General - Hostile Intent Sensing

Personally, Ainz was not great at sensing hostility from others. Cocytus had been extremely reluctant, but at Ainz’s insistence, the guardian had directed those emotions at his master. There was a sort of…pressure, but Ainz couldn’t really discern from that whether someone wanted to kill him or not.

Perhaps the undead simply weren’t sensitive to these things. As a general rule, they negated psychic effects entirely. He felt it was reasonable to argue that sensing enmity was a form of psychic feedback, after all. But Shalltear seemed to have no trouble detecting it, and Cocytus had said that improving your skills as a warrior would help it become second nature.
