Book 16 Chapter 4: Part 2
Mister XXX knew who Shin was.
He probably knew about Shin’s fighting style and prowess too. There was no way to tell if Hellscream had acquired this information, but Shin attacked as if it did.
Shin attacked in a way that, even if the monster didn’t react, it would only be damaged, not sliced in two; as the monster dodged, Shin continued as planned and activated a skill.
“【Cure All】”.
Shin cast the highest level healing spell, which could heal even unique status ailments, on the Hellscream.
【Mirage Step】required the user to touch the ground, so looking at the user’s feet could reveal which direction it would dodge to. A way to counter it was to make the opponent dodge on purpose, then *place* an attack in the position it was expected to move to. Shin tried it and succeeded.
Golden light enveloped the Hellscream.
In the case of normal 【Possession】, the possessed and the possessor would have been separated after a few seconds.
The Hellscream, however, did not even flinch because of the light and attacked Shin instead.
