Much like Legends and Myths, Epics had a degree of authority relating to a sure aspect of the world because of their nice understanding of it. Nevertheless, not like Legends, who had partial authority because of that understanding, and Myths, who had full authority, the extent of authority that Epics had because of their understanding may very well be stated as nothing substantial when in comparison with the previous two.
If the extent of authority the three had have been interpreted in numbers, Myths would get the quantity 100, whereas Legends would have a quantity that spanned between 5 and 25, exhibiting that there was a ton of enchancment one might hope to attain even after turning into a Legend. Nonetheless, even a Legend with the bottom quantity in that vary might thrash any peak Rank 5, even a number of of them without delay because of them nonetheless being partly supported by the world.
Now, one may marvel at this level: what quantity would characterize the extent of authority an Epic had over the aspect of the world they vastly understood? Whereas pondering over this query, one can be inclined to suppose that it might be represented by the number one on the very least.
Nevertheless, the scope of their authority Epics had weren’t even anyplace close to reaching that quantity.
Among the many Epics, the worst amongst them would have their degree of authority be represented by the quantity 0.01. Then again, the strongest amongst them can be represented by the quantity 0.5, precisely 10 instances smaller than what even the weakest Legend might attain.
Then once more, that illustration wasn’t with out good purpose.
In any case, not like Legends, who have been undoubtedly on the peak of Rank 5, and Myths, who had damaged via to the following rank…
Epics might seem as early as Rank 3. There was no want for them to even attain the height of Rank 3 to develop into one, not like turning into a Legend.
In fact, all three of them relied on immense quantities of comprehension relating to a sure aspect, might that aspect be a tangible idea or not. Nevertheless, the extent of comprehension they’ve attained would dictate what degree of authority they’d.
For Epics, the understanding they’d relating to a sure aspect solely allowed them to type an Intent, which was really thought of the start line for anybody who wished to develop into a Legend, and ultimately a Fable. In actual fact, an excellent portion of individuals on the Rank 5 can be thought of Epics because of them having already comprehended their very own Intent, with some even comprehending two or extra of them without delay.
Then once more, the one factor that was stopping them from turning into a Legend was their understanding of that Intent.
After one deepened their understanding of the Intent they’d shaped, in addition to the sure aspect they’d chosen, the Intent would evolve and bear a qualitative transformation into what was known as a Power. And if one have been to go one step additional and push their Power to its limits?
They might be capable of ascend to Rank 6 and develop into a Fable as their Power…
Naturally transforms right into a Idea.
‘Though I’ve already met with Riekan, who’s a Legend, it is nonetheless shocking that I’ve already come throughout an Epic and a Legend though I have not reached the height of Rank 1 but.’ Curious as to how the scenario would now prove as soon as Braum had revealed himself as an Epic, Valyr remained silent as he awaited Lucas’ response with an inward smile. ‘Then once more, I am going to embark that path in some unspecified time in the future as properly.’
‘I’ve to, anyway.’
‘Valyr even has connections to an Epic?! Come on!’ Being the one who took many of the brunt of the strain from Braum and the others, Lucas felt the connection Braum with the world one of the best, prompting his expression to develop into unpleasant as he swiftly got here to a conclusion. Though he nonetheless wished to detain Valyr in an effort to make sure that no extra slip-ups would occur sooner or later…
He needed to give Valyr to the person or else he would undoubtedly die!
Gritting his enamel, Lucas checked out Braum with an apologetic smile earlier than attempting to talk amidst the strain weighing down on him. “You… can have him…”
“Took you lengthy sufficient.”
Whoosh!
On the very prompt Lucas had stated these phrases to Braum, the latter swiftly retracted the aura he had been giving off all this time, with the 4 behind him following go well with not lengthy after. Although the present scenario now appeared as if nothing had occurred within the first place, everybody there nonetheless remained silent, telling themselves they’d simply witnessed one thing particular.
“Let’s depart.” Sending an order to the 4 that had accompanied him, Braum moved nearer to Valyr and prolonged a hand to the latter, his demeanor extra mild than how he was whereas interacting with Lucas.
Nodding in response, Valyr adopted the group of 5 as they made their approach out of the coliseum, with Arcenne and Wells tagging alongside behind them as a number of questions they wished to ask Valyr now lingered of their thoughts. By the point Valyr and the others had disappeared from the coliseum, the viewers erupted into cheers as soon as extra, celebrating the victory Valyr had achieved in opposition to Leron earlier than the entire incident.
Amidst the viewers’s cheers, Lucas took in a number of deep breaths earlier than waking up the unconscious guards that surrounded Valyr earlier one after the other, with all of them briefly shuddering in worry as they puzzled if Braum was nonetheless in entrance of him.
Rapidly discovering out that Braum was nowhere to be discovered, the guards checked out Lucas, who gave them the order that they have been to go away the coliseum at this prompt and return to their standard duties.
Briefly glancing on the limbless and headless corpse that remained on the battleground all through all the incident, he let loose a low sigh earlier than turning round, making his approach in the direction of one of many gates because the guards adopted behind him.
Whereas making his approach out, fury began to bubble up inside him, recalling how ineffective he felt in entrance of an Epic like Braum. Nevertheless, for the reason that disparity in energy between the 2 of them merely couldn’t be made up for inside mere moments, he redirected this rage to a different individual as a substitute, the person who knew way over what he ought to know, in addition to the one who introduced in somebody who humiliated him in entrance of hundreds of individuals.
“This is not over, Valyr,” muttered Lucas.
“Irrespective of how lengthy it takes… I am going to discover a option to get again at you.”
