Of course the harrowing scythe had some hidden ability Liam was unaware of. Till now, Gorock had not used anything except his physical power and the scythe's forged sharpness.
And while Liam wasn't using everything he had at his disposal, he wasn't holding back. Throughout the fight, the scythe consumed the drops of blood it drew from Liam's wounds…
And when it reached a climax, the scythe… well, it was so fast, Liam didn't even see how it happened.
Even after using Mind Edge, all he felt was an overwhelming sense of danger, forcing him to pivot to the side at the very last second.
If he didn't… well, Gorock would have kept his promise of cleaving him in half.
Now, he was left with two stumps for arms that wouldn't heal back for some time, nor retract into his body. He was also bleeding restlessly from said injuries.
Not only were the anti-regeneration powers were that strong, it more or less disabled Transfiguration.
