    Guys... mordret's flaw is so easy to guess... he is the lord of mirrors, he Has reflections etc. In last chapter we Had hints that something dwells within him. I AM sure that his soul, mind or something Has been split into 2 pieces

    can someone explain what is the difference of soul and spirit in SS? cuz if their soul is gone they became hallow (like nephis mother) but when their spirit is destroyed their body dies with it, cuz i'm starting to think nephis mother is still there in the dream realm and i think nephis mother is strong cuz she a true name "Smile of heaven"

      I don't think is was meant to be different the author just chose a different word. Only awakened and sleepers can become hollow. Nephis's mother was a Master when she became a hollow, so the only explication is that she was killed by a soul attack like Jet's or something similar. It's not possible for her to be in the dream realm with only her soul like an awakened or sleeper because when she became a master the soul linked to her body.

      And Hollows are humans who DIED in the dream realm. So Nephis mother is dead, but yeah she was VERY STRONG

    Quick question: what if nephs command contradict Sunny's flaw, in simplest of terms let's say she orders him to not speak, and someone asks a question, so he has to but can't speak? What will happen will he die from jaw pain?

      He would still have to answer just in a not speaking way so like sign language or pen and paper

    I don't understand people who say that Mordreth will eventually become friends with the main cohort. They can sometimes work together, but there can be no talk of any friendship. He knows Sunny's true name, and it won't be difficult for him to guess who his master is. Nobody knows what's going on in his head. He may try to gain their trust and then kill Neph to become Sunny's master. Neither Neph nor Sunny would ever trust someone like him.

      People confuse shonen with this type of novel... Want the power of friendship. I believe the divine ones are compelled to work together, but not to be friend.

        Shounen ≠ Power of Friendship Not all Shounen are like that Shadow Slave is a shounen I would say, but more on the darker site

        I'd reckon its more seinen due to the darker tone

    It makes me very sad that sunny has been abandoned and orphaned on the outskirts... We don't talk about this much but who the hell is sunny's father?!

    Reply
    • Cypher11 9

      No, not really(the sad part), he is interesting cuz his backstory is typical and small, so I hope he doesn't turn out to be some hidden son of plot Armor, But I am saying. just saying. Maybe it's broken sword

        You acted like you weren't going to cook but that bombshell at the end?? 🤣🔥 True, it would be a pleasant surprise if her father was just a normal guy and her mother really only felt "Inspired" when she named Sunless and Rain 👀

    I don't get people's obsession with sunny being stronger than neph, she is fighter and he is a hunter, if you put them in frontal assualt then obviously she will win, like warrior against assassin, but what if it's a matter of life and death, what if instead of a fight, it's a hunt

      I haven't caught up yet(like 300 chapters behind) but is Nephis 'pound for pound' stronger than Sunny? Cause I thought it was solely due to difference in soul cores. Also the hunter statement doesn't really make sense cause there are warriors(soldiers) that would dominate in a life or death scenario cause this means the Hunter's plan has alteady gone awry. When you said about Hunters being better at hunting, is Sunny better at killing beasts but Nephis is better at killing humans?

        Well it's not really a spoiler, let's take the situation they are currently in at around 300chs, neph should be in odds with the palace lord, neph and sunny come to a realisation that they have to kill the other person, so if there is time, he could just wait out for the perfect time where she is not on guard and kill her, the longer he waits the higher his odds of winning, that's why hunt.

    I just had a crazy (maybe not so much) theory about Mordred. In the most recent chapters where we can see him hiding in the eyes of the mother and son he says that ''the other'' would have liked it. He also says that he hates ''the other'' more than Valor. Now, this ''other'' could very well be Sunny. But I think ''the other'' is per se the ''real Mordred''. Now, to get what I mean just go stand infront of a mirror and lets say, raise your left arm. The image in the mirror did the same thing right (if it didn't, call a pope my friend)? But the image you see in the mirror is NOT what everyone else sees. The reflection you see in the mirror is a REVERSED IMAGE of how you appear to the world. So I think that the Mordred we have rn is just the reflection of the original, his complete and utter opposite. That's why current Mordred hates original Mordred aka "the other" so much. We can only speculate about how this came to be.

      Nah I think the other is his other sentient mordret,I think his ascended aspect let's split personalities or something just like how he splits his cores
