What is he doing?

Liam held onto anything and everything that he could and continued struggling against the sword. 

He knew that even though he was suffering here, his time was also constantly running out. He needed to get through this faster. That hadn't changed. 

But something else had changed.

Unfortunately, he was no longer hidden from the outside world. The moment the dungeon collapsed, two pairs of eyes fell on him as they gaped at him in amazement and astonishment.

"What is he doing?" Mia gasped, for the first time showing some sort of emotion on her face. Her reaction surprised the golden knight, and he quickly dashed toward the mirror to take a look.

Though he wanted to leave this insect alone if something unexpected happens, he couldn't face the high priestess, so he ended up staying back and observing him after all. 

He had handed over a few of his tasks to his underlings and was back in the hall where the viewing mirror was located.
