Shadow Slave FanFic [Missing Piece]

Chapter 23: A Talk with The Devil 18+



They didn't expect any guests for today so the ringing of the Doorbell was more than a little unexpected.

It was infuriating.

How could someone dare to interrupt the rare moment they had?

Frustrated Beyond belief, Sunny sends a Shadow downstairs to see who the unwelcome Guest could be. To his surprise he found someone of high status and power standing in front of his door waiting patiently for someone to open.

The woman with Black hair and striking Red eyes looked at the Shadow that had slid from under the Door and gave it a subtle smile before waving at it.

"I wanted to have a talk with you Saint Sunless. I hope my surprise visit didn't cause you any problems."

Morgan of Valor exclaimed with her usual stoic but weirdly warm demeanor. Sunny has Forgotten her too of course but in 4 years it would be utterly impossible to not hear of the famous Princess of War that was in addition Nephis Step Sister. Only on paper of course. Since the 2 shared nothing more than what Was absolutely necessary.

Nephis had explained her relation with Valor to him throughout and how his interactions with Morgan specifically had looked Like in the past. He didn't like her one bit. So much he knew after seeing her in front of his Door.

He didn't know what to do exactly since he had no intentions or even interest in talking to Morgan about anything.

But he also knew from the look on the woman's face and the things he heard over the years that she would not simply leave him alone without getting what she wants.

And what she wanted was obvious from the moment she appeared here personally.

"It's Morgan of Valor. She wants to have a talk."

He said with a sigh full of frustration. He wasn't scared to talk to the woman at all. His ability to kill her if things went south was nothing he would question but recognize as a fact.

Still, he had no intentions of joining one of the Great Clans and therefore putting another Chain around his neck. That, he had no interest in, no matter how many Benefits they would promise him.

Nephis studied his expression for a short moment. She had expected her adoptive sister to appear sooner rather than later of course but had hoped to have a few more days till something like an Invitation Letter would arrive in his Mailbox.

'That she would come here personally is a bit forceful, isn't it? I guess she asked Or rather 'convinced' the government to give her his current address.'

Sunny has been missing for Almost 4 years after all so Morgan had no reason to believe that he was still at his house that he bought years ago. So someone had told her and if Nephis found out who it was she would make sure that this person had no future in the Government.

"What do you want to do?"

She asked him, expecting to let out a sigh of frustration and stand up from the Bed and dress himself. But instead he pulled Nephis up from the Bed and kissed her Gently. She didn't expect That but would never refuse his embrace, ever.

The kiss held and the thought of ignoring Morgan and just getting back to more important things like Nephis became more and more possible when once again the Doorbell rang.

Knowing that Morgan would not let the subject go, he did the only thing that would get her to leave and prepared for facing her by Shadow Stepping under the Shower along with Nephis.

Alongside her, he washed himself while studying the Droplets of water and Bubbles of Soap run down her ivory skin.

'Even the way the showers is Beautiful.'

It took every essence of self-control to not pull her towards him and make the world around them disappear while diving into the depths of Passion. In the end it was not up to him though as Nephis decided to give his back a good wash with her breast while bringing her hands around him and messaging his Dick Till his knees gave in a little as the ejaculat washed down the drain.

Breathing heavy he turned to face her with a dazed Look and mumbled barely audible under the sound of the hot Shower.

"You're an Angel, no, a goddess. Thank you."

His words made her heart race again while a smile, she was sure would be hard to get rid off, crept up her lips in response.

"I Noticed that you were frustrated so I thought this would help you focus better at what's going to happen soon."

He gave her a nod and turned off the shower. Quickly they dried themselves off and got dressed in casual clothing that was not fit to face a Princess of Valor but Sunny couldn't care less about such theatrics.

Both Clad in one of Sunny's Black shirts and shorts they made their way downstairs. By now Morgan had waited almost half an hour in front of his Door which only proved how Determined she was.

'She's Stubborn, that much is clear.'

Is all he could think about when opening the Door with Nephis close behind him.

When he did, Morgan's face lit up at the sight of the young Saint in front of her. She felt weird for a moment. A feeling she rarely ever had and was crushed every time when thinking about her Flaw.

But seeing her dear Sister close behind him holding his free hand with her own 2 crushed that feeling even further. She would never admit It out loud but Morgan was not Oblivious to the fact that Nephis had a special kind of effect On People that surpassed what other Saints could pride themselves in.

Not just her looks were pristine but her reputation was truly sublime In the general Public. Morgan knew that she could not compete in that department even though the question of who's more Attractive was still Up for debate.

Sunny looked at Morgan Clad In a Formal Suit. Her red Blouse under the Black Jacket accommodated her red lips and Eyes perfectly so he couldn't deny her Beauty but that wasn't relevant.

He only had eyes for the woman holding his hands and that would never Change.

Noticing another detail that piqued his interest when Morgan offered her hand for him to shake made him wonder for a second as he noticed the simple but strong spell Weave inside her black gloves.

'It makes the Gloves more durable. Maybe it has something to do with her Flaw.'

