Dana nodded in acceptance. She hadn’t realized that an advancement would have such far-reaching consequences.
Her first thought was to ask Matilda where she was hanging out these days and just got there to advance, but if it was going to cause a huge fight, then they would just be bringing unnecessary trouble to the Chaos Dragon.
Matilda was still protecting this world, even if she wasn’t constantly living here, so they might as well take full advantage of that protection to advance in relative safety.
Relative, as Tribulation Lightning was supposed to be dangerous, no matter how prepared you were.
Most of the Myths who reached Tribulation either died or fled from its wrath and failed to advance, and even they were only a small fraction of all Myths who reached the peak.
Actually succeeding was so rare that Dakkarian likely knew the names of everyone in the world who had succeeded in the last ten thousand years.
"We should probably let everyone know that we’re going to be doing a thing." Karl noted as Dakkarian opened a portal.
"Is the badger asleep? I had assumed that she had updated everyone already."
Karl checked for her, and found that she was currently operating a betting pool on who would advance first, and how many lightning strikes each of them would get during the tribulation.
"You’re right. Never mind. She’s already informed everyone."
The black dragon Avatar laughed. "You’ll understand once you advance. Your Tiny World’s entrance is open, I can tell what’s going on inside without physically looking inside."
"Oh, that will be an interesting ability to have. Karl’s senses are so much more sensitive than mine." Dana realized.
"I’m sure his senses will still be ridiculously overpowered when he advances, given that he can see souls, and in a larger spectrum of light than most species." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"I can see by echolocation as well." Karl added helpfully.
"See what I mean? Trying to blind him is nearly impossible. But with so many ways to perceive the world, it also opens opportunities for deception. Those with the best senses are the least likely to question what their senses tell them." Dakkarian informed them smugly.
"Oh, that must be one of your abilities. After all, hiding from every sense is too much to ask. But masking yourself and letting the target question their own sense is much easier."
Rae made a mental note of that. If that was the best way to hide, then paranoia wasn’t a bug, it was a feature of a successful hunter.
[Until it’s used against you, to make you crazy with fake input.] Opal reminded her.
Right, there was a balance there somewhere.
Becoming the perfect Immortal hunter wasn’t going to be as easy as she had hoped. There were still far too many tricks to learn, using skills that weren’t possible even at the Mythic Rank.
