While the farmers didn't immediately notice that something was off, the same was not true of Leafa. The instant that the skill advanced to Monarch Rank, before the Naga Warriors had even finished growing, she had realized what had happened.
What she couldn't understand was how.
None of the biological group members were close to the boundary for Monarch Rank, much less past it. But the skill was very obviously advanced by a Rank, just as the Void Badger's [Disintegration] was.
The obvious answer was that Karl had done something, but she hadn't sensed him doing anything. If he had a skill that could bump up a skill's power by a rank for the duration of a battle, the Haint Overlord wanted to know it.
If she could make her [Soul Steal] advance to the Totem Rank even for a short duration, she would become one of the peak powers on the continent.
