All of Them Are Dead

[Shuoyue Calendar, December 19, 320,

The little Dwarf Wizard didn't know that the most terrifying thing about a Masquerade Ball wasn't taking off your mask,

but wanting to take it off and being unable to.

The first half of the ball had already left him exhausted,

and the second half would be enough to make him utterly surrender.

When the guests began to leave,

dying in the middle of the stage was his final point of pride.]

Stewart would die!

When Thor had used the Diary to foresee Stewart's death, he had naturally seen the worst possible outcome for him.

But what surprised Thor was that this worst-case scenario didn't require any special conditions to come to pass.

The Masquerade Ball clearly referred to disguise, and the Diary meant that if Stewart disguised himself on any day in the future, he would die on the spot!

The ball in the Masquerade Ball must refer to some important occasion.

An important occasion...

What could be more important than the Black Tide striking the Eternal Night Coast?

"Could the Diary mean that this Black Tide will be so dangerous that even a powerful Tier 3 Wizard like Stewart won't survive?"

"Stewart is imitating Wizard Ailuo, so he must have been standing in the middle of the 'stage' under Ailuo's identity. He wanted to leave but couldn't, and so he'll die in the end. Then where did Wizard Ailuo go? Could he die in this Black Tide attack, too?"

Thor tried again to foresee Wizard Ailuo's death, but the Diary showed no response.

He didn't know whether that was because Wizard Ailuo was a powerful Tier 4 Wizard who simply wouldn't die in this Black Tide, or because Thor had too little connection with him for the Diary to detect his death line.
