Angor stopped meditating when seeing Fafnirs return, only to see her looking at the wall where he left a message earlier.

Usually, only those from Phantom Island should be able to decrypt the message. Though the trick was pointless against someone as powerful as Fafnir, who could read what was hidden behind the nightmare energy with ease. This was why Angor did not write anything beyond what was necessary. He knew Fafnir would see it.

Fafnir didnt say anything about the message other than letting out a cold sneer.

The monster leg was now thoroughly cooked while the fat in it was giving out fizzing sounds appealingly.

Angor didnt know that kind of monster meat it was, though he felt his mouth watering up badly when looking at Fafnir munching on it to her hearts content.

He quickly looked away. Asking food from an Abyssal Dragon was a bad idea. But he could no longer forget the good smell of the delicious material.

He wondered what kind of divine cuisine he could see if Greya were here.

In order not to appear too embarrassing, he tried distracting himself by thinking about other matters, such as what kind of monster Fafnir just killed.

Speaking of food, Fafnir just told him that everything in the Abyss was dangerous. He might digest misfortune by eating.

There was something fishy about that phrase, and he just noticed.

Just like Fafnir mentioned, he ran into a lot of demons during his stay in the Abyss. As for eating, he had been surviving on Milkberry Tree sap and moocher meat he stored in the bracelet.

Unless shes referring to Toby?

Toby did eat a lot of native food since coming here, including those tentacled crabs in the Shaded Cave.

Dont tell me a crab had the curse, then Toby ate it??

A bit startled by the idea, Angor waited for Fafnir to finish the roasted leg before asking the question.

Fafnir seemed content with her filled stomach and answered him without a second thought, That is correct. The Pilgrim of Misfortune is staying at the bottom of the Veiled Sea. Nearby monsters, including some crabs, are all contaminated by the curse.

That must be how Toby got the curse then. Damn it

This thing is like a highly-contagious disease! And people cant easily detect it!

To make it worse, these Orlovs Tentacled Crabs were a valuable cooking material used by Gourmets, according to Sunders. If they were served on food plates

That one crab killed by the union guards the other day would probably end up as food and be delivered to other bases established around the Abyss Plane. It would be disastrous if the curse silently spread among people without them knowing it.

Angor couldnt imagine what would happen at this rate. He now fully understood why the Pilgrim of Misfortune was feared by both powerful wizards and demons alike.

He saw a lot of wizards hunting the attacking crab back at the Overwatch Base. If so many people held the root of the curse

Thinking about this, he quickly went to the message on the wall to add something new.

This time, he did not use nightmare energy to conceal it. He hoped that a wizard would see it and warn the other wizards as fast as possible.

He didnt care about the fates of other wizards. But at the very least, he would like to help Kanter and Madelyne avoid the curse.

The hypocritical nature of humans is never pleasant to look at, Fafnir commented after seeing his action.

Angor didnt say anything. He did what he could.

Time to go.

Without any forewarning, Fafnirs body grew bigger until she resumed the giant and ferocious form of an Abyssal Dragon.

After lifting Angor up by catching his collar with a claw, she dived into the gloomy sky, leaving some glowing embers and a shining stone wall behind.

Sunders arrived at Reins wizard tower and saw Rein already waiting.

Like always, Reins room was full of crystal balls of different sizes. Right now, Rein was waiting in front of a larger one affixed to the floor.

Instead of accepting Reins invitation and taking a seat right away, Sunders gazed at a wet corner and carefully listened to the lingering sounds of water tides.

Mister God of Seas recently visited?

That wasnt a question. Sunders was sure of it.

And since Rein left the traces here instead of cleaning them up, it meant Reinwantedhim to see it.

The plane fusion nearby failed in the last phase. People are restless. Flunza sent an avatar to discuss with me, said Rein. He mentioned your name today, by the way.

My name? Sunders didnt look amused. He thinks Im responsible for the failed fusion?

Rumors only, since you know, you returned at the exact wrong time. Though only apprentices will take these rumors seriously.

You would care about what apprentices say? Sunders chuckled.

If Rein mentioned this matter, these rumors must have been spread to lots of people. And they were not entirely wrong, since both failed plane fusions had Sunders teleporting nearby.

Wizards should know that he had no way of controlling the outcome of plane fusions. Though this wouldnt prevent them from seeing him as a bringer of bad luck.

Sunders would not complain because he would probably do the same, if he werent the one being blamed.

Enough of rumors and whatnot. Rein continued, Take a guess. Why did Flunza talk about you?

Is it because of Angor, by any chance?
