One must admit, once able to withstand the Soul Assault of the Forbidden Area for Living Beings, the difficulty of entering the heart of the Forest of Death would decrease significantly. After all, Twisted Souls do not have consciousness of their own and their sense of perception is much lower than that of Upper Rank magical beasts. As long as no accidents occur, one is unlikely to encounter any great danger. However, this is not absolute; after all, one is still within one of the most terrifying forests in all Yarra. If one lets down their guard due to the absence of magical beasts, the likely outcome may well be tragic.
"So what you're saying is, the victim we saw last night, was it because she let her guard down?" Catherine paused, but immediately resumed her original pace, "But that should have happened while countering the lake's anomaly, right? Even if she had not let down her guard, could she really have avoided it?"
