"SHIT!" Nolan cursed to himself as he witnessed the third obelisk starting to light up.

Quickly, it began oozing with clouds that moved up the sky, covering the entire room.

Sparks of lightning brimmed through the area as darkness consumed the world.

A powerful sound of crackling lightning rang out beside Nolan's head.

He turned to his left, spotting a pillar of whitish light soaring towards him.

Instantly, Nolan flung his chained dagger to the side, digging its end into the wall, and he yanked on it with all his strength.

Instantly, his body jerked towards the wall, narrowly avoiding the lightning that slammed into the spot where he had just been.

However, Nolan wasn't unscathed; remnants of the lightning still slammed into him, enough to paralyze his muscles.

Unable to stop himself, he slammed his face into the wall, skidding painfully against it.
