As soon as Gabriel stepped inside the Forbidden Hall, a mysterious force pushed him down to his knees. For some reason, he couldn't even offer any resistance to the force that pushed him down. The force was way beyond his limit.
He could even feet as if his bones were being crushed under that pressure which was now trying to force his head to the ground to bow down.

At the moment, he didn't care about attacking. If anything, he wanted to at least have some time to react.
