Sunny appeared once more near the barrow. The fierce deamon mask looked especially daunting today.
His shadow expanded, becoming larger, and in a moment, all the shades in pristine condition appeared. Today, they did not march. He sent his army out in a sprint. Sunny joined them.
Hearing a sword clashing against a shield, Sunny looked to his right and saw Saint. She was atop Nightmare, riding quickly.
Summoning Serpent as the Jian blade, the millipedes appeared right on queue, but this time they were led by multiple Great Devils. What Sunny had destroyed yesterday was merely one of their army's generals.
However, today the Queen came outside herself with her generals. If she allowed Sunny to continue to escape after destroying her minions and come back with an army again, that would have been a problem, so she reassessed Sunny's danger level.
Great Tyrants were extremely smart. Take, for example, the Skin Walker. It was only one class above at Terror, but with planning, it was able to cause so much trouble that Sunny and Nephis didn't know what to do exactly.
It adapted to their countermeasures with time. Showing foresight many months in advance. It lived for four years ever since it was it came out of the gate in Antarctica.
Not hiding his excitement since the mask was covering his face, Sunny wrapped all the shadows around him. Instantly, he felt like his vessel contained an unfathomable amount of power.
He gripped Serpent with all his titanic power. The blade could withstand it since it was also a titan itself. Any other blade would shatter.
After the Tyrant reached a good distance away from its barrow, Sunny speculated that at this distance, the Tyrant wouldn't be able to run away. So, he did something new. Today, he would not be an arrowhead of the army. Alternatively, he shadow stepped a good distance behind the Great Tyrant.
There would be no retreat today. The battle started quickly. Sunny summoned the [Shadow Lantern] and the shadows spilt out, encasing Sunny. His form became large. Slightly larger than the Tyrant. He assumed the Shadowspawn form. With four arms.
Each one held a lance except for one, which was the Jian Blade.
Sunny launched himself forward. Almost arriving in front of the queen as if he used Shadow Step.
The ground trembled.
The Great Devils tried to intercept in order to help, but Sunny didn't hold back. A lance moved forward and didn't even strike the Devil instead, it targeted its shadow.
For a moment, the creature shuddered, it had never expected soul damage so quickly, but before it could regret its choice, it was cleanly cleaved into two, then four, and finally eight. All six hands sliced and diced quickly.

The Queen wasn't standing by idly. She moved in her fearsome carapace, which was basically an impenetrable chitin, smashed into Sunny's large frame.
Sunny was quickly disoriented. The Millipede Queens existed in the gaps between two moments, so Sunny couldn't really discern when he was hit exactly. The damage was also frightening.
Luckily, he wielded Will. It was sort of a mystical defence that negated some of the effects. He wouldn't let her go unchallenged. So, in a moment that Shadowspawn that she rammed into dissolved.
Her moment carried her forward, and Sunny slipped right under the abomination, carving his blade through. Until he was directly behind, he leapt up into the air. Directly behind the Tyrant, it tried to turn around, only for the shadows to come alive and continue to drag her forward.
Sunny commanded Serpent to grow until it became a giant battle axe. Sunny didn't increase his size except for his arms.
It came down violently. The Queen exerted her power greatly at that moment. Using everything to stop the blow. It was as if it didn't even exist. The great axe's time stopped instantly.
Turning around, the Queen swiped at Sunny and to the Queen's surprise, Sunny instantly dissolved. Disappearing.
That was because it wasn't him. It wasn't even a single incarnation. Sunny had become talented at Shadow Manifestation, and so he built a copy of himself out of shadows in the instant the Queen lost eye contact with him. He had turned into a shadow and hid himself right underneath. In a single moment, he was behind the Queen again.
In the future, Sunny's Supreme Art became advanced. He wrapped six shadows in the last second into the blade. This was one of the three applications he figured out. He would rotate shadows from his blade to his body. He swung with the strength as well as the speed of a titan, and his blade was impossibly sharp.
A Supreme weapon of the seventh tier, enhanced six times over. Swung with the strength of a Great Titan
The Queen's vision turned upside down.
It left vulnerabilities for that instant, so he had to be careful when he did this; he was already punished for it in the future, but in this moment, he slayed a Great Tyrant. It was for a multitude of reasons. But again, the most important part was that he was already familiar with their battle style, and he had already beaten them once.
[You have slain a Great Tyrant]
His own voice spoke back. It was nice having the handy bracelet again.
In the distance, Sunny could see three more armies approaching. Indeed, at this point, it was obvious Sunny was a Supreme Titan. He counted eighteen Great Devils and three Great Tyrants. With countless Corrupted creatures. The other armies wouldn't arrive as quickly as these three.
Looking back, Sunny's army was getting dismantled. Saint, Fiend, and Nightmare were holding back a Great Devil, but they were all Transcended, and they were gaining an advantage slowly.
Sunny shadow stepped to them and defeated the wounded Great Devil. A second later, Mimic came by to swallow it up. It seemed like it had just finished eating up the Tyrant as well.
It would take the first army thirty seconds to reach the battlefield, but in thirty seconds, Sunny would completely annihilate everything here. In a moment, the battlefield was transformed. Using the [Shadow Lantern], a large shadow swept across the field while javelins, lances, and spears jutted out of the ground.
As a Supreme, Sunny could easily make weapons of the Supreme rank using only shadows. He merely had to imbue his essence with it. The army didn't stand a chance without any of their Great abominations. They would use their will to slow the shadows and give their minions more time to dodge.
Sunny had specifically attacked the weakest Tyrant. She only commanded two Great Devils. The others had, on average, five to ten Great Devils serving them.
While Sunny destroyed the army, he sent his shadow sense deeper. Underground, he carved a large path using shadows he had unleashed using the lantern. Nobody noticed since the ground was already trembling intensely.
Sunny had won this battle. He didn't even summon the new shades that he won in this battle. Since he wanted to appear as if he was retreating and his army was getting destroyed.
Sunny continuously had his army retreat until the first Tyrant with six Great Devils appeared on the old battlefield. They were intent on following Sunny to the ends of the earth. They suddenly stopped when the Shade Legion seemingly disappeared without a trace.
Then they saw it. In the air, Sunny was using the [Shadow Lantern] to continuously increase his size to a giant. For a moment, it looked like one of the giants that lived in the Burned Forest had returned.
Their gazes were looking up intensely when it happened. Serpent, in its Supreme Titan form, broke through the ground, swallowing and killing another Great Tyrant.
