Which is similar to what Cassie reported to Nephis about the Shadow Lord. The timeline for that encounter between Nephis and Shadow Lord is a few days after this conversation, but it would seem that she should be able to start to connect Sunny's different personal together.
Wow, I was not expecting Fate to be so thourgh in erasing all evidence of Sunny from existence.
Well, she is a Saint, so an Ascended Devil shouldn't pose a threat to her.
Depends on the culture. In some locations, people will refer to friends that they are close with as brother or sister. Also, Beastmaster referred to Sunny as 'little brother' when she offered him a ride, so there is precident in this story for that cultural quirk.
But if she detonated, she would kill off the 7 Masters who are accompanying her.
Nephis has met Saint (again), and Saint's presence is powerful. If Sunny had wrapped his spare shadows around Saint, that would have given her a power boost. Now, what if Saint disappears into the darkness, and a demonic horse (augmented with shadows) appears, followed by Shadow Dragon and Fiend, before Nephis and party encounter the Lord of Shadows himself. That would be an effective way for Sunny to misrepresent his actual battle strength.
The extra pressure could be from Saint now being a Soverign, but a simpler answer is that she has 4 shadows from a Transcendent Saint augmenting her.
Soul Reaper can see Skinwalker too...
So much for the idea that Mordret possibly remembered Sunless. Mordret would have had an even rougher time trying to possess Sunny's soul this time around.
This would explain how the rumors of the Lord of Shadows reached the ears of the King of Swords...
And just like that, the smile on Sunny's face is wiped off...
Rain would have moved wherever her adoptive father had been transferred to. He was a government worker after all.
Someone in the comments in the previous chapter remembered...
Sigh, is this a clue that the 4 years of peace and quiet are coming to an end? I can see Raised by Wolves and Soul Reaper being called for a meeting with Valor to help with a developing situation. Some citadel with a Great Devil has had its guardian killed off, and none of Valor's seers, not even Cassie, can see who or what killed it off. It seems empty, but they know that there has to be a significantly powerful being there, so Valor asked the government Saints for backup in their scouting force...
It was likely the first thing he did, to test drive his new Transcendent powers.
Really? I heard they were looking for Nobody..
