"Holy shit... This is crazy." Jake gawked at the apocalyptic sight.
A galactic vortex began to glow behind his pupils as he activated his Myrtharian Eyes and every movement, energy, aetheric and spiritual fluctuation on the battlefield was captured by his eyes.
His brain stoically received and analyzed the mass of incoming data, with Xi processing and crystallizing any details he might have missed. A few seconds later, Jake exhaled deeply, his face a model of pessimism.
'Lodunvals is lost, but there are still some survivors.'
Three kilometers to the east, atop a hill, several hundred Wengol Protectoral Guards were guarding their great head general like rabid tigers. Their level was still a notch above that of Urzul and his elite brigade, and their ferocity was matched only by the rabid hatred they had for their former brothers who had turned Undead and were currently attacking them in droves of thousands.
Some of these natives may seem far too powerful compared to the Players. This was the case with Gerulf in the first Ordeal, the Zhorion Kali and Hakkrasha in the second Ordeal, Sigmar, his son and Minerva in the Third Ordeal and now the general of the Wengol army and those fighting against the two people Jake just saved
As such, they are not meant to be defeated. If a Player like Jake is careful, he is not supposed to be trapped in a fight to the death against them.
However, you'll notice that with repeated excellent performances in past Ordeals, those who can threaten him are becoming increasingly scarce. At the beginning of the first Ordeal, not to mention Gerulf, any slightly skilled Myrmidian legionnaire could take him on. Now it's only the elite at the top.
This is not to say that his Ordeals will ever be easy, but if he can continue to outperform at every Ordeal, the day will come when he will be invincible in these events, but his ability to get a high Ordeal Rating will become more complicated. At that point, however, the stakes will be elsewhere.
