Creed's vision blurred as pain roared through his body like wildfire.
Every nerve screamed for him to stop moving, to give in, to just collapse on the icy ground and let it all end.
His ribs felt like shattered glass inside his chest, his arms ached from the weight of his spear, and his legs threatened to buckle under him with every shaky step.
But none of that mattered. Lilith was going to die!
After sending her flying with a single smack, the golem pursued her vengefully to finish her off!
Boom!
The golem's massive fist was still descending, and Creed knew, instinctively, that he wouldn't reach her in time.
His legs pumped as hard as they could, his muscles burned with the effort, but deep down, his mind screamed the ugly truth: I'm too slow!
The realization cut deeper than any wound.
