A different path

Liam could feel the lizard guy's fighting spirit, his angry soul, surging inside that strong and robust body. He could even feel all of the emotions of the creature. They were heightened as he sensed them.

He gulped and tugged at it. The lizardman instantly froze. He turned to look at Liam in a daze, not understanding what was happening. 

Liam unknowingly grinned and tugged at his soul some more. A power-hungry look appeared on his face as he watched the creature squirm and fall down inexplicable pain. The lizardman was completely helpless under his grasp.

He tugged at the already wounded soul even more, and this time, the creature gasped for breath, and his eyes bulged out of their sockets. He twitched on the ground for a couple of seconds before dropping down dead.
