Daniel clenched his teeth. There was no room left to retreat.
He knew very well that if he didn't decide right now, he wouldn't even have the chance to think.
The presence of that old demon was like an invisible weight pressing down on his soul; a pressure that wasn't mana, and wasn't killing intent, something deeper… something that threatened the core of his existence.
In this situation, hesitation was stupid. His enemy was a Heavenly King, and if he didn't use his trump cards, he literally had no way to get out of here.
"There's no choice…"
He made up his mind.
Self Transcendent.
Even though using this skill meant he would have to pay a heavy price, just like he reasoned earlier—he had no other option. If he didn't use it, he would definitely die here.
But right at that moment, his mind went blank.
There was no physical or spiritual pain, not even a mental attack or anything similar.
Just… emptiness.
