Elias pushed forward; three more were coming from behind him, and he decided to run faster, allowing his Agility to eat the distance while using the maze to break their line of sight.
They were fast, but they were also creatures of habit, hunting with instincts and not intelligence, as they always attacked from the left and then head-on after the third echo. He had noticed that in the first engagement.
His breathing, his footsteps, everything created echoes in this passage, and like beings of instincts, they attacked on the third echo, and Elias cleanly killed any of them who reached him.
It was a rather fascinating hunting tactic, and Elias wondered how these creatures had evolved to hunt in this manner.
He used it now, baiting them into positions where the crystals worked against them, and where their own pack tactics created confusion. By the time he reached a chamber at the heart of the maze, he had killed seven.
