The Binding Oath was set.
Gorock grumbled. Perhaps at the notion that he would live paralyzed for three months.
Despite that, his eyes softened ever so slightly, at the notion that he was going to live, at the very least.
"The owner of the scythe is an individual by the name of Gurney," Gorock started speaking.
"I've never seen him, and I don't even know if that's his real name. I wrote to him through a proxy, and that was only when he contacted me first."
"What proxy?" Liam asked, interested.
"A glob of slime with an eye inside."
Liam's eyes widened slightly. So that's what that thing was… a proxy. He still had no clue whether or not it was a living thing and not just some masterfully made puppet.
"Why did he contact you?" Liam asked.
Gorock shrugged with his face. "I don't know. I suppose it was after I killed a Rank 5 Ocean Reaper, which probably sparked his interest in me."
