Whether Adam liked it or not, he needed to activate two more statues to go further - those were the rules of the External Artifact here and he couldn't ignore them.
For some people the extra quest would not be a serious problem, it might be good news to take a break and think about the situation, yet Adam was not one of them.
He wanted to find out what was behind the statues as soon as possible, and he wasn't attracted to the idea of wandering around the huge fortress looking for purple spheres or anything like that.
It seemed that his wish was granted - the intimidating monster was staring right at him, not about to refuse the challenge to fight.
Like Adam, the monster didn't want to waste any time, if they could face each other now, then so be it.
Whooooooooooooosh.
Bouncing off the ceiling, a massive shadow swept before Adam's eyes, crashing to the ground like a meteorite.
