163 Eye of Life and Death

Howard tried to use all his strength to fight Waxel, but it was even harder than fighting Barabin.

With a single fist, he seemed to possess roughly the same fire power as Howard at his maximum strength. In fact, even with Fire King's Last Stand activated, he'd most likely die in a true battle against Waxel. He seemed to be at roughly the strength of Founder Arista, but that didn't make sense. How could he be so strong, and yet be satisfied on such a small mountain?

'He might be the strongest person in all of 1000 Monster Valley, but he seems so humble. What exactly is it about him that I'm sensing. He looks vaguely familiar, and I can't figure out why."

Howard didn't know this yet, but Waxel was actually over 2000 years old, and had been best friends with one of the original Four Guardians. Way back then, he had just been a normal Authoritarian with no future prospects until a human decided to train him.
