Looking at Maeve's card, Elliot fell into a momentary daze.
After all this time since transmigrating, he finally had his first middle-rank believer.
Among Supernatural people, the gap between each minor rank was not particularly large, but the difference between low rank and middle rank was a qualitative change.
For instance, although Vanessa was now at the third rank and possessed many formidable abilities, a bullet could still kill her. Her physical constitution was not much stronger than an ordinary person's.
During the assassination at the Theater, Vanessa had faced a completely unprepared middle-rank Supernatural person, yet even emptying her gun had failed to kill them. In the end, she had only barely managed it by using up all her fingers with the Formless Art.
Flora was another example. The first time Miss Elegy fought at full strength, Elliot had been utterly dumbfounded.
She really could smash a hole through a brick wall. If she wanted, she could easily tear down a house with her bare hands.
And that was only incomplete middle-rank power. Maeve had been considered powerful even among the low ranks. What would she be like at middle rank?
Elliot's heart stirred.
But he did not rush to open the point allocation interface. Instead, he checked the history first.
Sure enough, it displayed the prerequisite for advancement.
[Devour Supernatural people of similar paths: 1327/1]
"Victoria was right. Her path really does require her to eat a Supernatural person of the [Recovery] category... wait!"
Elliot suddenly froze. He flipped back to that entry and looked at the final count:
1327/1
That "1" should have been the required number. In other words, it should initially have read [Devour Supernatural people of similar paths: 0/1]. Eating just one would have fulfilled it.
Then what did 1327 mean?
