No part of Layla's body did not burn when she was held up like this. Even her legs felt the strain when her core decided to power up and shock the hand holding her neck tightly.
The stinging sensation Layla's body unconsciously produced caused the attacker to let go of her and drop her.
Layla coughed as soon as she was free. The hand mark against her neck burned, and it still felt like someone was strangling her neck harshly.
"Tsk, I did not like your trick. It won't work on me a second time."
The attacker confirmed before he reached out to grab Layla once more. And Layla panicked enough to use her magic.
Unbearable pain erupted across her body as soon as she did that. The hurt core was a source of power, but it also tormented Layla.
'At this rate, I might die because of my core before I die at this man's hand. What tough luck. I guess this is the price I must pay for being careless.'
