Wald XVIII's expression had just turned fierce, but was abruptly pressed on pause.
His facial expression gradually froze into one of astonishment.
Bloodline suppression?

But the next moment, he discovered that his spiritual power seemed stuck in a swamp, struggling to flow, more akin to wandering lost within a maze.
Wald XVIII immediately realized what was happening.
It was the opponent's spiritual power interfering with his!
And only exceptionally precise spiritual power control could achieve this level of interference without causing harm, because only then — he couldn't take the chance to retaliate with damage!
