Challenges and Difficulties Coming All at Once

Immanuel Sanchez's expression soured. 

He was adamant that Braydon Neal should refrain from invoking the funeral song again; the repercussions of such a forbidden technique were simply too dreadful.

"There are six demon camps on the other side," he stated gravely. "Each camp is guarded by a spiritual entity. There are over a hundred nirvana-level entities, more than a thousand path-returning beings, and upwards of ten thousand eternal beings. Their combined forces exceed five hundred million troops.

"If the funeral song is unleashed, they will undoubtedly risk everything."

Immanuel's words carried undeniable logic. 

Should the funeral song resound, the demons would inevitably descend into frenzied combat, pursuing Braydon to the bitter end. 

Death was a certainty either way; his only slim chance lay in preemptively striking down Braydon.

The demons' reaction was entirely foreseeable.
