-Even an invincible Ultimate Lifeform was not without weaknesses.
Altrouge Brunestud had always firmly believed that.
So even against Roland, an enemy who toyed with Primate Murder and inspired nothing but despair, she had never given up.
Although she seemed to be doing nothing, she had been observing his form of existence and the information he revealed as she watched.
That was all the more true after the Pale Knight joined the fight and she realized that Roland himself held her chance of survival.

With that invisible concept constantly covering him, he could disregard attacks while maintaining his equilibrium
