I love how the Esoterist was turned into a "mob character"

Rui not being a simp is the highlight of this chapter

Streak is making his third attempt to make our balls shrivel in fear. This one was effective (The first one was in Rui's apprentice days versus the newly born squire, The second was during the visit to the tribal Island as a squire)

Nephi needs a great grandson/granddaughter to keep herself occupied with, Rael is suffering xd

I imagine it's similar to Xiaxias in the sense that the world kicks you to a "higher plane" after you reach above the highest level. Though it seems they can act consequence free in some rare cases.
