As the epic battle with Grimgor reaches its climax, he unleashes his devastating stomp mechanic, wreaking havoc on a large area and dealing a severe blow to all three of his attackers.

After dropping to nearly 50%, HP Paul cast the last Vitality Surge he could, running completely out of mana afterward.

Thanks to his healing, both he and Holly survived with low HP. Irene, who had more total HP and better armor, was able to survive without using a heal but was even lower in health than her companions.

With Grimgor still having around 20% HP, the trio was in desperate straights; all of them were near or entirely out of mana. After fighting continuously for many minutes, they could not sustain a relentless onslaught like in the beginning.
