Chapter 722: A Predator Vs It’s Prey (2)
A long beam of dark red plasma tore from the Berserker’s maw straight toward Liam as it realized the blast.
Liam’s eyes widened immediately.
For the first time in the fight, the reaction wasn’t calm calculation.
It was pure instinct.
He twisted his body mid-motion and fired a violent burst of flame from his left side. The blast shoved his body off its original path by barely enough.
The plasma blast passed him by a hair’s breadth.
Heat and pressure tore across his cheek and shoulder as the beam shot past, close enough to burn through the edge of his clothing and sear a shallow line along his skin.
Then it continued forward.
The forest behind Liam vanished in a straight line.
Trees split apart, ignited, and collapsed as the dark red plasma carved through everything in its path. The ground tore open beneath it, forming a long smoking trench that stretched deep into the forest. Dirt, roots, stone, and shattered trunks were ripped aside as the beam continued until it finally faded into the distance.
Liam landed hard on one foot, skidding sideways.
His eyes stayed on the trench for less than a second.
