The pungent semi-liquid had completely enveloped Charles, and it cooled rapidly.
His entire body felt like it was encased in cement, even his face, and now he couldn't even breathe.
Charles tried to break free, but it was as if several steel hoops were tightly wrapped around him, immobilizing him.
Charles's transparent tentacles and powerful lightning were utterly useless at that moment.
"What is covering my body? What are they trying to do??" Charles thought, overwhelmed by emotions.
Just then, Charles suddenly felt himself floating up and moving at high speed, the sensation similar to riding in a car. "Where are these people taking me? Who are they?"
Soon, Charles no longer had time to ponder these questions, as he began to feel the lack of oxygen.
"I need to think fast. How can I escape in my current immobile state? If it continues like this, I'm really going to suffocate!"
Charles's mind raced, his lungs gasping for more and more air.
