Chapter 728: Flames Vs Explosive Lighting
The moment Liam and the Berserker launched forward, the forest between them ceased to exist as an obstacle.
It became something they tore through.
The ground cracked beneath Liam’s feet as white-orange flames erupted from his left arm and burst from beneath his boots, propelling him forward in a straight line. Across from him, the Berserker exploded into motion with dark red lightning snapping violently over its limbs, its body lowering like a beast even though it ran upright.
The distance vanished instantly.
They collided at the center of the ruined forest.
Liam swung the hybrid javelin first.
The blackened weapon came in from the left, its molten cracks glowing brighter as he twisted his entire body behind the strike. The Berserker responded by driving its clawed forearm into the path of the blow.
A loud impact was made as the hybrid javelin smashed against the demon’s arm, and compressed flame detonated across its armor-like flesh. Fire and shadow burst outward from the point of contact, tearing apart the ground beneath them and sending broken bark flying through the darkness.
But neither moved back.
The Berserker pushed through the explosion and swung its other arm toward Liam’s head.
Liam ducked beneath it before the strike even fully formed.
Not because he had seen it.
