Easy, she's gonna eventually find out about his flaw and have to do a double take thinking about all the "utter nonsense" he's told her in the past now that she's gonna know that it's all true.

Yay!

I assume that is supposed to be *serpentine steel

and how did he know?

because they've been in so many they are now completely deaf and have very little feeling left and so can't tell that an explosion is occurring anymore unless they see it.

This story started out quite well. The later chapters though are not edited as well and the author starts to repeat sentences changing up the wording slightly for no apparent reason aside from maybe to increase his word count. If you can get past these issues, the story itself is rather enjoyable.

This is the first memory he chooses to share with someone he's trying to gain the trust of?

see, I knew the emperor wasn't human.

Also, since the shell was from nether, he might still get skin. Also, since weaver was depicted as a spider he might get one that gives him extra limbs that he won't have to manifest. I figure one though will be his eye.

based on the animation, it looks like he would have cut his own foot off if that had been real.

I think that is the case. I think that was said previously, but I am not entirely sure.

I'm pretty sure that the reason it's entirely covered in shadow is because he released the fragment of Shadow God's Domain there.

I can't wait for Rain to find out that her "teacher" can't lie.

Anyone know what's going on with either the author or the story?

Try Shadow Slave if you haven't talready. It's another great story that's still going.

Ananke explained the steps up to Saint if I remember correctly.

I'm thinking he may be trying to get her to remember him, or at least make it so she won't forget him again.

*sigh

I'm wondering if Sunny will end up adding his weaving to his battle style. I mean, those essence strands are ridiculously sharp, and invisible to most people.
