One would have thought that the chaos had nothing to do with Theron. He wasn't considering what was happening to the Mandate Guild right now; he was focused on the orb in his hand as the Alpha surged ahead.
The pace the Alpha was moving at was much more like an elite at the Sixth Resonance. Though it wasn't as fast as a Wind Mancer, it had to be remembered that the Alpha was technically a Flux Mancer that could boost all of its physical attributes.
That was to say that in terms of power, raw speed, and agility, the Alpha was in a tier all its own.
In terms of the mid-tier, it wouldn't be a far stretch to say that it was amongst the fastest Sixth Resonance Mancers.
When Theron was on his way here, it took weeks. This was because he was just a Water Mancer, and he had the inner armor weighing him down. Scholar McIntyre had to slow to his pace, seemingly because he was more interested in testing Theron's limits than just hauling him over his shoulder.
