Leech couldn't think of anyone besides Prince Hoffman who possessed the ability to control lightning.
Furthermore, only someone with the power to casually annihilate a monster of the Beyond Transcendent level could single-handedly pacify a chaotic era and force the unruly nobles and tribes of Giant's Foot to submit to one rule.
He also understood why the Prince had insisted on bringing him here to witness this battle firsthand.
It was a clear message: he couldn't afford the consequences of welshing on his deal. He'd taken the benefits, so now he had to focus on delivering the grain.
And Leech truly couldn't afford it. He had won a few battles, that was true, but he wasn't arrogant enough to compare himself to the whole of Giant's Foot. In fact, Leech strongly suspected that even the Water Nymph would have been blown to bits by that spear.
'So there are huge gaps in power, even among those Beyond Transcendent.'
