We continued walking for some time, and everything we encountered on our path was nothing but monsters one after another. We didn't meet any other team, as if we were alone in this cursed place.
Aaron finally broke the silence in a complaining tone:
"Don't you feel that something is strange? Quite some time has passed, yet we haven't encountered any team at all… isn't that a bit suspicious?"
He was right.
It really did seem strange. It made no sense that we were facing this number of monsters without meeting anyone else at all. We were supposed to meet at least one team, but nothing of the sort happened. There was no logical explanation, and that made a sense of unease creep over me.
Drak replied, full of arrogant sarcasm, raising his chin as if the whole world belonged to him:
"They must be hiding somewhere, trembling with fear. Or maybe they saw me and ran away… no one can stand before my greatness."
