Althea was confused.
If the Immortal Slugs were focusing on those who were strong, aiming to take them out first before they could escape, the marquesses or even the empress should be the ones aimed at the most. But instead, Rex was the one soaking up all the attention.
A mere Master Immortal Spirit was deemed more dangerous than the strong nobles.
Something like that should be laughably impossible, but it happened right before her very eyes.
Clearly, the Immortal Slugs sensed something from Rex that nobody could sense.
Danger.
Althea watched closely as Rex clashed against the Immortal Slugs.
His life energy was suppressed, and there's no way of using his Soul Artifacts, but his combat prowess alone was more than enough to match—the Immortal Slugs. Rex was incredibly athletic—every part of his body is a weapon, and his movement was feral, making it hard to predict his flow.
But the most glaring trait that made this possible was his inexhaustible stamina.
