Adrian had a limited amount of time for his transformation so he needed to kill the doom knight within that time frame. The doom knight is not his only problem as the undead called Gheist is once again wreaking havoc in the battle field. Adrian did not know what ability that the masked undead is using in order to become numerous.
He is now a lot bigger than the doom knight he is currently facing. Some would think that due to Adrian's size that he could easily flick away the doom knight but that is actually far from the truth. Adrian could barely push the doom knight away despite his doubled stats and the status deductions of the doom knight.
