"Oof."
Liam felt his arm go numb as something struck them. He was barely able to react in time, and he felt himself being thrown toward the ground at an alarmingly rapid rate. The speed at which he was traveling was terrifying.
Boom—!
Just before he touched the ground, lightning crackled around him, and he was just barely able to twist his body and position himself in a way that helped him land on his feet rather than on his back.
Bang—!
The ground began to crack beneath him, and rocks began to fly past him.
'That was close.'
He thought, looking up at the bulky figure that the Pillar Mater of the House of Gluttony was.
After only a few encounters with her, he realized that he was no match for her. Without a doubt, she was one of the most powerful individuals he had ever faced.
Even so…
Bringing his hand toward his shirt, Liam clenched it and felt the beat of his heart.
Ba...Thump! Ba...Thump!
