Dist was a Sequence 2 Angel, a Weather Warlock of the Red Priest pathway.
Moving underground posed no obstacle to him at all.
Even the reinforced sections of the old Trier City Hall were like thin paper before an Angel.
Tony Thorne followed close behind him, also moving through without hindrance.

Tony Thorne immediately understood.
Bestowing demigod-level power? How could anyone dare do that!
Perhaps the power of a demigod didn't amount to much to a Sequence 1, but high-sequence Beyonders still
