40th Layer of the Abyss…
"What do you think, Sleipnir?" James asked his horse with a serious expression on his face. "Do you want me to disguise you to look like a Nightmare Horse?"
Sleipnir shook its head. It then neighed a few times as if telling James that it didn't need such a disguise, and for the Old Man to worry more about himself.
As an eight-legged horse, it didn't stand out too much in the Abyss, since most of the Monsters there were unique.
James, on the other hand, stood out like a sore thumb.
The old man was wearing a white robe, and a white wizard hat. Also, he was human. It was simply too hard for James to pretend to be an Abyssal Monster with his get up.
Lux, on the other hand, was playing it safe, and had transformed into an Incubus.
