At first, Angel did not understand what it meant to be immune to almost all mental interference. Only after Sanders explained did he grasp the crux of it.
Immunity to mental interference meant Rolando could not be hypnotized, no marks could be planted within his consciousness, and naturally, he could not be refined into a puppet.
Moreover, Rolando's personality was even madder than the insane Yurika.
He feared no punishment, as though that shell of a body did not belong to him. During torture, Rolando felt no pain. Instead, he stood by with a sinister, wicked smile, provoking and goading Xius with words, trying to make Xius kill him.
Yet killing him would bring even less controllable consequences, so Xius could only endure.
But Rolando's words seemed to possess magic. Every time, they struck precisely at the places Xius found hardest to bear. Several times, Xius had nearly attacked him. Fortunately, Sanders had been nearby, or Rolando's schemes would already have succeeded.
"This personality of his is almost completely without flaw. If he were a little stronger, it would not be excessive to call him the Guman King's sharpest swift blade." Sanders held Rolando's second personality in extremely high regard.
Such a terrifying personality usually lurked beneath an outward appearance of utter normality, hidden among the teeming masses. No one could discover it, no one could probe it. But once it truly revealed itself, Rolando seemed to don a suit of steel armor—armor woven from mutual destruction, the refusal to live without descending into madness, and thorns of malice.
No one could pierce through that armor to the soft body beneath.
Only by utterly destroying him could the armor's purpose be brought to an end.
Perhaps that was why the Guman King had chosen Rolando... The power of Crimson Sovereignty
