Stepping beyond the door, Aether stopped as Lilith stepped to his side.
Freedom chuckled. "That's the last boss... It's not that strong... just a Seeker Demon."
...
'What!'
Aether instantly turned his head towards Lilith. "Are you serious? And they expect the students to beat this thing?"
Awakened that have reached the Seeker rank are meant to kill other Seekers, but at the same time, rank mattered a lot; it made them much stronger.
And an example of this could be from when he was a Reader: the Orc king and one of the little creatures that he had trained Kael with. Both Readers, yet one was a fragment and the other a Titan.
Sure, while this one was only a Demon, and not a damn Titan, it still mattered. He was only able to kill the Orc because he had Kael and Lucien with him, and even then, he only won because of a trick with Erosion, and it was also night. He had barely won then.
