Once Ximena walked off, Vale stored his new item in the Nexus of Beginnings and began reversing his way through the maze.
He considered picking up all the dropped bone knives, but the Workers could do that. Vale was more concerned with checking up on Awilix and getting some rest.
As Vale rounded the last wall of the labyrinth and laid eyes upon the streamers now half dyed red, a ferocious glare was returned at him.
From that glare, it was clear he was foolish for even thinking he had to check up on the feral girl…
Awilix bore her fangs and growled at Vale.
"Is it over?"
Vale stopped a little ways away and gave her a solemn nod… for he knew what was to come.
"Yes…"
"5 hours!"
Awilix immediately fell on all fours and bounded at Vale, leaving Stacy the lone defender of the entrance to the rest of the dungeon, all the Workers but Crow somewhere behind her.
Vale braced himself, but the impact as Awilix tackled him to the ground was harsh.
