All of Liam's focus had been honed for this precise moment.
Forming a mass of void took quite some time, and it was difficult to maintain the process until it finally concluded.
But it finally did.
And Liam shot it forward.
The flash of purple light caused the shadows to dance.
It was closing in on the core!
It was about to dig through!
Just a few centimeters more!
What happened next was just… stupid.
So, so stupid.
In one quick movement, the spider just… dodged mid-air!
In reality, it had just shot out a streak of silk from the tip of its abdomen, then yanked itself towards it!
The sphere of void missed narrowly.
It passed through the air, consuming a patch of reality—
SHHHHH!
—then puffing out and causing air to shriek as it repaired itself.
At the same exact time, hairs shot out from all over its body like stray shrapnel.
It was too fast.
Even for Liam.
