Everyone here is a battle-tested Condenser, having witnessed countless deaths, traversed the lands piled with corpses and foul blood, and endured the washes of fear.
The fear induced by the Face of Horror rarely completely dominates one's will; it serves more as a momentary impact.
In high-intensity combat with mental tension, sudden fear can greatly affect the opponent's actions.
The duration of fear is very brief, possibly not even lasting a few seconds before the opponent regains clarity, but in a life-and-death struggle, many things can change in those brief seconds.
During their first encounter, when Fast attempted to strangle Bologue, Bologue used the Face of Horror to shock Fast's mind, causing a brief lapse in his control over Secret Energy.
Now, Bologue applied the fear shock to Fast once again, but this time the effect was considerably weakened, which is normal as they have fought several times, maintaining a high level of mental concentration.
