  Be a bit grateful bro they do this in their free time instead they can just read it on their own. Bro is really complaining about getting a Webnovel that he would normally have to pay for for free 😂

    Would you be grateful if you were handed a free hotdog, just to find out it’s a turd in a toasted bun pretending to be a hotdog? It’s ok, they tried there best right? What I’m asking isn’t a big burden. We all read these chapters in less then 15 minutes, that’s all it would take to check for errors. Let’s not get complacent just because it’s free. They need to have some pride in there work and to do the original text justice.

      I get what you are saying but it’s not just this novel they are updating unless their scraping software will be improved there is nothing that’s gonna change. They are not gonna sit through and proofread every single chapter because it takes way too much time.

And here i am again)))
1081 Lake Ruin
Soon, they reached the army outpost- There had been a few Nightmare Creatures that attacked them on the way, including an especially vile Corrupted Monster - Sunny tore the former apart with hands woven out of shadows, and cut the latter down personally with a blade created the same way.
These days, he tried to avoid getting his own hands dirty, mostly using Shadow Manifestation to slaughter the enemy. Sunny wanted to hone and refine his mastery of Manifestation, anti for that, he needed a lot of practice.
Additionally. he felt that it was unnecessary for him to get up close and personal with every godforsaken abomination standing in his way.
Perhaps it was the nature of his current mission as a solitary scout, or perhaps Sunny had simply received a chance to return to being cautious and stealthy after years of being forced to play the role of a frontline fighter... in any case, he strived to only enter melee range with an enemy if he was certain of killing the foe with a single strike.
Usually, one of Sunny's strikes was enough. If not, he would avoid a confrontation entirely.
The army outpost was located underground, similar to the supply depot he had visited once in the Antarctic Center. However, as a member of the Special Reconnaissance unit, Sunny knew very well where all the army assets were hidden. Better yet, East Antarctica had no problems with communications... well, except for the usual interference of the Call... so he had been able to radio about their arrival in advance.
Sunny and the surviving MWP pilot were met by a cohort of sleep-deprived Awakened. Despite their visible fatigue, the soldiers stood at attention and saluted him respectfully. Their eyes betrayed a hint of
reverence.
"this again..."
Sunny was met with such stares anywhere he went in Antarctica, at least among the soldiers. The First Army and the Second Army were merged into one military now, but within it, people who had been in the Southern Quadrant since day one of the Chain of Nightmares were treated with silent respect.
That went tenfold for those who had been a part of the Antarctic Center contingent. The Antarctic Center had been the most terrifying battlefield of the operation yet, and almost the entire field army sent there had been wiped out. There were only a few survivors here and there mostly those who had been among the evacuated wounded.
Needless to say, Sunny was both a veteran of the Antarctic Center and an Ascended. That was why most soldiers treated him with veneration.
"Master Sunless, sir!"
He nodded at the welcoming party and handed over the MWP pilot to them. The young woman had done well keeping pace with him on the way to the outpost, but now that they had reached safety, she looked to be on the verge of collapse. of course, it was not at all surprising...
Sunny sighed and glanced at the Awakened.
"At ease. Take good care of the lieutenant... oh, and by the way. I've cleared a path through the hills and dealt with the Corrupted Monster that had been stalking the area. If you hurry, you might harvest what is left of it before more abominations show up."
The soldiers looked at each other, their eyes glinting. That monster had been causing a lot of trouble [or the outpost. especially considering that it had blocked the pathway through the hills. With the creature gone, logistics would become much easier for them.
"Thank you, sir!"
Sunny nodded.
"Well then, i'll be off."
He looked at the MWP pilot, lingered for a few moments, and then said awkwardly:
"Stay alive, soldier."
With that, Sunny stepped through the shadows and disappeared from view. He. had wasted a lot of time already, and was running late for the rendezvous with Soul Reaper.
The soldiers remained standing there for a while, staring at the empty space where he had stood before. Eventually, one of them said:
"That was him. The Devil..."
Another nodded with a stunned face.
But of course, Sunny was already far away and did not hear any of it.
The sun was circling in the sky, never falling behind the horizon. He glided through the shadows where he could, ran where he couldn't. From time to time, Sunny simply hid in the shadows, waiting for large swarms of Nightmare Creatures to pass by. These pauses slowed him down, but they also allowed him to recover some essence.
He avoided getting into fights to preserve more of it, as well... and also because there was no reason to. It was already evening, or whatever passed for one in this strange land, when Sunny drew near another min. The city in front of him was almost entirely destroyed, and drowned by a vast lake, with only the remains of tall towers rising above the icy water.
The ruin was different from the one from before, and much older - it had been left behind by the wars that humans waged on each other during the Dark Times. not the rampage of the Chain of Nightmares. Nevertheless, the drowned city was Sonny's current mission.
He bid himself in the shadows of a rusted wreck and studied the ruin. There were bodies of Nightmare Creatures floating near one of the towers, painting the water black. Each of them seemed to have been killed by a single arrow. Sunny observed the area for a few minutes, noticing strange ripples on the surface of the lake - there were more abominations hiding underwater.
Finally satisfied, he activated his comm and contacted Jet.
"Reaper, it's Devil. I have arrived."
A few seconds later, her voice came through the static.
"... Took you long enough. Where are you?"
He looked around.
"Southern shore, near an old wreck on the slope of a flat hill."
Jet took a few minutes to respond.
"I see it. Move west for about a kilometer, then follow a collapsed tower into the lake. From there, you'll be able to see three huge smokestacks. I'tn in the middle one. near the top, Get here as soon as possible... and be careful of the water. It is teeming with schools of tiny, hungry fishes."
Sunny lingered for a moment.
"Got it. What about the target?"
Soul Reaper responded in a few seconds, her voice sounding a bit tense:
"It's in the middle of the lake. I was waiting for you to arrive before trying to get a better look."
Nodding, Sunny glanced at the ripples in the cold water one more time, and then dashed out of his shelter.

