Lance, observing the battle from the periphery, noticed something – the tentacle summoning seemed not unlike Alhazred's move.
But unlike Alhazred, who was cautious with his spellcasting and needed to stabilize his Spiritual Essence afterward, this Heretic Priest seemed to unleash it instantly and with much more ease.
In some respects, this Heretic Priest appeared to be even stronger than Alhazred!
Only Lance, with his extraordinary inspiration, could recognize this – in reality, their schools of magic were entirely different.
Alhazred used ritual constructions to create illusory tentacles, and his caution was a basic quality of a Transcendent.
Whereas this Heretic Priest was actually summoning power from the Void – a privilege that seemed to be open to her without fear of backlash, thanks to the Old Ancestor's modification.
Simply put, one was a Spell, and the other, Divine Arts.
