Taking a sharp right, Theo kept running.
The desperate cries for help slowly faded behind him, replaced by screams that made his blood curl.
'I'm sorry!' he thought, gritting his teeth. 'But I can't take all of you out of here.'
'Not when my parents are still at risk.'
Splash! Splash!
Theo shot through another flooded alleyway at full speed, his spear tightly clenched in one hand.
At the next intersection, he briefly spotted two hunters completely surrounded by a wave of Ironclaw Crabs.
Spell after spell hit the crabs, yet none seemed to hesitate even a second.
Before Theo even got the chance to think, one of the hunters had already been grabbed by his legs and pulled underwater.
Blood exploded into the air the next second.
The other hunter's head had been crushed between the crabs' claws.
'Shit!' he thought, shaking his head with a clenched jaw.
Without hesitating any longer, Theo immediately dashed across the intersection.
CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!
