'Think faster! What can I use to turn the tables?' Adam's mind raced urgently, his eyes darting left and right until they finally landed on the unconscious boy. No matter what he decided, Julius needed to be awake.
"JULIUS! WAKE UP, YOU IDIOT!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, startling Thomas.
"The boy can't help you. No one can," Thomas said, smiling ominously.
Simultaneously, Julius snapped his eyes open in confusion, his vision a mess of swirling forms. Blood filled his mouth as he struggled to remember how he ended up in this state. However, a message written in mana appeared before his eyes, interrupting his thoughts.
After reading it, he heard Adam's voice in the distance.
"I can't beat you... But why are you even attacking us in the first place?" He asked, his voice sounding defeated.
