The fake Edward was lying.
The condition to activate his skill has already been met!
Before Val could react, Edward's bloodline ability activated. An icy chill washed over Val, causing his skin to prickle with goosebumps. The world around him fell into an eerie silence as though he had been plunged into a deep abyss. The surrounding chaos disappeared. The train beneath his feet and his enemy also disappeared. He found himself in a desolate hand.
However, nothing else happened.
Because of his unique trait, Val, The unfeeling, had no fears to speak of!
An illusion that existed to show one's nightmare couldn't exist without a purpose.
Since there was no nightmare to be shown, it shattered in an instant.
As a result, Val found himself back on top of the train.
'The skill didn't affect me as Edward had anticipated!' he grinned internally.
However, outwardly, he acted as if he was trapped in a horrifying nightmare.
