Third Person's POV
It had worked.
The human's consciousness had clearly been disrupted.
Its blades were already almost upon him.
But then—Ethan's seemingly unstable body suddenly dropped.
He did not fall backward or sideways along the direction of his blade, but down.
His body folded beneath the twin blades with an almost unnatural flexibility, his chest nearly brushing against the ground as the two bone blades swept over him.
The demon's expression changed.
The glassy look in Ethan's eyes vanished.
His body, which had appeared completely unstable a moment ago, suddenly became perfectly controlled.
He had deceived it.
Ethan had deliberately allowed his movements to become erratic after sensing something interfere with his consciousness.
Rather than resisting the strange mental attack, he allowed it to seep into the deep silver sea inside his consciousness, fooling the demon into believing that his attack had succeeded since it encountered no resistance.
