Chapter 204: I Guess You Could Say He’s… [Title Card]
Sunny was really beyond himself. A good armor was exactly what he needed... and what could be better than a Transcendent one? Most of the enemies he fought would not even be able to scratch it, let alone pierce it!
His smile turned a little bitter when he remembered receiving the Puppeteer’s Shroud and imagining how he would be nearly invincible to all the Dormant creatures trying to attack him come winter solstice.
Who knew that all his opponents weren’t ever a Dormant bastard?! Always Awakened, or Fallen, or Corrupted...
Still, he would have died a hundred times if it hadn’t been for the Puppeteer’s Shroud. The Undying Chain was an undeniable improvement, so he had high hopes for it.
Moving his gaze lower, he read the armor’s description:
Memory Description: [In a beautiful tower at the end of the world, desire was bound by seven brilliant shackles. She was meant to be chained there forever, and so her shackles were made eternal. Yet in the end, desire was unleashed upon the world. Her shackles were destroyed, and the will of the gods was broken.]
Sunny stared at the shimmering runes, wondering.
He knew that the Spell, for whatever reason, behaved strangely when speaking about Daemons. In fact, he had never seen or heard it use that term, as though the word itself was somehow forbidden. Sunny only learned it from the writings left behind in the Vessel of Remembrance.
The closest the Spell had ever come to mentioning the word Daemon was calling the Prince of the Underworld a prideful demon.
Yet, there was no doubt that the desire it spoke about here was a Daemon... the Daemon of Hope, who had been once chained in the Ivory Tower. Sunny had seen the place where she had been imprisoned himself, as well as the Seed of Nightmare growing from her broken shackles.
At first glance, the meaning of the description was rather obvious. Or at least it was to him, with how much he already knew.
