This was because, aside from humans, the Demon Race possessed no chakras.
And the function of "energy" was essentially no different from the effects of certain enhancement spells.
In other words, it could only be used to strengthen the body.
The human body had seven chakras. These seven chakras were seven points where energy gathered, each governing different organs and systems within the body.

A sufficiently powerful "presence" could even produce an effect similar to dragon's might, suppressing groups of targets with weak mental strength!
Even so.
The spread of "energy" merely allowed humanity to barely hold out against the Demon Race's fierce assaults.
Its limitations were immense, and it still fell far short of magic.

Furthermore, at only fourteen years old, he had already followed his father in exterminating quite a number of extremists. Among the
