Even with the courage to strike at demons, the awe for the unknown realm he harbored made himself an "prey" in the authority of the other, or rather, a Believer.
Because he feared his attacks would be ineffective, the attacks were certain to fail...
This was a trap Bai E himself hardly noticed.
So... should he hypnotize himself?
The Lord of Fear gave Bai E no time to think.
Any impulsive emotions required a continuous onslaught of facts; once humans had time to think calmly, their so-called "wisdom," "morality"... would allow them to gradually slip from control.
With feet like bird's claws, he stepped down from the throne of bones, the exposed blood-red muscle without skin emitted a strong scent of blood.
Bai E cautiously retreated.
Not knowing what the adversary wanted to do, not knowing his mode of attack...
Every unknown brought panic, and worse still, Bai E, despite being mentally alert to these points, was unable to control his descent into the confusion of the unknown.
