Nami Village Bell Tower.
Having found Dark, Riko was quite anxious, but she still took a moment to consider her words before asking, "Mr. Dark, if someone destroyed Nami Village, what would happen to you?"
Dark remained unruffled and giggled. "We might disappear completely."
Not might—definitely.
Every Fallen One in Nami Village was a part of Nami Village. If Nami Village were destroyed and the force field protecting them vanished, they too would disperse with the wind and turn into Void.
