This mission had been triggered back on Blue Star.
More than half a year had passed since then, and now, at last, he had utterly slain his archenemy, the Flesh Dominator.

[Old Days Flesh Core] [Category]: Cursed object [Appearance]: An irregular sphere that seemed to writhe eternally. [Rank]: ??? [Description]: A condensed substance containing the flesh information of all the Old Gods who died in battle. Filled with ancient resentment and hatred, it is the essence the Flesh Dominator condensed over countless years. Once integrated as Bio-Armor, it grants absolute control over flesh.

The Shadows of the Old Days will haunt you, constantly subjecting you to forced SAN-loss checks. [Skill Enhancement Scroll (+10)] [Appearance]: A glittering scroll. [Description]: Grants one large-scale enhancement and advancement of your abilities. This scroll is also the most effective of all scrolls of the same grade.
