But Void Fang worked perfectly, and more importantly, his Devouring ability functioned.
He'd consumed seven nightmare demons so far, each one granting him new resistances or abilities:
[Fear Resistance (Minor)] from the first demon. [Illusion Detection (Weak)] from the second—which had been trying to create false images. [Mental Fortitude (Minor)] from the third, making his mind more resistant to psychological attacks. [Nightmare Resistance (Weak)] from the fourth, reducing the effectiveness of fear-based attacks. [Dream Sense (Basic)] from the fifth, allowing him to better perceive the true nature of this realm. [Shadow Vision] from the sixth, letting him see through the fog more clearly. [Pain Suppression (Minor)] from the seventh, reducing how much the dream wounds hurt.
Each consumption made him stronger, more adapted to this environment. The nightmare demons seemed to sense this and were becoming more cautious, attacking in coordinated groups rather than individually.
