  Thanks a lot for the chapters
  1043 the fall of falcon scott (61)
  
  on the doomed streets of a snow-covered city, surrounded by ruins of collapsed buildings and
  remnants of devastating battles, a young man with alabaster skin and onyx hair was fighting a wraith made of darkness and hatred. one wore a simple tunic of beautiful black silk, the other was clad in menacing black armor. both moved through the ruins like a pair of swift shadows.
  
  ‘damn it... break!‘
  
  sunny shuddered as he deflected a vicious strike of the mysterious black tusk, felt the impact send a painful jolt through his entire body, and guided the enemy‘s blade to the side. at the same time, he took a step forward and slammed his elbow into the scavenger's chest.
  
  the creature was pushed back, releasing the sin of solace [ruin the bind. the cursed sword instantly flashed forward, slashing across the abomination's side... the defense, counterattack, and follow—up had been executed flawlessly, flowing into each other like the nimble steps of a graceful dance. despite being light and swift, they also carried tremendous power and annihilating intent.
  
  and yet, the white jade slid fruitlessly off the black bone armor, barely leaving a scratch on it.
  
  'what the hell are you made of, bastard?!‘
  
  the scavenger... was just too damn overbearing.
  
  at times, fighting him was fighting like water — when the sin of solace lashed out at the cracks in the bone armor, the scavenger would turn into a shadow, allowing the jade blade to harmlessly pass through. other times, fighting him was like fighting against an indestructible mountain — the plates of black bone seemed utterly impervious, and the creature's blows carried with them crushing weight.
  
  even compared to the corrupted creatures sunny had faced, the scavenger was abnormally powerful. lie was so strong that it did not even make sense... the sin of solace had come from the remnant of the jade queen, an astonishingly dreadful corrupted tyrant, and had an enchantment that bestowed it with unparalleled sharpness as well. what kind of indestructible creature had the vengeful goblin devoured to be able to resist its edge?!
  
  it seemed as though there were peerless geniuses even among the nightmare creatures... and the pathetic, tiny imp sunny had failed to kill many months ago just so happened to be one of those.
  
  'just my luck...‘
  
  gritting his teeth, sunny braced himself and received another blow of the black tusk. another bloodless wound appeared on his body h none of them were deep enough to be dangerous, but the damage was slowly mounting.
  
  worst of all, he was completely suppressed.
  
  there were countless ways for sunny to kill the hateful fiend. for example, if the sharpness of the sin of solace itself was not enough, he could augment the power of the jade blade manifold with his shadows. he could manifest wild shadows, as well, forming chains, swords, or tentacles to attack and entangle the scavenger. he could use shadow 8th to keep up with the damned ogre...
  
  but he was prevented from doing any of these things.
  
  sunny could not afford to augment his sword, because he needed the shadows to match the corrupted devil's speed and strength — and even then, the scavenger was faster and stronger. he could not wantonly use shadow manifestation, because his reserves of essence were nearly empty. the same went for shadow step, or any other trick he could come up with on the spot.
  
  the bastard had known just when to attack. he had only shown himself when sunny was at his weakest, and now, sunny was forced to defend himself against a nightmare creature of a superior rank while being robbed of most of his powers. even those that remained were countered, because the scavenger possessed the same ones.
  
  sunny could not really blame the abomination for setting such a wicked trap, though, because it had been precisely how he himself had slayed many powerful adversaries.
  
  'doesn't matter... i'll still kill you... you‘re going to die no matter what…’
  
  sunny's eye burned with cold fury as he released the hilt of the sin of solace, switching to a one—hand grip. the great jian was the same length as a longsword would have been, but incredibly light and swift. although it could not back and slash with the same ferocious power as the scavenger's black blade, it was far more nimble and versatile.
  
  sunny seamlessly switched to a more agile and reserved battle style, summoning the cruel sight into his free hand in the form of a shortsword. the silver sword's [ghost blade] enchantment allowed it to strike down incorporeal targets... and so, the scavenger was in for an unpleasant surprise the next time he chose to turn into a shadow.
  
  if there was one advantage sunny had, it was his skill and experience. the scavenger was tremendously powerful, cunning, and possessed a truly vicious, murderous will... he had devoured a great number of mighty creatures, and grown with explosive speed. the bastard was supremely devious and surprisingly
  intelligent, enough to survive and even thrive in the hellish meat grinder of the chain of nightmares.
  
  but he was still an abomination, and a young one at that. his attacks were smart and powerful, but also clumsy and crude — just like the makeshift saber he was using, which had obviously been fashioned from some dreadful monstrosity's tusk. for now, the scavenger was able to suppress sunny simply because of his timing and vastly superior physical might. but he was not nearly as experienced of a killer...
  
  as for spite and viciousness, both had them in spades.
  
