Shocking, wasn't it? They were few among the goddess races that could match demons in pure physical strength.
Unfortunately, humans were not among them. Yes, humans were a tenacious species, but these hairless monkeys were more known for their persistence than their actual physical strength. While they weren't a weak race, they weren't as powerful as demons.
The difference could be narrowed by ranking up. Reaching a new class always boosted overall power, but demons also experienced that boost. Some classes leaned more in different directions as well: some toward speed, some magic, and some sheer power.
So why was a human able to punch a demon, one who was a whole rank higher, away?
This didn't make sense because Manata was a close-range fighter. He was not physically weak. He was also a whole rank higher than the human.
That was the question everyone watching was asking themselves, but sadly no one really had the answer.
Except maybe Damon got lucky, and the demon held back.
