Ian's attention quickly returned to East City, the core region of the Justice Clan.
His Perception "focused" on the deepest part of the clan's Secret Vault, where a "thing" was wrapped in layer upon layer of powerful seals.
A palm-sized Crystal Box, its surface covered in the sealing patterns laid down by Elder Darcy.
Ian's Perception easily penetrated the seals, seeing clearly what was inside.
This "parchment scroll" was, in essence, a fragment of constantly writhing flesh, emitting waves of decay and Chaos.
Information instantly surfaced in his consciousness. This Pollution Source was completely identical in origin to the Abyssal pollution inside Titus Justice.
It lay quietly within the seal, yet it was like a malignant tumor, a fuse.
Ian's Perception enveloped the Pollution Source. Following the extremely faint traces of a Rule, he traced it back to its deeper origins and saw a blurry image.
