The Martial Unity

He had been prepared to reassure Kane when the pressure set in, but was surprised when Kane claimed he didn't even feel any pressure.

Rui turned towards the pythons as he observed their body language and demeanor. Given his Fauna Flow technique, he was able to easily read the pythons even if they didn't have any facial expressions whatsoever.

It was clear that none of them were exhibiting any of the behavioral patterns that they would if they felt as though their lives were under threat.

('Neither Kane nor the pythons feel this pressure…?') He frowned, incredibly confused. ('Did they conspire to pull a prank on me, or am I losing my mind?')

He wasn't quite sure why they were unable to sense them.

('Especially pythons they should have a strong sense for survi-') He paused as realization dawned on him. ('It's the Shionel Dungeon's sensory jamming.')

It made sense. However, it wasn't the case that the Shionel Dungeon's sensory jamming traits were jamming the pressure that the Root was exerting on everybody.

No.

Rui often had to remind himself that the pressure that he exerted and experienced wasn't real. It wasn't real in the same way that atmospheric or water pressure was.

It was psychological pressure that the mind experienced when the subconscious evolutionary ability to evaluate risk and danger, evaluated a being to be extremely dangerous. This pressure was not some energy radiated by the dangerous being that traveled through the air and entered the mind. It was pressure generated by the subconscious fear that the mind produced.

However, if the mind was unable to even perceive the existence of the dangerous being and thus unable to evaluate the danger of the being, one's mind would not generate the feat or the pressure.

That was what was happening right now.

Rui was experiencing the pressure because he possessed the ability to actually evaluate the risks and danger that dangerous beings pose to him, the Root, in this case. The inability of the pythons and Kane to sense the Root at all meant they couldn't experience the pressure.
