Information about Death Sinks was fairly common knowledge, especially among those who had awakened Aether and aspired to become Devil Hunters.
It was widely understood that Death Sinks never appeared in densely populated areas—particularly not in places where powerful warriors gathered. Locations such as academies or the Great Hall had never once experienced such phenomena, and there was a clear reason behind it.
It all came down to energy.
Strong warriors who awakened skills naturally possessed far more positive energy than ordinary civilians, who only carried the bare minimum required to survive. That surplus of positive energy acted as a deterrent, suppressing the conditions necessary for a Death Sink to form.
Because of this, the probability of a Death Sink manifesting near such locations was considered virtually nonexistent.
That was why what Guinevere had just revealed shattered their understanding.
"An army camp?" Kevin asked, his brows knitting together in disbelief.
