But no, this wasn't why he was numb, nor did he feel close to death.
Rather… watching Sylas make quick work of a Dungeon, both he and Aria had to be so cautious it made him feel like he was living in a fairy tale.
He was almost certain that Sylas had to be in the top ten. He couldn't think of any other explanation.
Brant thought that he had done well for himself in these past months, and the system had even judged him to be in the FF Grade. But he always felt waves of awe when he saw the people on that list.
Even the weakest of them was two Levels above him.
He knew how hard it was to progress in this world. Even finding creatures above Level 1 meant travelling deep into territories infested with high concentrations of Aether, ones where beast hoards reigned supreme and killing just one would lead to a deluge of danger.
He couldn't even understand how those monsters had made it to Level 9 in such a short time…
But seeing Sylas now, he thought he finally understood.
They weren't human at all, they really were every bit the monsters he thought they were.
Sylas made such short work of the minions that it seemed he never exchanged more than three fists with them before they collapsed. In fact, he even seemed to be holding back for the sake of refining his battle style.
When he came across BOSSes, this was made all the more obvious. Brant thought he was watching some sort of action martial arts movie. Sylas could blast a hole through a beast from meters away without even breaking a sweat.
He would toy with them, using them as sparring partners as though they weren't beasts that looming three meters above him. He shrugged off their attempts at freezing his body and mind, then when he felt he had gotten enough out of them, he would shred them to pieces with his bare hands.
He never seemed to tire, his Aether pool seemed endless, and Brant didn't see him use an Elixir even once.
It didn't even make sense. How could a person blaze through a whole Dungeon without needing to recover their Aether?
How could he know that after Sylas' Intelligence had increased, Maddened Enlightenment had actually scaled up with it? When Madness was fused with it, it still took Sylas just five minutes to recover all 20 Aether Units he now had.
By the time Brant witnessed the fall of the seventh BOSS, how could he not be entirely numb?
As for Sylas, his mind was on other things.
