Bab 451: Minor Threat

The Sanguine Strings didn't go through the spider's chitin.

It wasn't even a particularly hardened section of its body, either. 

But Liam had expected as much. 

He wanted to see how rigid and powerful the spider's armor really was.

And now he had his answer.

There was no more ambiguity left.

But Liam didn't relent.
