Both groups gradually moved away from the center of the territory, creating enough space for what Morvyr continued to insist would be nothing more than a casual bout.
Noah had accepted the request far more easily than either side expected.
He could already tell that Morvyr was strong. More importantly, the elf said his status was that of being directly below one of the Demon King's generals.
Noah still had no clear understanding of how powerful a general was supposed to be. Even Bolas had been unable to give him a definitive answer.
The drake could only infer that the generals belonged among the strongest beings in the world.
If S-rank monsters represented the height of strength most nations were prepared to confront, then the Demon King's generals could likely be considered SS-rank monsters.
Noah had taken that comparison seriously because Bolas had made certain to emphasize the word monster.
The distinction mattered much more than the other nations were willing to admit.