He thought while Giving her a fake smile and took her hand.

"It's nice to see you again Saint Sunless. It has been quite a while. You too, dear Sister, although I'm a little surprised to see you here."

Her tone didn't show any signs of hostility. Although she was quite frustrated to see Nephis here since she had hoped to talk with the man named Sunless in private. It wasn't a big deal of course since Morgan was confident in her Negotiations skills.

"I had important errands to attend to so I have been away for quite a while."

"That Is out of the question for a Man of your Status and strength and that is exactly why I'm here today. Your…performance in the Battle to defend the Human Settlement and also the Millions of life's living in it was truly amazing. So I wish to get you to Join us and serve under the Banner of Valor."

Before Sunny could give her an Answer Morgan chuckled and added with a now much brighter smile.

"Seeing that my sister and you are Clearly in a Relationship I think marriage is the easiest way to make that happen quickly. I don't think I have to explain how many Benefits you would get from joining our cause."

Sunny couldn't help But chuckle before noticing Nephis grabbing his hands a bit firmer. As if saying 'Stay Strong I'm with you'.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you Morgan but I'm not interested In Joining the Great clan Valor. Or any Great clan if that helps to calm your mind."

Morgan had expected that Answer of course but giving up and letting him off easy was nothing she was known for so instead she began listing all the things Sunny would get from joining them. She knew the man was not above fighting for others when he was paid to do so of course.

And money along with other things like Memories and Echoes was something Clan Valor Could provide plenty. Little did she know Sunny was more than capable of getting his hands on Memories and Echoes way more Powerful than anything Valor had to offer. Even the King of Swords, he felt like, could not craft a more Powerful Memory than him.

"I hope you make the right decision here and choose to ally yourself with us. After all, the offer I'm making is something Noone else in the 2 worlds would get the Chance to accept."

At this point Sunny was bored and Frustrated to say the least. Listening to Morgan's useless attempts To pique his interest he felt like Watching Paint dry would be more interesting than this.

He had long given up on holding up a friendly smile and was looking at her with a straight face completely devoid Of Emotion. Except for his Eyes that forced themselves into her Soul to analyze it.

'Those Eyes, he had them years ago but now they look like the ones from a Predator Instead of those from just a Killer…scary. And exactly what we need.'

Is all she could think of as she wondered if she could defend herself against Sunny If he decided that he had enough of her attempts to convince him.

Looking at Nephis for A Second she saw a subtle smile on her sister's Lips.

'You are wasting your Time Sister.'

Is what she deduct from that expression of hers. And she would be right.

"I'm really not interested. If that's all I would like you to leave us alone, please."

In his tone was a subtle amount of hostility mixed which Didn't go unnoticed to Morgan. She had exhausted his patience. So much was clear to her.

Accepting defeat, she let out a Frustrated sigh and was about to bid her farewell when suddenly a Black, Armored PTV stopped near the House.

The Doors opened and 3 Women stepped out of The Vehicle and made their way over to the entrance next to Morgan.

Immediately the Mood shifted for the worse As 3 Saints of Song Stood next to each other Offering an amazing and Alluring sight.

Seishan was dressed In a Beautiful Red dress while Revel was wearing the same just in Black. But the 3rd one put Sunny on edge as he noticed himself being drawn to the breathtaking Beauty of Beastmaster.

Sunny had been informed about his relations with 2 of the 3 too. But Revel was someone Nephis did not expect. As the oldest of the Song Sisters she rarely Left the Domain, ever. Even getting a glimpse At her seemed impossible as she rarely ever showed Herself in public.

But one thing she knew about the woman who was known as The Lightslayer, she is Strong and commanded True Darkness. Sunny's Natural enemy.

'Not Good.'

Is what all 6 of them thought at the same time. The tension that seemed to bend the world rose between Morgan and the 3 Song Sisters And threatened to break out into a Battle.

Sunny raised 2 Hands and Clapped once to pull them all out of their Bloodlust.

Everyone looked at him evenly. Waiting for him to say something and so he did.

"I really and I mean really are on my last Straw here. My patience is running low and I have no interest in Listening to you too, Clan Song. But if you all don't cut it out and don't stop with the Bloodlust I see myself in the need to remove you from my Property. With force if necessary, and trust me, I will not be Gentle."

Everyone knew immediately that the Threat Sunny was making was not empty. One look into his eyes promised nothing but Death if they dared to disturb his Peace any longer.

"We just came here to say hello, Young Brother. Can't old friends reunite and just look after eachother?"

Bestmater asked carefully. Their end Goal Was obvious of course.

To get Sunny on their Side before Valor could. Using Seishan as Bait to maybe pique his interest was a useless attempt. He and her never Spoke much and obviously had no Bond to speak of but bringing her With them couldn't hurt. Is what they thought.

Before Sunny could spit his Answer Revel looked him up and down before sharing a Glance with Nephis.

"So these are the 2 who Killed Dire Fang as Master?"

