"Living darkness... moving metal..."
Hagry's weak and fearful description echoed in Roland's mind.
'Living darkness... that probably refers to some unknown, strangely-formed Demon. And "moving metal" must be the Magical Guide Structures...'
The thought didn't fill Roland with much fear.
If they were just ordinary Demons—as long as they weren't terrifying beings comparable to the legendary Ancient Giant Dragons—he was confident his current strength was more than enough to handle them.
As for the Magical Guide Structures...
His past experience in the Magic City Jiles had already proven that those mechanical creations, eroded by time and operating on only basic directives, posed a limited threat individually to a true Extraordinary Professional.
They relied on nothing more than their vast numbers, tireless assaults, and death-defying nature.
But even a tide like that hadn't posed a real threat to Graham.
And Roland's current strength far surpassed Graham's at the time.
