Ruth's reckless attack had made the dungeon's structure even more unstable than it already was. The ground was a chaotic mess of jutting rock, and the ceiling was starting to chip and shatter.
Just before Ruth's body smashed against the dungeon wall, Liam's chains shot from his wrist and wrapped tightly around her waist.
Liam felt himself getting pulled – and the chain nearly snapped – but Krel's firm hand on his shoulder gave him the strength to yank Ruth back.
The red-haired woman had a broken right arm and a pained grimace on her face, partly due to Liam's corrosive chains tightly wrapped around her body.
After she was safely pulled to him and Krel, Liam released the chains and shifted his attention forward.
The Shifter had now become a towering wolf with lush white fur, but its body had been marred with countless cuts and bruises. The accumulated damage from it's lizard form had carried on over.
