Chapter 22: Light Power
BANG!
The rat’s claw struck Carlos, but the boy used his small body to dodge the sharp parts of the claw.
He was only hit, not pierced. As a result, his body was flung high into the air.
Observing this, Liam thought, This rat can turn its body into shadow, making it untouchable. But when it attacks, it needs to return to its physical form.
It wasn’t hard to conclude, as the changes between its shadow and physical forms were quite clear.
While in shadow form, it was nearly impossible to attack it, although Liam believed there might be ways — either by attacking its shadow directly or using light, the greatest weakness of shadows.
As Carlos was flung into the air, the rat lunged at him again, returning to its shadow form, but this time its mouth opened wide, clearly ready to swallow him whole.
It would naturally return to its physical form once Carlos entered its mouth — otherwise, Carlos would simply fall through, as the shadow form had no substance.
"Rat! The man behind you will attack once you swallow me!" Carlos suddenly shouted.
"It doesn’t matter, as long as I kill you," the rat replied, surprising Liam.
Carlos’s expression darkened upon hearing this, glaring at Liam in frustration, realizing that Liam was trying to take advantage of his predicament.
