Chapter -6 - Imperial Archives: The Fog of War

It's a surprise to no one that if you take out the captain of a ship, everything goes to hell. This same logic could also apply to binders and their monsters. If you take out the binder, then the majimonsters should be easy pickings, right? Wrong, and that's thanks to the Fog of War.

For inexplicable reasons when binders battle each other with their monsters, nothing seems to affect them. That isn't to say they're invincible or anything, rather their senses and reactions become heightened to the point of being able to avoid anything and everything non-magical, while the massive area-of-effect techniques that majimonsters can perform seem to be blocked by some magical force . This effect also applies to battle with wild majimonsters. Additionally, the majimonsters themselves will ignore any outside interference except for their opponents or any invading majimonsters.

That is to say however, it's not merely a mental thing either. Bystanders have noticed that as the monsters battle, a strange haze seems to form around them and they swear they could see wisps of light winking in and out of existence. Whether it's due to the captivating sight or some magical phenomenon, people can't help but pause. This in turn made it impossible for outsider humans to interfere in the battle. Even when blindfolded, something about the majimonsters battling forces them to not interfere.

This effect has been termed as the "Fog of War".
