Chapter 322: There is a Reason Behind Strength (3)
No matter how much someone built muscle and honed their techniques, it wouldn’t be comparable to even a handful of aura unless they completely mastered their techniques. Even a knight who just learned aura could face a hundred people. The gap between ordinary people and aura users was that great.
Those aura users were slaughtered by three-star knights, and the three-star knights were slaughtered by five-star Masters. Moreover, the ones that could kill even such five-star Masters like ants were seven-star Primes.
There was only one reason such things were possible. Authority. A power that turned the impossible into the possible by materializing one’s will in the world.
Sefira had nearly been annihilated because of a single Prime with Authority. Ghost Face Slayer Cray. His Authority, Seen and Slain, infinitely unleashed attacks upon those who perceived his blade, regardless of distance or numbers.
Even though Sefira didn’t have a Prime, it was guarded by many members of the Order of the Galaxy, the strongest knight order of the family, as well as three or more Master-class knights. However, all of them were powerless before a Prime.
They had escaped disaster because Dudu of the Seven Stars of the North risked his life to buy time, and because the ability user Luke had stepped in. If even one of the two had not been there, they wouldn’t have been able to stop Cray. Then, all of Sefira’s key figures, including Hissop, would have died.
Of course, that didn’t mean a Prime wasn’t invincible. He couldn’t have annihilated all of Sefira alone because Authority wasn’t something that could be used infinitely.
In any case, Authority was essentially the same as granting nation-level power to a single individual. And yet, Keter just said he possessed two such Authorities. It was the first time Daat, who had experienced all kinds of things in Liqueur, had heard of such a possibility.
“Is that even possible?!”
“It seems my Authority from my previous life followed me into this one. So now I have two Authorities.”
“Wow...”
“Right. Admire in the meantime. I’ll be back.”
