Inviting a Killer Into Your Soul

Sunny said that he would take the risk — but really, he was quite concerned. He did not know what would happen next. 

The first part was not at all surprising…

[Your shadow grows stronger.]

The Handy Bracelet might not have been enchanted to react when Sunny killed a shadow, but a Shadow Creature was different. He had some experience with that.

As soon as the voice spoke into his ear, Sunny felt a torrent of fragments rush into his soul — quite a bit less than what he had received after slaying the shadow of Condemnation, but still an amazing amount. 

'Ah…'

He could feel subtle changes happening to his body, making him a little bit stronger. Even though he had already formed all seven cores, there was still one final feat left to perform — it was to saturate them fully once and for all. Before that, the familiar hunt for shadow fragments would still hold some meaning for him, albeit less than before.
