The group had learnt the hard way that Max's scan was not guaranteed to detect incoming dangers and hence they now added an extra layer of protection in the form of the nether beasts.
" We are way too weak in this dungeon " Asiva said, ashamed of falling under mind control and attacking Max
" Yeah sorry Ma-, Ravan we'd be toast without you " Anna said, as she got a stern glare from Asiva for almost using Max's real name.
" I don't like your dogs, they stink ". Sebastian said grumpily as he rode the same stinky dog against his will.
