The aura of the five settled down and they opened their eyes. Now that they had passed the threshold, the world of Faust had reduced its suppression on them for having stats that were far beyond their stage. because even though they have Grandmaster level stats, they could even use Adept level spells.
All spells and tricks they had used in that previous battle were at the Intermediate stage maximum, yet they still managed to clinch victory!
So how the hell did they manage to win? The lads did not know, and truthfully Darius didn't either.
You seriously didn't think he had expected a bunch of 5 Journeyman with Grandmaster level stats who had only been seriously training for around 2 years to beat 100 Grandmasters each whose life had to be counted in centuries and millennia, did you?
