Life And Death

Unfortunately, it seemed that this time, it had met its match. The virus's rampant spread within his body could no longer be curbed by mere strokes of luck.

Jake could see Ulfar's immune system rapidly losing the internal struggle that had started with the warrior's blood-curdling scream. He first suspected that the level of infection had crossed an irreversible threshold, but his opinion changed when he checked his friend's Oracle Status.

Ulfar's luck, whether his Body Luck or corresponding Aether stat, had plummeted into the negatives. The King of Beskyr had lost his guardian angel that had been with him since birth!

Jake had noticed that his own luck had been largely inoperative since he entered the Magnetic Resonator. He attributed this to some sort of countermeasure by the Dungeon Digestor.
