Capítulo 158: Quick Conclusion, The Healer Steps Up

'So much for a challenge.'

Lara might have declared the second group's need for challenge, but she still did her job as a supervisor, releasing some sort of repressive Aura that stopped the monsters from making the first attack.

'It seems like that at least.'

Although Damian himself couldn't really sense it, the way monsters acted made it look like there were invisible shackles holding them in place. They wanted to charge, but their bodies wouldn't listen to them.

In addition, both Norn and Lana looked at Lara as if they could tell what she was doing. From the looks of it, not feeling the Dimensional Energy Pressure wasn't just a coincidence, Damian's senses didn't perceive the same thing.

'In any case…'

Naturally, Lara's act wasn't a form of charity. The very first monster encounter was always considered the most difficult. While they did need to experience it in its most raw form, a slow introduction was needed at first.
