Chapter 49: Rot vs. Order (1)
The tunnel is bigger than I thought.
Fester looked smug at the praise and showed off more features it had erected inside.
Similar to the first circle design, it had left random holes along the walls. These could be used to set up ambushes in case a foolish soul decided to explore the tunnels.
On top of that, there were some tunnels that led to a dead end, and some led to strange traps.
Blaze was surprised Fester did all of it itself, considering its low intelligence.
Fester copied the lair’s layout, but even copying requires intelligence.
Blaze then looked ahead. Three skeletons were leading the charge, each holding a bone club.
It might not be much use against the ants, but they’d be better than his claws.
An ant’s exoskeleton was quite tough, even before the apocalypse. Blaze assumed they had only gotten stronger afterwards.
Hence, his claws might not be of much use against them. Comparatively, bludgeoning weapons, like the club, would still be useful against them.
If the tunnels had been bigger, he would have taken Raven and Breaker with him. But that wasn’t the case.
