Roger sensed an unusual mental fluctuation from the eyes of the woman before him.
This was a Transcendent, and her strength seemed considerable.
So the first thing he considered was that the man must have offended someone he should not have.
"Contract, they?"
Roger was somewhat puzzled.
"Are there other Transcendent Beings on this ship?"
The woman shook her head.
"Just a Cursed Item, which can only affect ordinary people."
"Cursed Item... Is it something that has drifted from the Cursed Land?"
"Somewhat similar, yet completely different."
"My name is Goway, a Secret Blood Witch."
The woman held her head high, introducing herself.
"Roger, a Demon Hunter."
"Hmm."
Goway nodded indifferently.
"There's a guy on the ship who got hold of a Cursed Item. He deceived others and signed a contract with this thing using their blood."
"He wanted to use this thing to control others, and those who wouldn't behave naturally had to be dealt with."
Goway explained a few sentences.
