"Although I don't know the principle behind it, it seems he can induce a state similar to poisoning in beings with the essence of ancient artifacts. They won't die, but they will become unconscious and lose all ability to move and perceive the outside world, turning into breathing corpses."
Jiang Lu was startled.
Nodens had said that, in fact, ancient artifacts which were Ancient Embryos would reverse-absorb the energy of the Ancient Dominators, causing them to fall asleep. It was by exploiting this feature that the Ancient Gods had managed to narrowly keep the Ancients out, establishing the delicate balance that exists today.
The state described by the vagabond now seemed to exactly match this.
That is to say, not only can Nyarlathotep be immune to this reverse erosion, but he also has mastered this feature to use for his own purposes?
But...
"Why would he target me? And how do you know he is preparing a weapon to poison me?" Jiang Lu demanded.
