Ae'zard went completely silent. Just what was giving this man so much confidence?

He hadn't deemed it necessary before because he felt that it was beneath him, but now that he heard Magnus speak, he wasn't so completely sure again.

Ae'zard turned his gaze downward and scrutinized Atticus thoroughly, and not even a nanosecond passed before one of his eyebrows unknowingly moved upward.

A grin appeared on Ae'zard's face. "No wonder you're being so careful, old friend. You've finally found your apex, huh?"

The perception of a paragon was hard for even grandmaster ranks to fathom, especially when it came to members of Ae'zard's race.

The Aeonians.

Unlike the bone race, the Aeonians were a race of people who were mystical and elusive.

They were thoroughly focused on knowledge and the pursuit of the unknown. However, every single race in Eldoralth knew better than to underestimate them.
