Avoiding Obscene Damages

"I didn't ask for your response. This is merely time for you to listen. Furthermore, I don't think you're foolish enough to utter that word you're thinking about, right?" Valac questioned with a malevolent expression, his grip tightening around Desolim's neck.

Audible cracking sounds could be heard from the site his hand landed upon. In response, Desolim dropped his weapons and clutched Valac's hand, attempting to pry it open. Unfortunately, when it came to strength, it appeared Valac was his superior. A shade of hopelessness appeared in Desolim's eyes.

'How is this possible? I've already used my Reality Manifestation, how is he still stronger than me? Is it possible he is on par with a Heroic Spirit? If that's the case...then what about that other thing I faced? Just what is that?' Desolim thought to himself, a desperate expression on his face.
