Being able to transform into the Dragon God but not Locke, both essentially involve the Ultimate Transformation Technique. What could cause this discrepancy?
Negris is at a loss. He can't sense any fluctuations from the egg-shaped stone and can't understand the situation Ange describes.
Upon leaving the Temple of Rest and returning to his body, Negris notices Brooks behaving strangely, highly focused and incredibly alert.
"What's wrong?" Negris asks.
Brooks hesitates, then replies, "I sense something, but I don't know what."
This could be a severe problem. The Dragon Clan Chief, the God of Truth and Law, senses something but doesn't know what it is. This means something was able to evade his perception, a truly terrifying prospect. Who could have such ability?
"When?" Negris grows alert.
"Just now, but it's gone now," Brooks explains.