~~1082 Ancient Chimneys~~
1082 Ancient Chimneys
He reached the giant chimney without too much problem, avoiding the teeth of the vicious fish-like creatures with the help of the Dark Wing and a couple of perilous leaps. The structure was wide and incredibly tall, reaching at least three hundred meters into the sky... and that was just the part visible above the water.
There were a few holes in the frame of the alloy smokestack, so Sunny did not waste time jumping through one of them. He found himself in a vast, dark well, still water radiating bone-chilling cold a few meters beneath his feet. A tiny circle of light was visible hundreds of meters above.
Sunny did not know what kind of industrial behemoth had demanded such an enormous chimney - three of them, in fact — and what kind of poison had been billowing out of them into the atmosphere in the past. However, even now, decades or even centuries later, the air inside was acrid and hard to inhale, reminding him of the worst days in the outskirts.
Grimacing, Sunny looked around, and then jumped to a piece of scaffolding a dozen or so meters above his current position.
Landing noiselessly on the weathered alloy, he smiled at Saint, who had been standing there, still as a statue, holding a bow in one hand. The taciturn knight turned her head slightly, acknowledging his arrival, then indifferently continued to watch the base of the smokestack.
He could feel Nightmare hiding in the darkness nearby, dissolved into the shadow form. The black steed moved, greeting him, and then grew still once again.
"Good work, guys."
Sunny's comm hissed.
"Get up here, I'm bored out of my mind."
He sighed, then turned into a shadow himself and ascended the tall structure, gliding upward in a wide spiral. As Stmny was going up the old alloy walls, he found himself involuntarily thinking about how long it would take Imp to eat the whole thing. Then, he caught himself and scoffed.
'Gods, what am I thinking about?
But... it was really a lot of alloy...
At the top of the smokestack, strange machines were installed into the mouth of the well, and the walls were blackened by fire and soot. The acrid smell was somewhat reduced by the proximity to the open
sky.
Jet was sitting on one of the pieces of machinery, her feet hanging above the abyssal drop. Noticing Sunny step out of the shadows, she closed the lid of an army-issued thermos, threw it into her backpack, and grinned.
"Here you are."
He nodded.
"Yeah. Sorry for making you wait."
Soul Reaper shook her head.
I
"I've been on a long reconnaissance mission the entire week. Honestly, having a chance to just sit and relax for a few hours was exactly what I needed."
let had joined the Special Reconnaissance Unit, just like Sunny. They mostly worked alone, but for the more dangerous missions, Army Command grouped two or more scouts together. As a result, the two of them continued to cooperate and fight side by side through most of the past few months. By now, they made for a very good team.
Jet stood up and looked around, studying the ancient machinery.
"Hey, do you know what these things were for?"
Sunny shook his head.
"No. Do you?"
She walked along the edge of the alloy platform and nodded.
"It's a filtration system. Basically, one furnace pushed a constant stream of toxic smoke through the smokestack, and on top of it... was another furnace. This one meant to burn all the toxicity out of the smoke and prevent it from getting into the atmosphere. So, each of these chimneys used to shoot out a colossal plume of fire into the sky. Must have been quite a sight, especially in winter."
Sunny scratched the back of his head.
"...Sounds kind of stupid."
Jet glanced at him with a bleak expression.
"Well, I'm not an engineer. It must have worked... otherwise, why waste all that time and energy on constructing filters? Anyway, let's get to the top. The faster we finish the mission, the faster we can get the hell out of this stench."
"Well, I'm not an engineer. It must have worked... otherwise, why waste all that time and energy on constructing filters? Anyway, let's get to the top. The faster we finish the mission, the faster we can get the hell out of this stench."
They scaled the last dozen or so meters of the smokestack using an ancient, rickety ring ladder, and climbed onto the lip of the giant chimney. It was as wide as a road. From here, most of the lake, and the city drowned by it, could be easily seen.
Sunny stared down, appreciating the surreal beauty of the desolate landscape beneath them. Almost at the same time, two of his shadows reached the top of the other two giant smokestacks.
let glanced at him.
"Well?"
He hesitated for a few moments.
"The one to our left is empty, but the right one... there is something hiding inside. Something... huge." All the shadow could see were loops of flesh coiled inside the dark well of the ancient smokestack, filling almost a third of it.
Jet sighed with relief.
"Well, good. Because we need to get to the left one. Leave that thing, whatever it is, alone." Sunny nodded, ordering his shadow to hide itself and keep an eye on the gargantuan creature.
The three towering chimneys were not too far away from each other, so getting from one to another was not a problem to them. However, it was not very safe - if something attacked you in the air, staying alive would be a challenge. So, unless someone like Kai was around, at least two people were required to keep each other safe.
Sunny temporarily borrowed Morgan's Barbow from Saint, and covered Jet as she glided across the wide gap between smokestacks using a flight Memory. She reached the next chimney, then summoned half a dozen sharp throwing stars and did the same for him — Sunny used the Dark Wing to breach the gap, and soon joined Jet.
Now, they were very close to coming in sight of the target of this mission.
He frowned.
"Do you feel it?"
Soul Reaper slowly nodded.
"Yeah. The Call is much stronger here. There must be a Category Three Gate nearby."
They walked to the opposite side of the smokestack and looked down. From that position, nothing obstructed their view of the middle of the lake.
And there, nestled between the ancient ruins...
Sunny sighed.
"That... is going to be trouble."
