Though his change was incredible, the Malik inside the projection barely scratched the surface of power.
Nadhir Al-Noor—the Bringer of Light.
The name sounded grand, but in reality, it was the weakest of the weak.
Class-Five, first subrank.
Malik couldn't even intimidate a stray canine.
If he wanted to end Rafiq's little gang without dying in the process, he needed to climb the Divine Hierarchy—fast.
Not once, but twice.
First, he had to become Nadhir Al-Faris, the Guide of the Rukh.
That'd give him enough muscle to comfortably take on the Ahools in the cave, but it still wouldn't be enough.
His goal was Nadhir Al-Saif, the Sword of Guidance—the peak of the fifth major rank.
That's when he'd stop being just a throwaway name on someone's hit list and start being an actual threat.
But getting there wasn't exactly a walk in the park.
