After Ned detected the dozen Kruthik, he almost gasped seeing a massive red obscuring image under his display.
His Detect skill converts mana and uses it to detect any lifeforms that surround Ned in a radius of 15 meters. Ahead of them, inside the right fork, was a massive lifeform. It was bigger than Sas Koron, perhaps it was almost half the size of her throne room.
Ned already knew that this was an ambush, and the only way was behind. But even if they could retreat, Ned was certain that the massive lifeform ahead of them wouldn't let them leave.
They were trapped. They didn't know it yet but Ned could abandon them. With his Overclock, he could escape, alone, with ease.

"What human?" Said the captain of Katolin's team.
"Walls!" Ned bellowed. "They're hiding in the walls!"
