The players did not know that Kratos had to hunt transcendents to advance.
They only knew that Richard had ordered Kratos. The dark soul eater was a level 19 soldier to fight the transcendent dracon that guarded the obelisk.
"That was a level 20 transcendent! Level 20!"
They were no longer the newbie overlords who had limited access to information.
Levels 4 to 5, 9 to 10, and 14 to 15 could obtain one each time it leveled up.
However, no differences were between levels 19 and 20.
Transcendence was a level that had transformed. Levels 19 and 20 seemed to be only one level apart, but their battle power was worlds apart.
The most direct reaction was that a level 19 hero could only be a pillar in a faction, while a level 20 transcendent could be a big shot.
It was almost impossible for a level 19 transcendent to take on a level 20 transcendent.
The difference in levels was enough to crush any fluke.
