Awakened ones might play tricks, but the natives truly charged in.
The two Silver Gladiators of the Crimson Blood Arena—Magic Soldier and Blood Spear—unleashed their ultimate moves once more. One hammered down with a gigantic Ultimate Impact fist, while the other drove a Blood Thorn Spear straight through the body.

The scales on the Naga Leader's body swelled as though filled with water, once again forming an inferior version of the previous Scale Water Shield to forcibly absorb this wave of damage. At the same time, he fixed his gaze on one target—Blood Spear Zenes—and launched a counterattack! Chains of blue Water Element Energy wrapped around Zenes's ankles, preventing him from merging with his spear and dashing away.
The Naga Leader drew a deep breath. The Golden Trident vibrated at high speed, launching thirteen powerful thrusts at the same instant! The threat of death loomed over Zenes. Before his eyes was nothing but the Golden Trident's gleaming edge, every strike carrying real, devastating force. These thirteen thrusts were enough to severely wound Zenes—or even kill him!

If Immortal Incarnation had been described as "immune to damage," it would have triggered a priority judgment against the Naga Leader's attack. The latter had higher priority and could break the damage-immunity mechanic.
But Immortal Incarnation was described as "you will not die"! No matter
