Alice screamed, rushing forward—just as Austin used the edges of the pit to propel himself upward, leaping out of the deadly abyss.
But things didn't stop there. Liam had completely lost his sanity. Countless spikes burst violently from the ground, surging toward Austin and Alice in a frenzy.
Austin lunged forward, grabbing Alice and pulling her out of Liam's line of sight.
[Damn, Liam was never this strong when he was on Austin's team!]
[Unchanging rule—bosses are always stronger when they're enemies, hahaha!]
Liam gasped heavily, his eyes bloodshot. The maid had finally fled. Only then did he have a moment to regain himself—yet when he looked around, both Austin and Alice were gone. Frowning, he widened his eyes, only to see the mansion's crumbling, ruined state before him.

He didn't know that at that very moment, Mrs. Andersen was already right before him—her massive mouth opening wide enough to swallow him whole.
