Originally, the earlier battle and the severe injury should have long exhausted Baron Bloodshield's Life Force.
Yet, the moment his hands touched the stone statue, a newfound strength surged within him.
Life Force flowed out of the statue and entered his body before it began coursing through him, boiling like scorched magma.
The Baron's dark eyes shone with a crimson light, as a fanatical expression crept up onto his face, carrying a yearning for destruction as well as hope for freedom.
With no hesitation, he lunged at Liora and urged his Life Force, not to launch an attack but to detonate it. His muscles tensed, and his body began elongating, making him look like a balloon that was about to burst.
His aura fluctuated, and the world around him froze, as if it were bracing itself for the upcoming impact.
Just then, though, the sound of something sharp piercing through the air echoed.
Liora—who had remained silent and motionless for a long time—finally moved.
