'That thing is definitely cursed, right?'

The quickest of the descending monsters were eviscerated, and soon, a rain of corpses fell on the iron net.

Strangely, these thoughts succeeded in calming Kai down. He only regretted that the cute scoundrel wasn't close by to reassure him in person.

Instead, Effie was made out of something far more resilient.

The only person who could have stayed nonchalant in this situation was probably Doofus. That pale miscreant was either too crazy or too stupid… or both… to be scared of anything. But he was currently nowhere to be seen. Effie sort of missed the tiny menace.

"Which means that, in just two years, more than half of us perished. People die all the time in the Dark City, you see. The castle may seem safe, but actually, the Host is constantly bleeding people.

"You are ready to lay your life down for the highest Heaven's goal. Yet, you are ready to break the rules it has established now? Look at how hypocritical and childish you're acting right now," Gravis said with a sneer.

So, after Gravis activated his Lightning Fork for the first time, he sent one body to search for materials with the fungus. When that body found materials, it would directly forge with them to get more experience. On top of that, he was getting some nice stuff out of these materials.
