demonic attack

Evil spirit's strike

A demonic attack is an assault by evil supernatural forces—demons, devils, or malevolent spirits.

The term belongs primarily to religious and spiritual contexts where believers attribute misfortune, illness, or mental disturbance to demonic influence: She believed her depression was a demonic attack.

The phrase also appears in fantasy games and fiction describing combat with demon enemies.
