Liam's head throbbed violently and the blood vessels in his ears and nose popped, blood leaking out of his orifices.
Just as he was trying resolutely to subdue the vengeful soul, the soul as well was trying its best to destroy him.
It could sense that its state was in great peril.
Unfortunately for Liam, the more he withstood the pain and the more soul fragments he gathered, Gorak's soul was becoming that much stronger and stronger.
His ability to attack Liam mentally was also increasing and this was not even the end.
Liam had only managed to gather about a quarter of the soul fragments and he was already at his limit.
What would happen if he managed to gather half of the soul? Three-fourths of the soul? And finally, the whole soul?
Just the mere thought of it was a heavy blow to Liam's mind and body as he was trying his best to hold on.
"I can do this. Shut up. One step at a time."
