That unsettling feeling in Reis's stomach was answered. He should have realised before what it was, but his senses were suppressed by the valley. Death Queen's aura had been slowly increasing all this time. He had thought she might have been charging energy for some attack but he couldn't properly sense what was going on. Now he knew, she was evolving!
The Elite Guard captain had told him about the terrifying power of Transcendents. That they were capable of evolving by absorbing the source energy of others and at rank four they could take a humanoid form. Seeing that she was already speaking before and was also in a humanoid form he had guessed she should have already reached rank four. If that were true then now...
Reis swallowed, knowing that based on the description from the elite squad, even if he wasn't being suppressed by the valley, he would be no match for a rank five Transcendent.
