'Has it already started?' Adrian thought as he saw the statues coming to life. 'Guess, it's time to go all out then.'
"All of you, try to get the artifact as soon as possible. As long as you get it, those statues will lose their life." He shouted loudly. "I will keep this monster at bay. Remember to be careful of the lightning!"
"Clang-!"
Just then, he blocked the monster's deadly claws aimed at his back.
"OK, please don't get hurt," Aurelius replied loudly and started instructing others what to do.
"Let's fight," Adrian said to the monster with a cold smile. "And use all your strength."
The creature smiled excitedly as if it understood his words. And suddenly, its eyes glowed intensely, its claws turning black and growing in length.
'Damn, it really understood me!' Adrian cursed inwardly for speaking those words. But he didn't plan to back down.
