Even if the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon's Soul Strength is higher than its target's, it must still satisfy two conditions to control the target using its Exclusive Trait, Moon Gaze Lock.
The first is a basic condition: the target must expose its Soul Core to the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon.
The second condition is that it takes time for the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon to control the target's Soul Core, so it must be ensured that the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon is not killed in the process.
To complete the Contract, both of these conditions are indispensable!
The Exclusive Trait that the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon obtained upon advancing to Silver Quality, Heavy Eyes Replacement, is a utility-type Ability.
However, activating this function requires sacrificing a Moon Eyes Flower that has blossomed from the Hundred-Eyed Moon Demon.
For other Deceit Holders, this would be completely intolerable.
Deceit Holders treasure the Moon Eyes Flowers from a Moon Eyes Bellflower more than their own lives.
