They quietly stared at Seo Yuhui, who was completely frozen stiff, and Seol Jihu, who was unable to close his eyes.

“Where is he?”

Then suddenly, a cold voice broke the silence.

Having succeeded in destroying all of the Nests, the Star of Avarice had arrived using teleportation.

“There should be a valiant Warrior right around here.”

The people present merely looked back at him, not answering his question.

He wasn’t the type of person who couldn’t read the atmosphere. Noticing the heavy silence in the area, he quietly stepped forward.

To Seol Jihu.

But when he saw the state the young man was in, he furrowed his brows.

“It’s… far worse than I thought.”

Setting aside everything else, just looking at the cracks on his skin sent a shiver down his spine. It was like he was looking at a once rich farmland that had gone arid from a long drought.

‘Wait.’

After carefully examining Seol Jihu’s condition, his eyebrows wiggled.

‘Are these traces of Awakening Skills…?’

From the powerful energy he was sensing, he could tell that the young man had used a high-class technique. Kneeling next to Seol Jihu, the Executor of Avaritia grabbed the young man’s arm.

The moment he carefully poured in some mana…

“Uk!”

His eyes shot open.

“Uwaaaaah!”

He then screamed in terror, pulling his arms back, before losing balance and falling on his butt.

“Uuuk! Uweeeeek—”

He even vomited. Soon, he grabbed his trembling hand, then stared at Seol Jihu like he was looking at a monster.

The Executor of Avaritia was someone at the top of the path of Magicians. Naturally, he was very sensitive when it came to mana.

He had attempted to check the young man’s internal condition but ended up being shocked speechless by what he sensed.

Just by mixing a tiny bit of mana into the young man’s body, a terrifying energy raged, storming into his body and shaking his insides.

“H-He’s insane…!”

His face distorted as he panted...
