Explosion

Time resumed.

Several things happened in quick succession, and in the span of just a few seconds. 

The cloud of Corruption enveloped Liam's entire form in one second.

To counter it, Liam used his Blood Demon armor. Ichor oozed from his orifices, coagulations forming sleek plates of crystalized armor. 

As an extra layer of protection, Liam used his shadows solely for defense. 

Despite all of this, Liam still felt the Corruption poking through his skin, which made parts of him convulse and spasm.

It was a bearable, enjoyable amount.

Then, Liam dealt with the Corruption Abominations. 

Although his darkness was momentarily sealed, the odachi could send arcs of corrosive gas through its edge. 

In the flash of an eye, Liam sent out 3 slashes each for every Corrupt Abomination. 

SHING! SHING! SHING!

Arcs of darkness flew wildly. 

Brown blood streaked across the air.
