Before this improvement to his bloodline and swordsmanship, Arthur, who possessed the [Thunder Mark], could already face an "Ascendant," in a sense.
Moreover, given the [Thunder Mark]'s properties, as long as he was not killed instantly, Arthur could escape even if he could not win.
However, the flashing of [Death Intuition] told Arthur that death still loomed.
In other words, that tentacle could very well kill Arthur instantly.
For that reason, Arthur, cautious as he already was, had become even more cautious.
Even while keeping watch, he had been extremely careful.
But this time was different.
The instant the sudden change occurred, Arthur's [Death Intuition] did not flash.
And it was not just [Death Intuition].
There was also...
[Spirituality]!
Previously, when [Death Intuition] had flashed, Arthur's [Spirituality] had practically boiled, making him uncomfortable.
This time, however, his [Spirituality] was as calm as it was on an ordinary day.
That gave Arthur a little confidence.
He tried continuing to observe.
From glancing out of the corner of his eye to staring directly, he experienced nothing unusual.
This prompted Arthur to check his newly improved bloodline and swordsmanship.
Arthur's gaze moved back and forth between the descriptions of his bloodline and swordsmanship.
Finally, the young "Medium" fixed his gaze on one particular sentence-
"You have also gained a trace of 'divine might.' When facing the 'manifested spirituality' of other step-entries, you can use this trace of 'divine might' to crush it!"
Reading that sentence, Arthur did not picture himself crushing other "step-entries."
Instead, he recalled how that tentacle had crushed him using a similar method.
Clearly, this trace of "divine might" was the key!
Is this fellow... hmm, are these two fellows like Sithidal?
Arthur instinctively thought of Sithidal, who was revered as the "God of the Inland Sea."
Miha, Yilo?
