  1041 The Fall of Falcon Scott (59)
  
  Something broke the dark surface of the shadows and flew into the cold air, moving fast enough to look
  like a black blur. Before anyone could react, Kim was falling down... and so was Luster, who had pushed
  her aside at the last moment. There was blood in the air, a startled expression on his face... and
  something was very wrong with the way he. was falling...
  
  The black blur did not stop. A sharp blade instantly flashed toward Dorn, who had a startled expression
  on his face. The giant man only had enough time to slightly turn his torso — the blade missed his heart,
  slicing through armor and leaving a deep wound on his chest.
  
  The blade continued forward without pause, a split second away from piercing Belle's head. Instead, it
  simply passed through it... the swordsman could not possibly dodge, but he just barely managed to
  activate his Aspect Ability and phase through the strike.
  
  Leaving Samara utterly open.
  
  Everything happened too fast. Before Kim even hit the ground, the enemy's blade was already mere
  centimeters away from slashing across her throat.
  
  ...However, a jade sword suddenly appeared in its way, blocking the lightning—fast attack.
  
  'What the...'
  
  Sunny, who had thrown himself in the path of the enemy, was tossed back by the ferocious force of the
  impact. The attacker. whoever it was, was so strong that his hands grew slightly numb.
  
  He collapsed on the scorched road and rolled, instantly jumping back to his feet.
  
  Kim landed on the ground. Luster did, too... both of his legs were cleanly severed at the knee, and blood
  was pouring out of terrible wounds.
  
  Sunny's eyes widened.
  
  But he had no time to think about it. The members of the cohort were too slow to defend themselves,
  and the ambush was not yet over. The creature — a dark silhouette moving with dire speed — had been
  thrown back, as well. Sunny only had enough time to notice a humanoid shape clad in black armor, and
  instantly lunged forward.
  
  lie had regained his balance a split second faster than the attacker, so the bastard had no way to avoid
  being pierced by the Sin of Solace.
  
  ...And yet, that was exactly what happened.
  
  Before the jade sword could strike the creature down, it simply dissipated into the shadows.
  
  'What?'
  
  Sunny was stupefied for a short moment.
  
  'It's... it's Shadow Step.'
  
  Which meant...
  
  He spun, but was a moment too late. The creature was already behind him, the black blade falling from
  above.
  
  Sunny grit his teeth, then blocked the strike with his forearm. The Marble Shell turned as hard as
  stone... and split open, broken by the vicious strength of the blow. The blade only managed to deliver a
  relatively minor wound, though, most of its power spent to shatter the shell.
  
  Before Sunny could counterattack, the enemy had blinked out of existence once again.
  
  'Not good...'
  
  The creature appeared some distance away, aiming to finish off Kim. At that point, however, Saint was
  already there. The taciturn knight had leapt from Nightmare's back and flashed across the road,
  deflecting the black blade with her shield.
  
  inconceivably, the onyx shield actually cracked, and the Shadow staggered back.
  
  The creature did not waste any time and lunged toward Kim, but then...
  
  A black chain suddenly wrapped around its throat.
  
  A dozen meters away, Sunny grasped the shadow chain and jerked it back with all his strength.
  The enemy was thrown back, flying through the air and crashing on the road a few meters behind him.
  The creature slid back, then stopped, kneeling iii the middle of the road.
  
  It remained motionless for a moment, and then slowly stood up, glancing at Sunny with cold killing
  intent.
  
  Subjected to the hate—filled gaze, Sunny turned grim.
  
  The creature was about two meters tall, with plates of jet—black bone covering its body like a full suit of
  armor. Even its face was hidden behind black bone, which formed a menacing closed helmet. Two
  inhuman dark eyes burned with resentment and hatred through the cracks.
  
  The lower part of the helmet was split by a jagged line, and when it parted, a maw full of sharp fangs
  was revealed, opened in a mocking grin.
  
  Sunny, who was standing between the cohort and the abomination, grimaced and lowered his gaze a
  little.
  
  In one of its hand, the creature was holding a curved sword that seemed to have been crudely carved
  from a long black tusk, its edge terribly sharp and harder than steel.
  
