"Foolish Abomination!"

A deep and calm voice resounded right beside Ban's ear.

Even though he was underwater, he could not help but think that the voice came from the surface. There was no obstruction from the water at all, it seems that the voice came directly inside his head. 

And not only him, when the voice resounded, it seemed that the frog also heard it. The bubble formation was halted right after the deep voice was heard. 

At the same time, Ban felt all of his energy seeping out of his body. His consciousness started to fall, and in just a short moment, Ban could no longer see anything other than blackness.

At the same time, two silhouettes suddenly formed right behind Ban. The two silhouettes were the 'friends' that the System mentioned before. 

Unlike the previous time, they were more lifelike and had more dimension. They no longer look as if they were only a shadow.
