Although the Wizard had limited knowledge of ritual studies, he at least possessed some common sense.
Even though he had become a silver tier in just two months, the Wizard was genuinely a silver tier—he indeed had a Condensed Soul.
In order to harm him with a curse, at the very least, the more ordinary rituals would be ineffective.
Ascending the soul's tier brought about absolute transcendental resistance.
At silver tier, even when facing a spell from a bronze tier, he would not be so fragile… However, the converse is also true; if the ability had nothing to do with transcendental power, the resistance would become meaningless.
—Just like "Shaper Jude," who had his head blown off by an arrow from Defu.
That was a veritable physical attack, which did not fall within the scope of spell resistance.
If Defu had used her transcendental ability as a Hunter—that is, activated her lock-opening ability to make the arrow incessantly track his body, then Jude could have deflected it.
