Kapitel 615: Discourse Of Corruption

Nether, depending on how used, had various effects on people.

'But it usually leads to death, right? I don't understand…'

The Netherlore had been conducting experiments on Nether for something similar—harnessing the power for themselves.

The fact that Stefan also manifested the power made it plausible that certain people were clinging onto the forbidden abilities offered by Nether.

'But I didn't sense anything like that from Vaizer!'

He had been using Mana throughout, and even Maro's testimony tallied with that. If he could utilize Nether, he would have done so already.

That made it all the more confusing.

A reasonable explanation would be that the Nether Cult found a way to make Nether manifest from Vaizer remotely. In that case, he was never safe from them.

'Even though I set up the perfect stage… damnit.'

"I'm sorry, Maro, Asa. Even though you went out of your way to capture a specimen for me… I let him slip away."

'No. This isn't the time to let this drag me down.'