  'die!’
  
  as soon as the cruel sight manifested itself, sunny blocked the black tusk with the jade sword and then struck with the silver one, aiming at the elbow of the abomination's right arm — no matter how tough an armor was, it had to be weaker at the joints to allow for enough flexibility. and indeed, there was a gap between two bone plates there.
  
  in truth, sunny was not sure if the cruel sight could cut even the weaker parts of the scavenger. however, the creature did not know that...
  
  inst as expected, the vicious fiend chose not to risk it. the shadow powers he possessed were, strangely, both superior and inferior to sunny's — as of yet, the abomination had only shown the ability to use a form of shadow step.
  
  that ability, however, was more insidious than the original, allowing the creature to not only teleport and turn incorporeal, but even selectively turn only parts of himself into shadow.
  
  and so, the body of the scavenger remained perfectly material, continuing to pressure sunny with dreadful strength, while the middle of his right arm became ghostly and incorporeal.
  
  the cruel sight passed through the abomination's elbow without meeting any resistance, never even touching his flesh.
  
  however, the scavenger suddenly staggered and let out a pained hiss, causing a vicious grin to appear on sunny's face.
  
  the silver blade might not have cut the creature's flesh, but it did cut his shadow. which was the saute as cutting someone's soul...
  
  the damaged span of the fund's arm instantly turned back to flesh and bone. but the damage was already done. using the momentary lapse in the scavenger's awareness, sunny lunged forward and tangled with him, pushing them both to the ground.
  
  fighting a slippery shadow... was really a nightmare. he had far less essence to spare. giving the hateful
  fiend a vital advantage —- unlike sunny, the scavenger could use shadow step as much as he wanted,
  avoiding attacks and launching his own from unexpected directions. the abomination could even
  escape, if he wished.
  
  ...however, it would not be able to do anything if sunny was clutching it with his own two hands.
  
  as the two hit the ground, he growled and grasped the scavenger‘s throat, constricting it with enough
  force to shatter armored alloy. sunny's eyes were shining with dark, malicious joy.
  
  if he could not break the bastard's armor... he would just strangle him! most nightmare creatures still
  had to breathe, after all. even if the scavenger didn't, a broken neck was bound to solve something.
  
  it was strangely fitting, actually. sunny had killed his first abomination by strangling it with a chain.
  and now, he was going to squeeze the life out of this corrupted devil, tool
  
  …….
  
  1044 the fall of falcon scott (62)
  
  'die, die, die…’
  
  sunny kept trying to strangle the scavenger in a strange reversal of their previous encounter. his face
  was contorted into a bestial snarl, and his eyes were burning with indescribable bloodlust.
  
  the scavenger, however, was not easily killed. at first, he seemed to have panicked and tried to throw
  sunny off himself, but after realizing that getting rid of the small human was all but impossible, the
  abomination calmed down, stared at him with seething hatred, and tried to stab him in the back with
  the black tusk.
  
  the tip of the crude saber bit into the silk of the graceless dusk, and failed to pierce it.
  
  sunny laughed with savage joy.
  
  "try harder, bastard!"
  
  the scavenger obliged.
  
  dropping the tusk, he grabbed sunny by the collar... and, instead of trying to push him away, instead
  pulled him down. the two of them were suddenly face—to—face.
  
  'crap...‘
  
  the jagged line splitting the abomination's helmet opened, and countless sharp fangs instantly sank
  into sunny's cheek.
  
  "aaaaaargh!"
  
  realizing that he was moments from having his face bitten off, sunny let go of the fiend‘s neck and
  delivered a vicious punch into his solar plexus. then, he grabbed the creature's jaws, pushed them open
  by a few millimeters, and staggered back.
  
  the scavenger once again let out a hoarse, hateful laugh, his teeth painted by sunny‘s blood.
  
  sunny landed awkwardly on his backside and grabbed his check. the right side of his face was all torn,
  but at least he did not lose an eye. sadly, he already knew that the scavenger's teeth were poisoned...
  'you horrid wretch!‘
  
  grabbing the sin of solace, sunny lunged forward to strike down the fiend before he stood up. however,
  the creature simply turned into a shadow instead, trying to flee and then launch a surprise attack from a
  random direction.
  
  "not so fast!"
  
  without ever slowing down, sunny dove into the shadows, too.
  
  in the dark realm of shadows, the shapeless form that was the scavenger was swiftly flying away, and
  the shapeless form that sunny pursued. all of the abandoned area was shrouded in darkness, so they
  could travel as far as they wanted, unimpeded.
  
  the scavenger... as a shadow creature of the corrupted rank, here, he was vast and dreadful, much
  more so than sunny.
  
  and yet, sunny held an absolute advantage.
  
  he had fought as a shadow before, a couple of times, anti was all but helpless each time. but sunny had
  been a mere child of shadows then. now, he was their master.
  
  he had gained plenty of insight into shaping shadows thanks to shadow control, shadow
  manifestation... and especially his recent breakthrough, which he decided to name shadow shell.
  
  and since he was currently a shadow, too...
  
  closing in on the fleeing scavenger, sunny willed his shapeless body to change. instantly, it came to
  possess four long, powerful arms. then, sharp claws grew out of his fingers.
  
