Well, keep in mind that Shalltear is not actually damaged.

The strike is a sundering attack on one of her natural weapons, which only managed to inflict a purely cosmetic effect with no functional degradation of her weapons ability. The cosmetic effect is also temporary. It's basically the equivalent of a visual bug (or feature) where a weapon can't inflict actual damage but does invoke a damage mark effect. Like shooting a concrete wall in an FPS with a pistol and leaving a bullet hole that fades after a minute (or when you look away).

I mean, it's still an amazing accomplishment and Brain quite justly regards it as proof of his improvement, but it is also a completely ineffectual action in that situation and Shalltear is justly puzzled by why he would bother and then be pleased as if he'd actually improved his situation in any way.

Zero did as much actual damage to Sebas by causing dust to fly around when hitting him.

Evil Lord Wrath at least noticed the sensation of being hit by Remedios' sword. He commented that it caused a stinging sensation. Shalltear feels no pain, she merely sees that her pinky nail has been slightly shortened, though without any decrease in lethality as a weapon.
