The sudden disablement of the slave collars made the weakened monsters faint while the stronger ones regain their egos. All of the stronger ones immediately flared up and attacked the acolytes and the pirates. They may have somewhat gotten their minds clouded but they knew full well how their bodies operated beyond their will.
