There was another corridor exiting the room opposite the one Atlas and Horus came out of. Logically, it was easy for them to run to that corridor and avoid the statues altogether.
However, Atlas believed that his rewards would be better if he fought when he could, and Horus…
Well, Horus just loved to fight.
There were sixteen statues in total, but they did not move together. Six of them against the back wall were still watching the scene without moving, while another three on each side wall were standing with their weapons pointed at the sky.
The remaining four were the only ones who moved to attack, and four was a far more manageable number.
Atlas and Horus split them evenly, taking the right and left sides respectively.
Boom!
Horus slammed his fist into the first statue, a figure of a man holding a spear, and started the battle.
Meanwhile, Atlas skirted around them and observed their attack patterns first.
