Chapter 96 - Stranger
Angor kept flying for about ten minutes and reached a junction connecting three other paths.
He then facepalmed himself. Which way? What was beyond them? Were there monsters? He did not know!
Did not matter now. Angor chose a random one, made a mark, and moved on.
Another ten minutes went by. Angor reached another fork… a five-way one this time. Like before, he left a mark and moved into a randomly-chosen one.
About more than an hour later, Angor reached a dead end, so he had to go back and choose another path. He went on like this and ran into several stops until he finally entered a path which… seemed to be working.
Still, he had a question. He did not stumble upon anything on his way. No monsters, no stuff, no nothing. According to Sunders, the underground maze should have been way more chaotic than this. Maybe he was just lucky? Well, he should be thankful.
The truth was that after he drank the saliva of the mouth flower, he carried its scent as well. Such scent was extremely terrifying for the monsters living in the maze. Weaker monsters escaped right away when they smelled it. This was why nothing stopped Angor, but he did not know this himself.
Maybe he was deaf for real?
Angor made another turn and was terrified to see his only path ending at another wall.
A dead end, with a crazy deaf psycho in hot pursuit. Angor’s face went pale immediately. Would he die? Not to a monster, but to a freaking madman?
