"TAKE IT BACK!"
The words tore from Livia's throat as she lunged.
Her body crashed into the nearest lackey before he could fully retreat.
Her fist which was coated in earth essence that had somehow transformed, hardened beyond normal limits drove into his stomach with force that folded him completely.
He hit the ground gasping, clutching his stomach.
And Livia didn't wait for a moment; she was already moving. Already targeting the next one.
Blood dripped from her chin as she moved. But she didn't wipe i, didn't even acknowledged it. Just kept moving.
The pendant burned against her chest. That strange warmth that had started as comfort and transformed into something else entirely. Something that fed into her essence and changed it. Heated it. Made it rage alongside her.
The second lackey tried to create a barrier between them. Stone formation rising from the ground—
But just as Livia's fist met it. The stone melted on contact.
