Breakthrough!... Venerable rank
Max gulped nervously. "Are you being serious?... You'd do such a thing?"
He found it hard to believe that such a fantastical act was possible.
If it was, why was it that Sages went through such a hard time?
During the period when the Other races lived alongside humans, why didn't they just use this method to overcome the problems most people had with the Art of the Hermit?
But he could tell that Platadoris wasn't lying, so he had to wonder… what was the Ent King going to do that made him so confident?
"Do you doubt my words?" Platadoris inquired.
Max first shook his head before nodding. "It doesn't make any sense that you are capable of such. Thing, yet the Art of the Hermit was abandoned for being too difficult."
"You wonder why I hadn't done it for the other Sages?"
"..In a way, yeah."
"That's because it requires a portion of my true existence to do that."
Max's expression crumpled. "True existence?"
He wasn't knowledgeable about the term but it seemed to carry weight.
