The pressure wasn't only heavy. Its seemingly unstoppable power came from the deep meanings flowing inside it.

Noah and Alexander had an easier time understanding those meanings. They were extremely powerful specimens that stood at the peak of their respective fields, so they could recognize the similarities in that influence.

Noah didn't forget about his time as a human. He recalled his envy and interest in the magical beasts and the process that had eventually brought him to his current state.