  ...Just as he had thought, the abomination was missing two fingers on the other.
  
  Sunny sighed, lingered for a moment, and that said tiredly:
  
  "I had a feeling that you would show up."
  
  The scary stories about a murderous shadow that people in Falcon Scott had been telling each other
  turned out to be more than just stories, in the end.
  
  It seemed that the little Scavenger had grown once again.
  
  'Curse it...‘
  
  Of course, the wretched goblin would choose this exact moment to attack... why wouldn't he? Sunny
  was tired, beaten, and very low on essence. The First Army was in full retreat, and none of his allies
  could intervene on his behalf.
  
  If Sunny was planning an ambush. that would have been exactly how he'd do it.
  
  ...Well, not quite. He would not have failed to kill most of his tnarks during the first assault.
  
  Not letting the Scavenger out of his sight, Sunny briefly glanced at his soldiers.
  
  Luster seemed to be in shock, weakly trying to sit up. Kim was by his side, hastily applying a tourniquet.
  Belle, Samara, and Dorn were shielding them with their bodies, their faces grim and tense... the latter
  was bleeding from a deep wound on his chest.
  
  Saint and Nightmare were waiting for his command, ready to attack.
  
  'Bad, bad... this is very bad...'
  
  Sunny had already taken a glance at the Scavenger's soul, finding out that the damned waif had
  somehow managed to become a Corrupted Devil. The goblin... well, the bastard was more of an ogre
  now... must have devoured a lot of Nightmare Creatures to become that strong.
  
  He must have devoured a lot of people, as well, considering how disturbingly human-like the Scavenger
  now looked. There must have been a lot of bodies left in the ruins of Erebus Field... and more victims
  still here in Falcon Scott.
  
  Much worse, it seemed that swallowing a piece of Sunny's flesh allowed the creature to inherit some of
  his powers.
  
  Powers related to shadows.
  
  Dealing with an enemy like that would have been hard even if the cohort was in peak shape, but new...
  it was going to be a problem. Not a big problem, of course...
  
  However, one thing made the situation truly dire.
  
  The whole section of the. city around them — the road, the buildings, the. ruins — was about to be
  destroyed by a titanic explosion.

    1042 The Fall of Falcon Scott (60)
    
    For a few moments, no one moved. Sunny was considering how to deal with the Scavenger, while the
    Scavenger was probably considering how to deal with Sunny, now that the ambush had partially failed.
    
    ...Or maybe the damn thing was simply enjoying seeing him squirm. Who could tell what was happening
    in that abominable head?
    
    A hundred thoughts flew through Sunny's mind. No matter how he looked at it, the situation did not
    look good. He had no doubt that he and his two Shadows were more titan enough to kill the Scavenger...
    after all, plenty of Corrupted abominations had fallen by his hand. But would they be able to kill him
    fast enough?
    
    The wretched creature was strong, and extremely slippery. Fighting someone who could teleport all
    over the place was a real nightmare... belatedly, Sunny felt pity for all the poor bastards whom he had
    killed in the past. They must have all died full of frustration.
    
    'Serves them right...'
    
    Once Army Command set off the explosives below the city, Saint would probably be able to survive the
    conflagration, just like Bloodwave had said he would. Nightmare and Sunny had a chance to escape
    unscathed, too, if they managed to find a shadow deep enough to protect them.
    
    His soldiers, however, would not. They were not Saints, or even Ascended. Neither did they possess
    Aspects capable of saving them from the destruction. Not to mention that Luster was gravely injured
    and losing a lot of blood... as an Awakened, he would not bleed out immediately, but getting him to a
    medic, or better yet an actual healer, was an urgent priority.
    
    The problem was that Sunny was not confident in his ability to protect the cohort if they chose to
    retreat. Once again, an enemy who could step through shadows was simply too mobile and
    unpredictable... guarding a bunch of vulnerable targets from a Corrupted Devil who could appear at any
    moment, from any side, was a tall task.
    
    'Damn it! Not only did the bastard get a chunk of my flesh, he even became an utter menace
    because of it!'
    
