By spreading his aura across a vast area around himself, he became capable of striking any target the moment it entered his domain.
This…
Was the power of those who had reached the higher ranks.
Having Asterion with us raised everyone's morale tremendously.
His strength was simply overwhelming.
According to the plan we had prepared, he and Jackson would eliminate most of the weaker monsters along the way.
That allowed the rest of us to preserve our strength for the battles that actually mattered.
But they would not handle every Saint-rank enemy or anything above that.
Asterion could not afford to waste even a small amount of unnecessary strength before fighting the Golden Dawn Knight.
The same logic applied to Jackson.
As for the giant Hunter—
He had effectively become our guide inside the Cathedral.
He had already entered this place once before alongside the Hunters of the old generation.
"We're almost there."
