142 Private Lesson- Part 3

A split-second opening appeared, and Liam moved before he could think. He swung forward with a punch, but Victor sidestepped, grabbing his wrist in a swift counter.

"Got you." 

Victor teased.

That single moment of imbalance sent a jolt of frustration through Liam's body. His magic reacted before he could stop it.

A sudden surge of energy crackled through the air.

Asger's voice rang in his ears. 

"Liam! Control yourself—"

Too late.

A powerful spell erupted from Liam's palm—a roaring surge of energy barreling straight toward Victor.

Victor's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but his reaction was immediate. With a flick of his wrist, he conjured a barrier just in time. 

The force of Liam's attack slammed into it, shaking the very walls of the dungeon.

For a moment, everything was still.

Then—

Crack.
