Rant Valo looked back behind them, and he could swear that he heard a faint scream. He shook his head and thought that it was just his imagination.
"Master Floriana, was all that dark fog earlier actually Darkness Mana?"
Rant Valo asked her in curiosity. It was a question that has been bothering him since earlier.
"Correct, Disciple. It was a very pure one. That's why it wasn't scattering away from this place. Pure mana is very dense, and they tend to stay in one place."
Floriana Sabina explained to him as they continued moving through the swamp water. This time, it was not as cold as before as the sun was already starting to heat it up.
"So you knew from the start?"
Rant Valo couldn't help but guess. If she knew that the mana was very pure, then she should have also known about the coffins inside the shrine.
"I didn't. I only had a hunch. Otherwise, I would have never dared come here with you, Disciple."
