Chapter 493 – Dusk

The entire room fell silent as Nick finished his story of finding the Nightmare.

"Helia?" the Champion of Light asked lightly.

"I did not detect any falsehood," she said. "I can also feel that his Zephyx Synchronizer is attuned to the Nightmare. At least partially."

The young man scratched his chin as he fell into thought. "A corpse, you say?"

"Yes," Nick nodded. "The Nightmare looked like a human corpse unaffected by time. Its ability also stopped working as soon as I reached its domain, even though it was still dark."

"I can also tell that it did not sense me," Nick said.

"Explain," the Left Arm asked.

Nick's expression became uncomfortable, and he looked at the Champion of Light.
