It has always been the primal instinct of a prey to freeze to assess the situation and escape in fear.
Animals, insects, monsters—every living thing has the same primal instinct of flight or fight.
But what separates predator from prey is the order of their instincts. Prey flight first and fight only when cornered, while predator bared their fangs and claws first to fight and only consider flight when victory is no longer possible or too costly to bear.
Intelligent living beings have methods to go around that primal rule, but it's hard for their bodies to lie.
Even a trained prey could never show a perfect response as a natural predator would.
And right now, in the face of ten Awakened Demigods, the natural instincts for anyone should be to find a way to escape. Farhan had been in this situation before and knew that most of the reaction should be fear and panic.
Only those who have no intention to live would not feel anything.
