The golem took a step forward, and the ground trembled beneath its weight. Adam tried to move, tried to do something, anything that could give the group a few more seconds of time.
But as soon as his body tried to respond, he felt something change inside him.
The adrenaline that had kept him standing until now vanished all at once.
It was as if someone had opened a gate and let all the remaining energy escape from his body.
His vision clouded instantly, his sight turned blurry, and an intense dizziness hit him so hard that his legs simply stopped supporting him.
He fell to the ground without being able to stop it, his cheek striking the cold stone as the world spun around him.
'No… not now…'
Nox was working too fast on his leg, channeling all his energy into the healing, and the process was draining the last reserves Adam had left.
It was a cruel irony: the very magic that was healing him was also leaving him completely defenseless.
