Goburus watched with amusement as Chris approached him arrogantly. However, as Chris drew closer, an inexplicable sensation washed over him.
Fear gripped Chris's body, rendering him motionless and sending chills down his spine. Panic surged within him as he desperately tried to regain control, but his limbs remained frozen.
"Am I actually scared of this green garbage? This is nonsense! What the heck is happening to my body?!" Chris wondered in disbelief.
The distance between Chris and Goburus remained, with Goburus stopping his advance. The Soul Reaper Goblin, sensing Chris's fear, suppressed his intimidating aura, causing Chris's body to regain its mobility.
The sudden relief allowed Chris to move once more, and he dismissed his previous fear as mere exhaustion. "Oh, I can move again. It must have been fatigue that temporarily hindered me. Me? Scared of this goblin? No f*cking way," Chris blindly convinced himself as he continued his approach.
