It was another transparent figure, suffering from the exact same severe ethereal degradation Kharzan had exhibited at the very beginning.
Another lost soul trapped within the labyrinth, dispersed and flickering erratically, standing perfectly still at the far end of the fleshy purple hallway.
Waiting, or perhaps entirely lost, or most likely a tragic combination of both.
The figure was Hagen…
Klein was not very familiar with the man. It was merely a name he had heard in passing, and a face he could not quite place within any of the stories about him that had been told, mostly because official Vanguard reports rarely included detailed portraits.
And Hagen didn't utter his name either.
Nevertheless, finding someone completely unknown to a commander of Klein's standing, someone who possessed a Gold-tier beast yet remained entirely unrecognizable to him, strongly implied the ghost was an original inhabitant of Yino.
