Adam was momentarily distracted from his part in the battle by James' large beam of light and a huge splash of water. [i]"Very impressive,"[/i] he thought. He wanted to see how everyone else was doing as well, but he remembered that he still had work to do. Anything beyond seeing two ogres getting kneecapped and blinded respectively would have to wait. This renewed focus came at the right time too, as the man saw the large skeleton and three smaller ones start to charge right at him! The fear of death returned to him as Adam realized there were no more logs or plants nearby to manipulate now.

Whether out of insight or desperation, the man had an idea. [i]"If the others have strong magic, maybe I do too."[/i] And as if he had done it a hundred times before, Adam summoned three large roots from the ground, each of them rising from below one of the three regular skeletons. The force of doing so shattered their bodies into pieces, instantly turning the odds of the battle in the man's favor. The ease of which this all happened amazed him, but there were more important things to think about right now.

With renewed confidence, a strategy instantly appeared in Adam's mind, and he executed it immediately. From where he was standing, he had the roots to his left and right try to encircle the armored skeleton like a crab's claw. At the same time, the man had the middle one attempt to slam the creature of bone to the ground. Hopefully one of the stems would impact the creature like the other skeletons had been. As this process happened, Adam stayed alert, wanting to be prepared for whatever happened next.
