Moreover, the mental coercion that the monster put everyone through didn't allow anyone to truly think. The fear was so heightened that even the most prepared and most chiselled individuals would have faltered upon feeling that much fear at the same time. It had the ability to heighten the fear that one felt and it took pleasure in seeing its targets afraid and in tears.
Even Kyouko felt that it was quite a sick monster.
The huge face began to close in towards Kyouko just as it had done with the S rank man with her.
Kyouko had witnessed the sight earlier so she knew what was coming for her. When you knew the magnitude of the threat but the timing was uncertain, that was when one felt the true horror. The waiting was the most difficult part and the monster especially tried to move as slowly as possible when it was about to devour its victim. It wanted the target to experience the fear in its most primitive and heightened form.
