Chapter 205: Made Eternal
Blood Weave was slowly devouring the toxin, but Sunny still felt weak and feverish. Dismissing Saint, he walked around the cargo hold, getting used to the feel of the Undying Chain and looking around to see if there was something interesting laying around.
Like another chest full of Noctis coins, for example.
Sadly, he didn’t find anything. Even if the cargo hold had once stored ancient curios and treasures, everything was destroyed by the vines and the brown moss over thousands of years.
However, he was pleasantly surprised to realize that the lusterless steel armor was not constricting his movements at all. It was really like a second layer of skin... perhaps if Sunny wasn’t augmented by the shadow, the Undying Chain would have been cumbersome. But he was, and on top of that, there were almost two thousand shadow fragments stored in his three Cores.
Even if an Awakened wasn’t supposed to be able to wear the Transcendent armor effortlessly, Sunny had no such problem.
’Sweet...’
Finally, he limped over to the pile of dust that remained of Solvane and knelt beside it, then reached inside the ashes and retrieved the wooden knife.
Of course, Sunny had not forgotten about it.
To his disappointment, though, what he was holding in his hand was just the handle. The blade had splintered and broken off, and the wood seemed lifeless and dead.
It was already starting to rot, and even when Sunny looked beneath the surface of the strange knife, he didn’t see anything... no spellweave, no brilliant radiance of a sea of soul essence, and no String of Fate folding endlessly on itself in a perfect circle.
The wooden knife was truly and utterly broken.
