Replicus paced around Araeyn for a few dozen minutes, analyzing and dissecting everything about him.
The Apostle's stats, according to what he could see, made him more or less equal to that of a high-end Master Stager with a very high-quality blue core, and even more than that.
In fact, whether or not he was technically stronger didn't matter.
What made Araeyn fearsome in terms of physical strength alone, was the fact that his raw attacks had the same properties that Null Life Essence at its base had.
Genuine Incarnations wouldn't work against even Araeyn's physical attacks. If he got a very good hit in, he could probably start to mess up his opponent's coordination of mana altogether, since Null Life Essence was also very invasive. It could pour into things very easily and most importantly, unnoticed.
It annoyed Replicus more and more how his Apostles were just that good at everything Null Life.
