Sometimes, people's perceptions can flip multiple times in a very short span of time.
Before defeating the Soul-sucking Ghost, Dal thought it must be a rare and powerful being among the Abyss Forces.
But after defeating the Soul-sucking Ghost and unlocking its introduction in the Hunting Manual, his impression of it completely flipped—it was just mass-produced infantry.
Although he still felt the Soul-sucking Ghosts were strong, their coolness factor had significantly decreased.
However, when he encountered a whole squad of Soul-sucking Ghosts efficiently slaughtering the Gollums and the Gollum Elder and then charging at him with blood-red eyes...
Dal thought the Soul-sucking Ghosts were ridiculously badass!
It felt like the boss at the end of the previous level had suddenly become a common mob in the next, an overwhelming presence indeed.
