Chapter 151: Holy Power (2)
“Oh?” Ketal’s eyes lit up. “So, you’re talking about the current Tower Master?”
“That’s right,” Rakuza replied. “There is only one Mage Tower, and he has always been its eternal owner. He’s an extremely ancient Hero.”
Ketal let out a low whistle. “You’re telling me he single-handedly took down four demons on Lubitra’s level, all at once?”
Rakuza nodded. “Those records have been cross-referenced, so it’s unlikely to be a lie.”
“That’s impressive,” Ketal said, purely in admiration.
Overcoming four demons that were the same strength as Lubitra alone was impossible for anyone lacking immense power, especially for a mage.
Priests could at least claim an advantage against evil, and warriors were generally better in large-scale battles. Despite that inherent disadvantage, the Tower Master still emerged victorious. It must have taken an overwhelmingly powerful force to achieve such a feat.
He must be strong, Ketal thought, recalling the Tower Master’s strength from their battle against Nano. He had seen only a fragment of that power and felt a sudden pang of regret.
I should have asked him to spar properly with me at least once, Ketal thought. He wondered just how strong one of the world’s mightiest Heroes really was. Clicking his tongue, he regretted not testing his mettle further.
Something Rakuza mentioned caused Ketal to frown in thought. After a moment, he asked Rakuza, “Okay, I understand that a Hero can overpower a demon like Lubitra. But why, then, were humans so thoroughly toyed with before the gods intervened?”
Before the ancient Divine-Demonic War, this world belonged to demons, and until the gods came to humanity’s aid, people were nothing more than playthings for demons.
“Were there no Heroes back then?” Ketal asked him.
