Ves had managed to come to an accord with the Dark Apostle.
He had made a promise to give up his claim on his own true body.
Suffice to say, he did not do so eagerly.
While he often felt ambivalent about the prowess of his phase lord constitution, he still appreciated its imposing physical might and its impressive spatial affinity.
Giving up such a fantastic body and migrating back to a purely human form represented a massive loss in strength and capabilities.
He would no longer feel as invincible as now. One of the greatest reassurances of possessing the body of a phase lord was that it made him immune to most forms of assassination.
Having been the target of those himself, Ves knew that he could absolutely not take this threat lightly. This was especially the case for a leader and innovator as successful and prominent as himself.
