Rex's heart was still pounding from what happened earlier.
It was the first time the Absolute Anger Effect had failed to block an attack.
Normally, the automatic block would stop everything—whether he saw the attack coming or not. Blind spots, ambushes, killing intent he couldn't perceive—none of it mattered. It blocked them all. Not this one, it seemed.
Mayla has a trump card, and it was actually tied to a God.
Because of this incident, Rex learned that there was a limit to the Absolute Anger Effect.
And it's good to know now rather than later.
Since he knew the Highseat of Invincibility was incredibly strong—aimed by entities that treated Gods as nothing more than someone who can be killed, he relied on the Absolute Anger Effect too much.
Though he could survive earlier even without the Absolute Anger Effect, he couldn't deny that fact.
Even so, the sneak attack she did still infuriated Rex again.
Bam—!
