Sylas walked through the third and second ranked in a bit of a daze, his mind roaming elsewhere. He consumed and learned from the next two challenges that appeared, but his thoughts just felt like they were in another world, another stratosphere.
He was starting to feel like this was probably why it was so difficult to ascend to higher levels of Rune Creation.
All things being equal, Sylas didn't actually think that reaching his current level was actually all that hard in the first place. He had virtually no guidance, and certainly no other Rune Masters to learn from on the Mortal Plane, and yet he had still managed to reach this stage in under two years.
He didn't just make it to the F-tier either, but all the way to the D-tier.
When he looked at things like that, it was hard to say that things had been "difficult".
