant, the battle only became easier. Not only did the horde of Nightmare Creatures lose their coordination, but the amount that spilled out of the Gate lessened drastically. Now, besides Sunny, there was no living creature in the vicinity.
...But that did not mean that no Nightmare Creatures would exit the Gate. It simply meant that the hordes were wiped out. The tear in space still remained.
The Nightmare Gate will eventually close, but until then, a team of Awakened will need to quarantine the area to prevent rogue Nightmare Creatures from escaping and reaching the nearest human settlement.
Shadow Fragments: [1849/3000].
’Huh... not bad.’
Almost two hundred Shadow Fragments...
Groaning as he sat up in the snow, Sunny looked down at himself. The Mantle of the Underworld was littered with dents and scratch marks, and after dismissing it and rolling up his shirt, he found numerous bruises. It was no wonder he was aching so much.
His armor may protect him from directly taking hits, but an impact is still an impact.
