Adam moved the instant the guardians closed in.
He twisted aside as the spear-wielding statue thrust its weapon toward him, the massive spearhead cutting through the air with a sharp whistle. Its reach was absurd. Even after Adam retreated several steps, the weapon continued to pursue him, forcing him to keep moving before it could pin him against the chamber wall.
Azrynn released her first arrow.
The projectile streaked across the chamber, wrapped in purple runes, and struck the guardian's shoulder. A burst of energy erupted on impact, scattering fragments of stone and dust. Yet when the smoke cleared, the statue remained almost completely unharmed. A faint mark was all the arrow had managed to leave behind.
"Seriously?" Adam muttered.
He lunged forward, his body blurring as he closed the distance. His fist slammed into the spear guardian's torso with enough force to send a shockwave through the chamber.
The impact reverberated through the stone.
