The adventure begin.
Sunny and Raine spent few months traveling around while hunting nightmare creatures.
They visited all kinds of places.
Raine even took him to a graveyard.
He told Sunny with moist eyes that this place was realted to Prisma.
Sunny finally confirmed that Prisma was actually his long dead wife.
He even console the man, saying that his sword will always be by his side.
...
The grinding continued.
....
....
In some corner of forgotten shore, some ruins stood in shambles.
This place looked run down by a hurricane. But strangely no nightmare creatures were in sight.
Inside the underground chambers of a large building, two mans were sleeping.
...On top of a pile of soul shards.
The place looked like it was left behind by some famous pirates. Or maybe it was a treasury of some royals.
But No.
This all treasure was collected by these two mans alone in these three months since they had left the dark City.
And now they were lying on top of this treasure like some greedy dragons.
"Man, This is life." The black haired man said in the air.
"With this much money, I'll buy myself a big castle. Just like the bright castle. "
"And then I'll fill it's all rooms with soul shards just like this."
"You sure?, that would take you thousand of years considering how big the Bright castle is." The white haired man said.
"I.... I'll buy a smaller one." The back haird man replied.
"Sure, but we need to move all this money back, and that would be a huge pain."
"And seeing the distance, we can't just go and buy that storage memory and bring it back."
"So we have to carry it on our own." The white haired man sounded tired.
"Bastard, why are you sounding like it's a pain. If I would get it all afterwards, I'll even lift a whole mountain of soul shards." Black haired man announced.
"...."
"Hay, I have an idea, how about you carry this all, and you can take my share as well?" The white haired man asked.
"You sure? You won't back down once we reach the castle, right?" The black haired guy asked, suspiciously.
"Nah, I don't need money if it comes with the price of carrying it's waight. But...."
"But?"
"But I still want to buy that storage memory, so once we reach the castle you have to give me shards valuing over a thousand." The white haired guy said.
The shards weren't all of same rank. The higher the tier the more valuable they were.
The black haired man looked around and tried to calculated the value lying around in the pile.
'It will be easily around four thousand or maybe even more, that means profit.'
"I agree,.....but if you break this deal, I'll seriously kill you, you got that?" The black haired guy warned.
"Sunny, my Bro, you don't change, do you? after spending three months together on this journey, you still think I'll break my words?" The white haired guy asked.
"No, I was just being extra careful, you can't be sure when it comes to money." The black haired man said.
"Ok, then, we got a deal." They shook hands like long buisness partners.
...
...
Sunny got up from the glittering pile of soul shards and moved towards the corner where a fearsome creatures was lying dead.
"Ok, let's eat before we head out, I'll cook something special for you...HAY, DON'T EAT THAT RAW, YOU BASTARD.... I SAID I'LL COOK, DAMMIT." Sunny shouted.
Raine turned to him with a mouthful of bloody meat.
"Nah, who cares. It's not like you can make it taste better."
Sunny was seriously offended.
Raine continued..."It doesn't matter how good you are at cooking, you know."
"You can't turn shit into delicious food by cooking it over fire.!"
Suddenly Sunny wasn't hungry anymore.
His appetite and his confidence got hit big times.
...
But he still forced himself to cook the food.
And threw the meat at the bastard's face, who just picked it up, and started to eat it without any complain.
His expression even looked better then when he was chewing on that raw meat.
Sunny's confidence started to repair slowly after seeing that.
"Ok, so how are we gonna carry all this?" Sunny asked.
"Not we, my friend. it's you alone. Remember the deal?" Raine gave him a cheeky smile.
Sunny just cursed under his breath.
...
...
A man was taking a leisurely walk as if walking in the park.
He had his hands on his pockets while he was whistling a happy tune.
He wore fancy cloths which had no sign of any dirt or stain as if is was just brought today.
No one could imagine that he was walking in an area full of monsters.
The monsters avoided the man as if avoiding death.
But he wasn't the source of their fear.
The monsters were afraid of the aura coming from the man walking beside him.
He was rough looking man who was dressed in dark cloths. He looked like he had fought a bloody battle which had continued for months.
He was sweating. His black armour was dirty and a dark cloak floated behind his back.
His expression was fearsome as if he was in the middle of a battle...while he carried a whole nightmare creatures on his head.....
This man was sunny....
Who was carrying his fortune inside a hollow shell of nightmare creature.
He had found this shell type monster inside the dark sea. And after blocking all the exits, it was turned to his makeshift chest.
....
"Huff...huff... Bastard,...you tricked me!...you knew it would be this hard!... that's why...huff... that's why you make that stupid deal ...I shouldn't have trusted you." Sunny said as he continued walking with a ton of weight on his head.
"Didn't you say that you can lift a whole mountain for this? Why are you complaining now?" Raine said mocking him while he enjoyed his stroll.
"Basterd, at least show some sympathy, I know you are enjoying, seeing me like this. I can see in on your face." Sunny shouted.
"Oh, what can I do....I would have helped you, you know. But I am not sure if I can even lift that waight."
"It's only because you are a devil now that you can carry it. ...And I am still stuck on fifteen hundred."
"I should have known that there was a reason behind the thousand cap limit. My core was about to burst apart..." Raine said.
"Even if you were stronger, I know you wouldn't have helped me anyway." Sunny accused.
"That's true." Raine admitted easily.
"Atleast you can deny that!... It would have made me feel better." Sunny cried.
"Well, not my style....And don't talk to much... You'll spend more energy... instead increase the pase... We are still far away from Dark City."
"Damnation!"
They continued forward.
The journey back took another one month, where Sunny greedily increased the waight on his own head.
....
....
"Yo, come on. That's the city wall over there. Move faster!"
"I'm trying, dammit. But my legs aren't working.... It's like I can't feel them anymore." Sunny moved slowly while carrying the Nightmare creature shell.
"How are you gonna carry it over the wall?" Raine asked as he looked at the tall wall.
"I'll kill you if you don't shut up." Sunny's angry voice was heard.
"Oh, I'm just concerned for you, you know."
....
....
The two of them moved towards their old place.
They were approaching the cathedral.
Sunny was planning to dump all this fortune inside that hidden chamber where this Basterd once took his mask.
"Hey, I think someone is inside there. A human." Raine told him.
"I don't care. If they are enemies, I'm gonna throw this whole thing on their head and they will die the most luxurious death in history of all dream realm." Sunny announced his plan proudly.
They entered the hall.
No knight was guarding this place anymore. No creature had taken this place.
But inside there was a person waiting for them.
...
"Sunny!"
"We need to talk."
The shell fell from Sunny's hands. The shards got scattered in all directions.
...
It was Nephis.
...
But she wasn't the reason for Sunny's shock.
Just now he had heard the spell whisper in his ear ....
[Your minion has been destroyed.]
