John watched as the statue lunged directly at him.
Channeling his psychic energy, he formed it into a radiant red blade - the Divine Talent, Divine Blade thrusting forth.
Before the statue's assault could land, John effortlessly vanquished it.
Ignoring the fallen shards of the giant statue at his feet, he moved forward.
The defeated behemoth released a surge of energy, which was promptly absorbed into the gem-laden magic array.
Ahead, as John hastened his steps, one after another, the imposing statues were swiftly defeated by him.
From a spectator's perch, the Pope watched as John blitzed through, leaving behind remnants of the stone behemoths, their energy swirling into the magic arrays.
Beside him, Valerie, the city lord, curiously remarked, "This adventurer hasn't noticed the peculiarities of those stone fragments. He could have easily bypassed these giants. After all, this level primarily involves deciphering puzzles."