  knowing that he didn't have a lot of essence left, anti thus wouldn't be able to remain a shadow for
  long, sunny did not waste any time and tore into the formless abomination. instantly, it was as though
  a soundless wail of pain spread through the dark space.
  
  the scavenger seemed both surprised and aggrieved by the fact that sunny was able to hurt him in this
  realm, which he must have considered absolutely safe before. frightened, he tried to fight back,
  launching powerful but awkward attacks of his own.
  
  a familiar, sickening pain of having his soul damaged permeated sunny's senses. he had sustained
  some damage, too... but not nearly as much as the damned goblin. partially because the creature's blows
  were rudimentary and crude, and partially because his soul was protected by the marble shell.
  
  the scavenger realized that his struggles were not having any effect, too. escaping sunny's cruel claws,
  he instantly escaped the shadows and emerged into the world above.
  
  they rolled through the ruins, exchanging a series of blows. sunny received several more wounds, but
  the hateful fiend... his armor was still as impenetrable as ever!
  
  'curse you! what do i have to do for you to finally die, damn it?!‘
  
  infuriated, sunny grabbeti the towering ogre anti smashed through the wall of a building, using the
  creature's body as a ram. of course, that was not going to be of any use... a corrupted devil could crash
  through a mountain, anti still walk away without anything more than a couple bruises.
  
  behind the wall, there was a slope of charred rubble. they fell down, enticing up in a shallow pit.
  
  at some point, sunny had lost his swords, and the creature had lost its black saber. the two of them
  stared at each other for a moment, both full of murderous rage.
  
  ...'l'hen, however, the scavenger's gaze changed slightly.
  
  sunny's face changed, too.
  
  that was because he felt a slight tremor spreading through the ground beneath them. his eyes widened.
  'hell...'
  
  in front of him, the battered fiend suddenly recoiled, trying to escape into the shadows once again —
  this time, he was going to simply blink away instead of traveling through the dark realm.
  
  but sunny had other plans.
  
  "where do you think you're going?!"
  
  grabbing the abomination by the shin, he dragged him back, and then pressed the bastard into the
  ground. a series of painful blows rained on sunny's already cut and injured body, but he just held the
  ogre tighter.
  
  "what, are you afraid to die?! let's die... let's die together!"
  
  the scavenger, despite all his sharp intelligence, was really too naive. the explosion was not going to
  harm a corrupted devil... however, the creature did not know that. he had only gained full sentience a
  few short months ago, after all.
  
  sunny laughed, then used all but a few drops of his remaining essence to call upon the shadows. they
  surged forth, encasing the two of them in a sphere. then, more shadows rose, creating a second layer
  around the black egg, and then the third.
  
  sunny could have tried to escape the blast by turning incorporeal... however, there had to be a shadow
  for him to remain in that state. once this whole area blew to smithereens, everything would be flooded
  with light. the shadows would be banished, and he would be thrown back into the material world.
  
  so, he created this egg, trapping the two of them inside.
  
  maybe it was even sturdy enough to resist
  
  "wretch... one way or the other... you're going to die today!"
  
  he continued to hold the scavenger and pummel him with his free hand, feeling the skin on his
  knuckles splitting despite being reinforced by the marble shell. the bone armor of the abomination,
  nevertheless, refused to crack.
  
  the scavenger fought back desperately, too.
  
  they were surrounded by darkness, the world outside hidden by the walls of the black sphere.
  
  that was why sunny did not see the rampart protocol coming into effect to obliterate a vast swath of
  the city, the remains of the wall, and the killing field beyond.
  
  ...however, he did feel it.

They both have deep hatred for each other, that's a very strong feeling, and that's one of the "benchmark" (allow me to use that word) for receiving an Echo.

They leave a deep impression on you. —Echoes.

    Think about all the Echoes he has received till date. From the Carapace Scavenger, Saint, Nightmare, that dude with the Shadow aspect, (I don't remember his name) they all left deep impressions on him.

      So did the knight in the chapel at the forgotten shore, underwater one he fought but got a memory from it and goliath. Those left an impression as well. As for the ones you mentioned maybe some sense of acknowledgement.

        I don't remember how that Knight died, did Saint land the finishing blow or was it Sunny...?
        
        Goliath was already defeated by the Heart of Darkness, it was like a walking corpse.
        
        Well like I said, it's one of the "benchmarks" or "Criteria" taken into consideration when receiving a new Echo.
        
        It's just speculation for now, I could be wrong tho..!

        Correct me if 'm wrong but I think it was Saint that dealt the finishing blow to the Dark Knight in the Cathedral, I think she consumed the Dark Knight just like she did with the "Heart Of Darkness" that was when she got the Darkness Aspect in the Forgotten Shore Arc.

  To me it seems more as if the entity has a proper ego, no? Scavanger has it's own emotions and it's own character, most of the echos we seen had something similar I guess.
