Adam and Silvana hadn't expected to learn about the Monster Nexuses and Returned Monsters during their battle against Sano and Natta.
But this became an important part of understanding who Sano and Natta really were.
"So, in the whole world, you're the only newbies who have the Monster Nexuses? Hah, how hard is it to keep a thing like that under control?" Adam asked, pointing at their weapons.
Sano and Natta exchanged glances as Sano stepped forward.
"Want an honest answer? At first, we almost lost. On our first missions, we weren't used to how dangerous the Dead Lands were or to our new powers as the Phantoms. So, our Nexuses tried to use every moment of our weakness to finish us off and resurrect themselves."
Natta smiled bitterly.
"A few times, Sano's sword bit into her hard, tearing her flesh from her bones. The same thing happened with my gauntlets. However, since we were prepared for this, we were able to take the necessary measures in time and subdue them."
