Ghaster successfully escaped again and hid on top of a tree. His position high up in the trees afforded him the opportunity to see his pursuers rushing around below. They ran around looking for him on the forest floor. None of the looked up so they failed to find him and eventually dispersed.
This time, Ghaster grumbled inwardly instead of making noise. He said, "There's something fishy going on here."
The blow to his pride aside. Ghatser is mostly perplexed rather than ashamed. He can't figure out how Soverick did the things he did no matter how much he thinks about it. It is not only that he can't do what Soverick did. He can't come up with a possible reason or explanation for why Soverick is so ahead. So he is lacking both in brawn and in brains.
If it is any consolation, he is not the only one that thinks there's something out of place with Soverick's performance. There are a lot of people who can't make heads or tails of why he is so strong.
