Liiza herself was the most surprised about that development. Despite her cold facade, she was genuinely shocked by her reaction.
That wasn't due to a lack of awareness. Liiza knew why she had reacted like that. She simply hadn't expected to do so. Her mind had betrayed her at the crucial moment, right before any harm could come to her.
That wasn't out of self-preservation. If anything, Liiza had calculated and had been ready for the extent of the damage she would have suffered until her technique took complete control over the uneven clump of True Chaos.
The damage would have been negligible at best, only featuring a few, sparse, and superficial wounds. It wouldn't have even counted as an injury due to how shallow it would have been, and Liiza could have even healed it instantly.
Nevertheless, Liiza had ultimately dodged the attack anyway, ending up letting her frozen cavern endure its full might, allowing the King to take a significant step toward freedom.
