A Sequence 5 Beyonder Characteristic would be a tremendous boon to Danitz, whether he turned it into a Mystical Item or sold it for gold pounds to prepare for his advancement. As a Sequence 7, perhaps he could finally get a little closer to Edwina...
Angel carefully sealed the Ocean Songster Beyonder Characteristic that belonged to her.
She planned to ask the Hanged Man, Alger, whether he wanted to buy it as a main material for his potion. Klein had obtained the corresponding formula and could sell him that too, earning money from him twice.
But Shatas...
Looking at the pair of skeletons, Angel suddenly felt far less eager for gold pounds. With a quiet sigh, she placed the characteristic, sealed in a small box within a Wall of Spirituality, into her suitcase. Then she noticed three dark-red iron pieces lying on the floor at her feet.
Those are... my charms!
Angel immediately recognized the two Calamity charms and the special charm whose purpose she had only just learned, which she had named Betrayal.
So they were left here. When I smeared my blood on The Travels of Grosell and entered the world inside the book, they must have stayed behind... Angel understood at once. She bent down, picked up the Calamity charms, then reached for Betrayal.
Its improvised version had killed a Frost Dragon...
The instant her fingers touched Betrayal, Angel felt what little spirituality she had left pour through her fingertips into the thin iron piece. An indescribable, terrifying aura, as though it had laid her very soul bare, filled the captain's cabin. Everyone turned to look.
She let go at once and took two steps back. Only then did she feel a throbbing pain in her head. Her vision blurred, and indistinct whispers sounded in her ears.
