The true power of the fifth rank…
Haha…
I actually thought I was strong enough to rival the city leaders…
What foolishness…
The gap between us is absolutely enormous.
Perhaps I forgot…
Or simply overlooked it…
The difference between ranks isn't merely doubled.
A second-rank master wasn't merely twice as strong as a first-rank master…
They were many times stronger.
The same applied to the remaining ranks.
A fifth-rank master didn't merely possess double the strength of a fourth-rank master…
They possessed strength vastly beyond that.
I never should have ignored something like this.
"Have you never seen a fifth-rank master before?"
The White-Eyed Master's voice interrupted my thoughts.
I returned to reality.
This wasn't the time for shock and foolishness.
Things were far harder…
Far more complicated than I'd imagined.
"Not in these numbers," I replied.
My gaze shifted back toward the masters.
They had begun descending.
The crowd around the tables parted.
