Once, when things were getting tough for him to handle, Lex had spent a tremendous amount of MP to hire guards for the Midnight Inn, since the mercenaries were running short of hands. Thus, he had acquired many unique and odd guards, ranging from humans to Devils, Angels, Marzu, Dragons, Celestials, and a bunch of other races Lex had never seen before.
However, among them there was one guard that particularly stood out: he didn't have a distinct body shape or appearance, instead appearing like a living, breathing, evolving nightmare.
He was the personification of fear, and caused an instinctive feeling of revulsion upon sight. Yet, Lex realised, it was not his fault. Rather, it was he was the victim of an incredibly powerful curse the likes of which Lex had never witnessed before. The fact that, even at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm, he suffered from such a powerful curse revealed just how powerful the curse really was.
