"Damn... The White family's methods are really strange indeed," he thought.
Leonard Churchill speculated that there must be some sort of parasitic trick that allowed Vivian to survive.
But seeing her made him realize!
"It's the White family that's stealing those Fear Threads, isn't it?"
Leonard remembered that Elder Clinton had said in the underground palace that the entire White family inherited the occupational ability of the Spade 10 - God Stealer pathway, walking the path of God Theft.
At the time, the little snake that Vivian transformed into wanted to steal the residual Divine Power from the statue of the Ancient God.
It's not far-fetched for them to now be absorbing Fear based Mental Power.
