Nathan had used that to his advantage.
His growing mastery over the Astral Sea had also allowed him to identify those who possessed knowledge of Carrion, as well as anyone capable of relaying that discovery beyond Krygon Province.
One by one, those individuals disappeared.
Nathan ensured that every possible route through which news of Carrion could reach the Demon King was quietly severed.
It was only after securing that secrecy that he began the second phase of his plan.
