Contingency
Liam's pale face turned dark.
In the worst of ways, he overdid it.
He was too absorbed into the clash and honed everything on winning, brutally maiming the heir of one of the largest noble families in Echoria.
Though, if he went any easier, he definitely would have lost.
To add salt on the wound, he did it in front of an audience!
The best course of action was to use the Surge Burst spell on Rishe's body, not his face. He would've won either way… but Liam chose the more lethal route in the spur of the moment.
'If his family patriarch is what I think he is, there's no doubt in my mind... he would want revenge.'
'Not to mention, if the Royce family hasn't found me yet, they will raise more than a few brows hearing about a darkness cultivator inside the academy.'
In the back of Liam's mind, a contingency plan was already being made.
'Looks like I'll have to make use of Revel's organization much faster than I thought.'
