It took me a longer walk as I had to pass by Skiaxodius' pyramid as well to get to my other objective. There was no need to enter to report my success as I figured he knew exactly what went on in his domain.
The walk was good, as it gave me time to properly map out a strategy against my next opponent. I don't know what Skiaxodius considered strong, but I felt that the last guy was a bit underwhelming.
Sure, he played me a first, but when I got focused, he was a letdown. Maybe it was a trick by him to make me let my guard down but, I wasn't planning on dying here. I've been through too much training to just die to guys who have been tortured for Skiaxodius knows how long.
Since I was in my thoughts, the trip didn't feel as long as the next pyramid soon came into view. Not knowing what to expect, I carefully navigated the corridors lit by green torches until I come across another open chamber.
