After hearing Gawain's words, everyone was shocked. "Eternal Sleepers?!"
This was completely outside of their expectation. Even the normally composed Heidi had nearly dropped her magic staff. She glared at the dead mercenary leader and said, "This mercenary is actually the disguise of an Eternal Sleepers' follower?!"
"No, he was merely a springboard for the Eternal Sleeper." Gawain rubbed his brows and spoke about the information he obtained from the heretic. "This fellow probably had an unfortunate nightmare some time ago while the powerful Eternal Sleepers' heretic made use of the nightmare to leave a marker in his consciousness. As such, he became a one-time 'carrier', allowing that heretic to rapidly 'arrive' when required."
The bizarre incident caused Amber to have goosebumps as she said, "Why does this evil cult heretic sound even more evil than the Oblivion Association?!"
