An Extra’s POV

'What the hell…?'

As Rey stared at the Beast in front of him, he felt a massive surge of fear press upon him.

Even when he activated [Dead Calm], which allowed his previously unfocused mind to become much sharper than usual, he still felt vestiges of fear rush up to him.

'How strong is this thing?!' Rey found himself asking, his thoughts as precise as possible.

Right now, he was the strongest he had ever been. His Stats had reached six digits, and he could feel himself overflowing with so much power.

Yet… for some reason, he still felt inadequate—dwarfed by the creature that stood before him, ready to cut him into pieces.

'Its fast!'

In swift motion, Rey used [Domain Of The Lord] to switch his position from where the scaly monster stood.

But—

~SZZTZZ!~

—He was met with a buzzing interference, followed by a forceful activation of his Skill, which allowed him to switch positions with the furthest zone available.

Just about five meters away from the enemy.

'Again? It's affecting the activation of my Skill that I can't go beyond five meters!'

Rey felt himself growing ever so desperate, clenching his teeth as he glared at the creature in front of him.

'How is this happening? What is going on…?'

From Rey's observation in the short while since he first encountered the Beast, he had observed a few things.

'I can't actively use any Skill below SS-Tier. The energy around is too saturated for the function to be properly activated.'

Of course, Buffs were an exception since they affected his own body. However, if it was a Skill that required some form of external manifestation, they would be rendered invalid before their complete activation.

'I only have 9 Divine Tier Skills, and even those don't seem to be very effective against this thing.'

For one, his [Domain Of The Lord] suffered heavily from the presence of the Beast. His [Divine Ray], while effective against the monster, was something it could evade.
