Parcy and the group talk, and he notices that Clad looks similar to a woman he knows and wonders if he knows a guy named Theo Silvereign, which he does.
!!
"Just as I thought!"
"What is your relationship with him?" He asked him.
"Relationship?" Clad question in confusion.
"Not like that, like...are you guys friends, coworkers, related?"
"Were not friends or coworkers or related, and I only know that he's a silvereign."
"I met him during a meeting of a faction. There was a 3v3 mock battle between factions, and he was one of my opponents."
"You fought him?" Parcy asked him with curiosity.
"Yeah."
"And how did that go?"
"..."
Clad stayed silent, but Parcy could already tell the answer, as even he, the 12th pillar, had difficulty fighting Theo, and if it wasn't for his not being really interested in adventuring, he would have definitely been one of the 20 pillars, and most certainly above him in rankings.
"It's fine to lose against him."
"Even I have a hard time with that monster."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"He's noticeably stronger than all his other siblings, to the point that you would believe he was blessed by multiple gods or something," Parcy said as he laughed nervously.
"Not that his siblings aren't strong, but he's just in a league of his own."
"I see..."
"So the gap between us is that big, huh?" Clad thought as Parcy asked him about what he was planning to do next.
Clad says he was looking to hunt down a Quetz. Parcy tells him that they would need to go to a more open part of the dungeon realm for that.
"Quetz are monsters that aren't small, so they wouldn't be able to navigate in such a dense forest.
"But before you hunt that thing, we should go back up and report this incident," Parcy adds, which Clad agrees to.
