9.12.1 Defeated by a weakling.

The place was far deeper than Farhad expected, and the steps of this woman a bit too slow. Mind you, with each breakthrough on the path of transcendence, even if you are not a Knight, your physical attributes will always gain a certain level of boost, which keeps increasing as the higher you grow. With some Archmages, the beings that are considered feeble in front of Knights are able to rival the physique of a Master level Knight. 

This is a physical evolution that exists in everyone, but this woman chose to walk with slow steps in a direction that Farhad couldn't feel. 

'Why waste time?' Wondered Farhad, before he noticed an odd action by this old woman. 

Boom with a step, she disappeared out of nowhere. 'Ho?' It was odd, rarely would there be something capable of hiding from Farhad's senses, but she achieved it in a way that was almost magical in his eyes.
