Clash

After being pummeled with one attack after another the golem unexpectedly went completely dark but it was only for a moment before one by one more and more runes started lighting up on its head.

In fact, in the blink of an eye, its head was completely covered!

It did not stop there. After the head, it was the torso and then the hands and the legs. In a second every single rune on the damn thing had lit up.

Liam tensed up as this clearly couldn't be anything good. Before he could finish his thought a blast of power hit him in the face.

The force of the blast knocked Liam backward, his feet skidding across the stage to stabilize himself. 

This surge of power from the golem was unlike anything it had exhibited before; the runes covering its body not only amplified its strength but seemingly granted it new abilities that Liam hadn't anticipated.
