The decaying property of the curse energy did not have an instant effect. Instead, it slowly stuck to the target and spread like a disease from that point. In another word, the curse energy had a powerful D.O.T (damage over time).
It can decay through anything given the time. So what was a mana armour in front of it?
As Giz-Bozo was exposed to droves of curse energy coming out of Simon, the quality of his mana slowly degraded from within and Simon was able to easily pierce through his [Mana Aura].
'Not Good' feeling the danger, the beastly instinct of the ogre kicked in and he hurriedly moved his body aside. Although he was able to dodge the claw, nonetheless, some part of his skin still made contact with the curse energy.
Giz-Bozo opened up a good distance between him and the demon before staring at him cautiously. This was the first time that he had met someone who did not break or cut through his mana armour but instead melt it down.
