"What--what did you just say?"
"That Toyennes is still alive."
For both of them, Toyennes was a nightmare and a shadow, a fact that was more evident in Pearney's reaction.
Pearney took several deep breaths to calm the fluttering in her heart.
"Are you saying that he became a magic pet?"
"It's very likely."
"That's just perfect, I'll slaughter him if I run into him," Pearney suddenly came to a realization, her complexion changing again, "Did you mean to say that the curse mark's increase in power last month was because he was nearby?"
Ivan nodded solemnly.
The power of the Curse of Demon's Resentment couldn't increase without reason, and Toyennes was indeed capable of transmitting the power of the curse through the air to them, whether deliberately or not, since the curse marks on their arms were a secondary imprint of his.
"Damn bastard, how can he be so lucky to be alive," Pearney cursed in annoyance.
