Everyone realized in terror that a dreadful enemy—the Hypnotic Sound Demon—had appeared! The demon transformed into a gigantic conch shell, continuously emitting spine-chilling Hypnotic Sound Waves that enveloped everyone like an invisible force. Before this powerful Hypnotic Sound, the Divine Bell's sound waves were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely drowned out and utterly useless. Even the supposedly invincible Divine Sword could not unleash its proper power because everyone had lost the ability to move.
