The tattered doll Kortopi saw was Shalnark, or rather, what had once been Shalnark.
In truth, neither Qin Lun nor Rand possessed any skills to manipulate dolls, let alone create a puppet as powerful as Shalnark had been in life. The birth of this “Shalnark” was due to a twist of chance.
On the night Shalnark was captured by Kurapika, Joey had indeed transformed the sunny youth into a Skeletal Angel. To turn Shalnark into his most perfect creation yet, the Dissector had even inserted backup blood bags into his major artery system.
Shalnark’s powerful will didn’t disappoint Joey or the other observer, Rand. The sunny young man remained conscious throughout the entire process of becoming a Skeletal Angel, dying only when most of his vital organs failed.
To Qin Lun’s surprise, upon Shalnark’s death, the Shattered Starry Sky didn’t grant him a Nen Ability like it had with Uvogin. Instead, it solidified into a palm-sized Apostle item.
