Sylas reached out a hand. However, just as his telekinesis was about to make a move, he felt a strong resistance- the kind that came from more than just another Will. It felt like there was a barrier of worlds separating himself and Moose. Despite the fact he could clearly see the latter, it was like he wasn't really within reach at all.
A short distance that felt like miles upon miles, an endless gap that couldn't be crossed. One that was protecting the man maybe more than he knew.
Moose had grown even more since the last time Sylas had seen him. He was already a behemoth of a man, towering and imposing, even more so than Kael. But now, he stood taller than even a Trakar. Though he lacked the extra set of arms, he was easily eight or so meters tall, a brick wall of muscle rippling in every which direction.
Yet, this tank of a man was very clearly solemn at this moment. He knew of the gap between himself and Sylas.
[Moose (???)]
[Level: 50]
[Physical: 222,377][Mental: 222,803][Will: 222,387]
All things considered, stats like this shouldn't appear on a Level 50 from Earth. However, what the stats reflected and Moose's actual strength were vastly different matters.
As a Demonic Envoy, Moose couldn't access his full strength in the Real World. At best, his performance was at about half of what his stats dictated. ππΏπππ ππππ¨πππ.ππ π
To make matters worse, he was facing the Progenitor of the world he was attempting to gain a foothold in, so his stats were about another half weaker than even that.
You could slash his stats to about a quarter of what they were now to get a more accurate reflection of the strength he could muster.
He was almost certainly wearing Demonic Treasures to make up for this matter, but unless they were on the level of Cassarae's armor set, it wouldn't make much of a difference to Sylas at all. And considering the sheer fear radiating from Moose, it didn't take a genius to figure out he had no such thing.
Yet, he was protected by a wall that was quite literally formed of another world.
What Sylas didn't exactly understand just yet was why he was both here and yet not...
'What is a Demonic Envoy?' Sylas directly asked his Pride Madness Key.
Surprisingly, it cost Sylas just a single Common Gene to receive the answer to this question, whereas he could feel quite clearly that asking the Gluttony Madness Key would have gotten him penalized into oblivion.
He was fairly certain that this was the perk of being a full-fledged Madness Disciple.
[What is a Demonic Envoy?]
[A Demonic Envoy is a herald of the Demon World, usually a creature or humanoid of the Real World capable of utilizing Demon Aether to level up. They act as a foothold into the Real World for the Demon World, corrupting systems and forming bridges that more substantive Demons can step through.] [They are usually separated into tiers, not just dependent on their strength, but the quality of Demonic talent that they can replicate.] [These beings are usually very secretive, as revealing their own identities will often lead to death. However, because they tend to level and grow at a much faster rate than others, they are threats many never see coming.] β
It was a comprehensive and quite full response. Sylas found it almost therapeutic that he didn't have to scratch and claw for such answers anymore.
