I was still squeezing tightly when the man suddenly went limp in my grip, then he literally melted through my grip like smoke but the liquid kind, and in the next moment, he was reappearing right beside me, cracking maniacally with his head thrown back.
"Surely you didn't think that that would have been enough to kill me, did you?" He crooned and the amount of anger filling me up right now was unlike anything I've experienced before. The fact that it just slowly dawned on me that I wouldn't be una ke to inflict any damage on this being if he's made of literal smoke…
This means he could definitely try to take Lilac from me right now if he wanted. I instantly tensed up right now, no longer interested in fighting him but wearing assessing me so wouldn't try to slip past me… but the truth of this situation is that if he chose to do that right now, I wouldn't even be able to stop him.
