Chapter 737: I’ll Proceed Your Way
Charlotte paused with the meat halfway to her mouth.
For a few seconds, she said nothing.
Back when she had found Liam unconscious near the ruined clearing and noticed the complete absence of the Berserker’s remains, a part of her had already considered that possibility. It had been the only explanation that truly fit.
Even so, she had forced herself not to fully believe it because accepting that Liam had erased a Sync-class demon by himself sounded absurd even after everything she had seen from him. Charlotte knew Liam was powerful. Everyone did. She knew he was dangerous in a way most students could not properly understand. But killing a Berserker and erasing one so thoroughly that nothing remained were two very different things.
Now Liam had confirmed it with the same tone someone might use to say he had put out a fire.
Charlotte slowly lowered the meat.
"You erased it," she repeated.
"Yes."
She stared at him for another moment, then leaned back slightly as a slow smile crept across her face. "You know, every time I think I have a decent idea of how much of a powerhouse you are, you do something stupidly ridiculous and ruin my scale."
Liam said nothing and continued eating.
Charlotte’s eyes lingered on him, though her thoughts had gone much deeper than her playful tone suggested. A Sync-class demon was still a Sync-class demon. Berserkers might be considered the lowest among the Sync-class species in terms of intelligence and refined abilities, but that did not make them weak.
Even the lowest Sync-class demon stood beyond what most students could realistically handle alone. Their strength, regeneration, instincts, and sheer brutality placed them in a category where survival alone should have been considered impressive.
