Shadow Rank: Awakened.
Shadow Class: Demon.
Shadow Attributes: [Battle Master], [Stalwart], [Spark of Divinity].
Shadow Abilities: [Weapon Sage], [Underworld Armament].
Shadow Fragments: [80/200]
Concentrating on the [Underworld Armament] Ability, Sunny read:
[Shadow Saint's armor can accommodate a charm Memory to inherit its enchantments.]
His smile widened.
'Good... that's the first part...'
Looking a bit higher, he found another string of runes:
Attribute: [Stalwart].
Attribute Description: [The Stone Saint is highly resistant to all forms of damage, as well as being fully immune to mind and soul attacks.]
Fully immune to mind and soul attacks…
'Yes!'
Sunny let out a satisfied sigh. The Broken Oath was pretty useless by itself, but when combined with Saint's special Ability and Attributes, it would make his Shadow even more lethal.
That was because Saint was a very special kind of demon. One whose will couldn't be intruded upon or shaken. Both her mind and her soul… well, the shadow that inhabited her body instead of a soul… were utterly indomitable.
He only had to make sure to not be anywhere near the living statue while she had the crimson gem set into her armor.
Tricky, but doable.
And speaking of armor…
He was not done exploring his Memories yet.
In fact, he had left the best for last.
Looking at the shimmering runes, Sunny concentrated on a particular string. One that looked broken and incomplete:
Memory: [M… Un…old].
Now that he was Awakened, he could finally restore the broken onyx armor he had bought from Stev for a measly handful of soul shards.
The Ascended suit of armor of the Sixth Tier — the most powerful Memory he owned.
Or seen, even…
Summoning the [M… Un…old], Sunny strained his muscles and, with some effort, managed to place it on the floor in front of him. Even now that he was an Awakened, the weight of the stone Memory was not something he could endure easily without using both of his shadows or wasting essence to enhance his strength.
Breathing a bit heavily, Sunny studied the damaged Memory.
The suit of ancient plate armor was jet black in color. Its design was intricate and solemn, radiating a feeling of dark resolve and stalwart, adamantine grace. Its glossy surface seemed to absorb and devour any light that fell on it. All parts of the armor were perfectly fitted to one another, creating an almost seamless barrier of impenetrable steel.
Well… not steel, yet. Stone.
The ancient armor looked extremely similar to the one Stone Saint had worn, and now that the Shadow was a demon, they were even more alike. The onyx armor in front of Sunny was still more impressive, though. More… regal. As if created for a being of a higher status.
And just like the armor worn by the Saint, it would only transform from actual stone into the miraculous stonelike alloy if risen from its passive state.
It couldn't be done yet, though, because its spellweave was damaged. To repair it, the self-restoring properties of the broken Memory had to be activated by an infusion of essence. Which no one back on the Forgotten Shore could do.
Now, however, things were different.
Now, Sunny was an Awakened. Not only could he control the flow of shadow essence inside his body, he even had the Soul Serpent to help him guide it.
Placing his hands on the cold surface of the onyx breastplate, Sunny closed his eyes…
And sent the essence into the onyx armor…
