Maxwell frowned; his heart tightened as he put his guards up.
However, Ben was bringing Fernando along until Maxwell couldn't see their backs anymore. At this time, he still didn't sense any threats directed at him.
He spread his senses out further and still didn't detect any humanoid auras.
"Huh?"
"Was he just trying to scare me?"
"Doesn't seem like it."
Maxwell's heart skipped a beat as he slowly turned around. It was at this moment that a shout was heard underground.
"Activate!"
"Huh?"
"They're underground!"
"Damnit, how come I didn't remember that gnomes usually lived underground?" Maxwell frowned as he immediately activated Ghost Steps and shot off. While in midair, he looked down at the original spot he was at.
Nothing had happened!
Maxwell exhaled and said to himself: "These gnomes are rather crafty..."
Before he finished the rest of his sentence, two rows of gnomes appeared in the vicinity of Maxwell.
