Chapter 410: Special Medicine
Was does it mean to be brave? Is it simply just not being afraid of death? Or is it just deliberate pretense?
No, brave people just don’t want to be cowards.
Even the bravest of warriors are afraid of death, it’s just that they have stuff they fear more than death. They’re afraid of being a complete failure, afraid of losing honor, so they had to continue to fight, to succeed, they had to face their enemies even at the cost of their lives!
“But this black magic weakens their willpower and makes them let go of their obsessions. It amplifies their inner fears and makes them become something that they least want to become.”
Everyone has something they fear most, perhaps something that even they themselves aren’t sure of.

Normal people would become possessed by those fears and it ends up with their personalities changing.
That was what was happening to Caesar.
“So complicated, I don’t get it.” Elena rolled her eyes, “So to put it simply, a person who’s afraid of spiders would think of themselves as one after being infected… and a woman afraid of men might become a crude man, right?”
“Uh… pretty much. The key is their inner fear.” Claire awkwardly nodded her head.
“Humans are really lowly creatures, cowardly and weak, disgusting.”
