Well, yep, he was right about that not being a good thing, that's for sure. Ew.

Though he doesn't waste any time in grabbing Eiji in a tighter hold and taking back to the air. The phantom is less than pleased at having her victim stolen away, and lashes out, and it takes all Ankh has to try to get them both away without getting wrapped up in the tendrils again or letting Eiji get badly burned now that he's back to being human and has no protection. He succeeds, but it's a struggle, and by the time he manages to find somewhere away from the horde of monsters to land, he's a bit worn out. He only hopes they're sufficiently sheltered to not have other monsters to deal with any time soon.
