Unexpected Helper Part 1

The blade-like palms of the mercenary neared Damian's throat and it seemed as though it was going to be impossible to block it or dodge it without suffering an injury.

Damian had no choice but to put his arms up to block the final slash of the mercenaries life, however, it didn't pierce deeply into his arm and he suddenly sensed a familiar presence.

Along with that familiar presence, a pillar formed out of rock suddenly pierced upwards from the ground and struck the half-dead mercenary, sending him flying away from Adam and stopping him from being able to cut him any deeper.

[It can't be. Did Clay really save me?]

[Why the hell is he even here?!] exclaimed Damian within his mind, recognising the presence and the ability.

"Get up, I thought you were more capable than this," said Clay as he grabbed Damian's arm and pulled him up.
