At that moment, Henry King couldn't help but feel a genuine smile beginning to spread across his face as the tactical implications of the demon's arrogant challenge became clear in his mind, because he suddenly realized that this overconfident monster had just presented him with the kind of opportunity that no experienced warrior would ever pass up.Yes, Henry King was fully aware that under normal combat circumstances, the monster would probably be able to evade or significantly reduce the impact of his strongest attack through defensive techniques, supernatural speed, or energy barriers that could deflect or absorb much of the incoming damage.It was entirely possible that even his most devastating technique might not affect such a high-level demon that much under ordinary fighting conditions, where the creature would be free to use every advantage and defensive capability at its disposal.But one thing that Henry King was absolutely, completely certain of, based on decades of comba

Without needing anyone to explain the supernatural mechanics to him, Henry King instinctively understood that Rose should have been able to stand up immediately now that the monster had been defeated and presumably killed by his ultimate technique.This was basic knowledge about how demonic powers worked - when a monster died or was rendered unconscious, all of their active supernatural abilities would automatically cease to function, releasing anyone who had been trapped or controlled by those forces.The gravitational restraint that the demon had used to force Rose into that helpless kneeling position should have completely disappeared already, allowing her to regain control of her own body and movement the instant his spiritual energy was cut off.But the disturbing reality was that Rose was still trapped in that exact same kneeling posture, unable to move even a single muscle despite the apparent defeat of her captor.And from careful observation of her body language and the strai

At that moment of crushing realization, everyone present in the destroyed room began expressing their complete shock and disbelief at what they had just witnessed, their voices overlapping in a cacophony of desperate confusion.“What the hell just happened here?” Sebastian shouted, his military training struggling to process the impossible reality before them.“How the hell did absolutely nothing manage to touch him?” William added, his voice cracking with the strain of trying to understand something that defied all logic and combat experience.“There was no penetration, no damage, no effect whatsoever!” another voice called out in bewilderment.“What the hell is going on with this monster?” someone else demanded, their words carrying the weight of growing panic.“How is all of this literally possible?” Sebastian continued, his analytical mind racing through possibilities and finding no rational explanation for what they had observed.“What the hell kind of creature are we dealing wit

At that moment, as the crushing spiritual pressure continued to weigh down on Henry King's consciousness and his analytical mind processed all the evidence before him, everything suddenly started making perfect sense in a way that filled him with absolute terror.He started realizing with crystal clarity that the invulnerability he had witnessed must be the exact reason why his devastating attacks had been completely ineffective against this creature.Definitely, if they had been facing a normal Level 20 monster operating under its own power and limitations, at least his ultimate Beast Flame Fire Level 8 technique should have literally penetrated the creature's defenses and caused significant damage.His attack absolutely should have worked against any standard high-level demon, should have at minimum given the monster severe injuries that would have created tactical opportunities for follow-up strikes or escape attempts.But now, with this new understanding of external control and po

At that moment, the first shocking realization that struck everyone watching was the fact that Alex had just successfully managed to literally move through the supposedly impenetrable territory prison and carry little Lily away from her bound position.That was when everybody present in the room became literally overwhelmed with surprise and confusion, their minds struggling to process what they had just witnessed.They didn't quite understand what was going on or what supernatural ability Alex possessed that allowed him to defy the monster's overwhelming power.They didn't quite comprehend how he had been able to accomplish something that should have been absolutely impossible under the demon's crushing spiritual pressure.Nobody should have been able to move even a single muscle within this territory zone that the monster had literally created and maintained with his overwhelming aura.Nobody should have been capable of walking, running, or performing any physical action within the