    They could not remain and fight, and they could not retreat.
    
    Did the bastard actually know that everything around them was about to blow up? Or had he just been
    lucky to catch Sunny at the worst possible moment?
    
    If he had, that was some luck...
    
    The Scavenger tilted his head a little, as though challenging Sunny to come and get him. The tip of his
    curved saber lowered slightly, ready to lash out.
    
    Sunny glared at him for a moment, then cursed silently and threw an order over his shoulder, his tone
    calm and steady:
    
    "Kim... take Luster, climb onto my horse, and get the hell out of here. Get him help. The rest, retreat on
    foot. Saint will protect you."
    
    Luster, who had been staring at his missing legs with a confused expression, looked up at the sound of
    his voice and asked shakily:
    
    "Wha... what a—about you, Captain?"
    
    Sunny grinned.
    
    "I'll keep our friend here company. Don't worry... I did not survive Goliath and the Heart of Darkness to
    die to this little wretch today. Go!"
    
    Kim was already dragging the young man toward Nightmare, her face pale and full of desperate
    determination. The Scavenger spared them a glance, then stared back at Sunny.
    
    His mouth opened... and a hoarse, grating voice suddenly came out of it:
    
    "Die, today. Little... wretch."
    
    Then, an ugly, gasping sound assaulted Sunny's ears.
    
    The bastard was actually laughing.
    
    Sunny frowned. He couldn't care less if the abomination wished to mock hint, but nevertheless, his
    heart suddenly turned cold. Nightmare Creatures capable of speech were extremely rare... and all of
    them were extremely terrifying.
    
    He could attest to that fact himself.
    
    Sunny had already been uneasy, but now, his caution doubled. The Scavenger was dangerous. The little
    wretch had been abnormal from the very start. He was gaining power too fast, growing too explosively.
    Of course, Antarctica was a perfect place for a creature like that to gorge on the corpses of powerful
    monsters, but still...
    
    Sonny's intuition was telling him that. fighting the abomination alone would be a dire, dreadful mistake.
    But he had no better choice.
    
    He sighed with resignation.
    
    'I guess my luck is just complete, utter crap today.'
    
    Goliath, the Heart of Darkness, fighting his way back through the boundless Nightmare Creatures, and
    now this.
    
    Sunny was hurt, tired, and miserable.
    
    So much so, in fact, that he was getting a bit angry.
    
    'Fine... fine, let's do this, you rotten piece of trash...‘
    
    There was a perfectly fine Nightmare Creature here to vent his anger.
    
    Sunny had already failed to kill the Scavenger twice. Today, fate generously gave him a chance to finish
    the job, and he was not going to let it slip from his hands.
    
    The Scavenger was strangely unreasonable in his hate—fueled pursuit, following Sunny all the way from
    L049 across the hellscape of the Antarctic Center.
    
    Well, Sunny could be an unreasonable person himself.
    
    in fact, he was very tired of being reasonable all the time.
    
    ‘Enough is enough...‘
    
    A dark, slightly mad light ignited in his eyes.
    
    Behind him, Kim pushed Luster onto Nightmare's back, then jumped up herself. The black steed
    instantly shot forward, moving across the empty road with incredible speed. Belle, Dom, and Samara
    followed, protected by Saint.
    
    All that remained was Sunny, the Scavenger, and the shadows.
    
    ...And tons of explosives somewhere beneath their feet.
    
    The menacing black abomination moved, trying to dissipate into the shadows, but before it could, the
    shadows around it suddenly surged, shooting forward like sharp spikes.
    
    The spikes shattered against the creature's bone armor, but they did slow him down for a split second.
    And that was all that Sunny needed.
    
    Emerging from the darkness in front of the Scavenger, he kicked him in the chest. With a deafening
    boom, the creature was sent flying back, but managed to land on his feet. The black tusk whistled,
    tearing through the air, and collided against the white jade of the Sin of Solace.
    
    Sunny felt his hand tremble from the force of the blow, and smiled.
    
    'Good, good... don't you die too easily...‘