The question wasn't directed at Sunny so he didn't have to Answer. But in the end he didn't care so he did so anyway along with Beastmaster's seemingly innocent Question.

"Yes I believe so. And no I don't see any of you as my Friends. I don't even remember you."

His words rang through the Neighborhood now more audible, close to shouting but not quite there yet.

They could feel the Bloodlust Coming from him as the Shadows grew deeper And the Air around them much colder. They all held themselves back from shivering at The sight of the Immensely powerful Saint.

Suddenly a feeling of Calm and delight overcame Sunny as Beastmaster decided to give his Mind a little challenge. Her attempt Was not to harm or irritate him but to calm him down.

A fatal Mistake as it turns out since second later Sunny shot her a Murderous Glance and growled subtly before Manifesting an Odachi in his free hand that previously held the Door.

"You dare to play with my Mind? I warn you one last time if you don't return to wherever you came from I will Show you what it means to make me an enemy."

He Took a deep breath and let Madness overcome him for a second. Moments later a sinister Chuckle vibrated through their Body's as a voice that seemed to not be his own, since it was filled with mocking and anger rang through their ears. Promising a gruesome Death.

"Maybe I will add to this Scar of yours and Play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe on your Forehead. How does that sound?"

He said while raising his sword and pointed it at her.

Beastmasters eyes widened to a point where one might think her eyes would fall out any second.

'That is not the same Guy I met in the Nightmare Desert. He was ruthless and cunning before but now he Is utterly mad. Even worse than the Prince of Nothing.'

Revel was about to summon her Weapon when suddenly the Sun dimmed and they were all drowned in a Dark Shadow of 2 Figures that emerged without making a single Sound out of nowhere.

Fiend towered over them with immense anger Burning in his Incandescent eyes along with Saints who although was a little Smaller seemed no less powerful.

The 2 Shadows stare at the Group of Saints in front of their Masters Door like the prey they are, Revel immediately dismisses the Idea to start a fight as the reality that she might not be able to end what she would start.

"We are sorry to have disturbed you and will leave immediately. Until we meet again Saint Sunless. Have a good day."

Seishan grabbed her 2 Sisters by the Arms leaving no room for them to protest and immediately drove off with them, hoping that Sunny didn't care about them.

"DO YOU HAVE A DEATHWISH?"

Seishan screamed at Beastmaster in disbelief.

"What? I thought he was a little too riled up so I wanted to calm him down. How was I supposed to know that he has gotten mad over the Years."

She knew she had made a mistake but at the time it seemed the best course of Action.

Seishan tried to calm down as the Memories from the Forgotten Shore pryed themselves back from the Depths of her mind. The very same Memories she swore to never let her hurt again since her Trauma from that time was like a Second Flaw, always threatening to send her into a downward spiral.

"I told you how dangerous he is. He is a ruthless killer before anything else. That guy may have fooled many others on the…the Forgot…that Hell but not me. I know how much of a Monster he is."

Her breathing became more unstable as she felt a Panic attack overcoming her.

"You have seen the Footage from a couple of days Ago just like I have. He has single handedly killed a Great Terror and a Corrupted Titan. Even the other 2 Gate Guardians would not have fallen without his doings. The power that this man possesses is beyond what any other Saint could ever dream about to achieve."

Her words hung in the Air with a depressing underlying message that neither Beastmaster nor Revel could deny any longer.

"He is just like Changing Star and Mordret, right? A Divine Aspect holder."

"Yes, that is Correct."

The driver responded with a Chuckle.

All 3 of them Looked with puzzled expressions at him through the small window connecting the Driver and Passenger Cabin.

"Mordret?"

Revel asked in disbelief. The driver, in response, just nodded while a Mad smile crept up his lips before they parted.

"I'm sorry to not have informed you about stealing this guy's Body but how could I refuse the Chance to meet my dear friend Sunless once again? Watching him putting you all in your place was magnificent. He has truly exceeded my expectations."

He took a death breath before continuing with his speech.

"Although seeing my Sister made it hard for me to control myself to kill her I think you all should take an example of my self control. Even I managed to control myself in this situation so I think you 3 should have no problem with doing what's good for you and preserve your life's by NOT making an enemy out of him."

Hearing him talk like that sickened them to their Stomachs, but denying the truthfulness of his words would be foolish.

"Is there nothing we can do? How come you have not tried to take over his Body? I thought there was no one who could beat you in a Battle of Souls."

Mordret laughed wholeheartedly at Revel's question. He was reluctant to tell them since it would undermine his strength, although just by a little since it was only affected by those other 2 Monsters, but he felt it was necessary since he needed Clan Song for his Plans and couldn't risk losing some of their most pristine Champions.

"Listen carefully you 3. Sunless and Nephis are the only 2 People who's Soulsea I will never step foot in again. In one of them I would get burned to a pitiful pile of Ash while in the other Countless Shadows of dreadful Abominations and Humans would rip anything apart that dares to enter it without their Masters Invitation."

His words hit them hard but all just nodded as they swallowed the weight of his words with fear and hope to never meet the Man named Sunless ever again.
