Finally understanding the nature of Marcus' phasing power, Sato felt a rush of various emotions.
He was angry at himself for not realizing something so simple earlier. His creature appraisal may have said that his opponent was human, but perhaps he should not have put his absolute trust in it.
This may have been the first time he had come across someone with a skill or item that could fake their status rather than just blocking the appraisal, but he should have at least considered the possibility.
Along with his vexation towards his own ineptitude, he was also incredibly bitter that what Marcus said was true.
Manipulating spiritual energy was not an ability he had ever picked up. It was not something that was considered a skill, so he could not obtain it using skill points with his Personal Status unique skill. As powerful as he was, he knew that a lot of it was from using his advantage as a transmigration to pick and choose the best skills for his fighting style.
