"He doesn't seem crazy..."
Leonard Churchill watched as the emaciated old man stood up from the sandy soil, feeling a great sigh of relief within himself.
A sweep of his eyes confirmed that, despite being skin and bones, the old man's skeletal structure was devoid of any signs of mutations, completely normal for a human being.
This was entirely different from those madmen he had encountered on the sixth level of the mine.
It was good that he was human.
At least he still had his reason.
Moreover, without feeling any immediate malice from the old man, Leonard also took this as a good sign.
What he feared most was that this elder's temperament would be so quirky that he would get aggressive without giving Leonard a chance to speak.
If that worst scenario unfolded, Leonard did not believe he would stand any chance of surviving in front of this figure.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen.
...
So, Leonard just quietly stood in place.
