Chapter 88: Tortoise formation.
They're dead ... Lee didn't say it loud, but the words resonated in the ears of the two devils like a thunderblast.
They froze in their tracks and looked at each other in confusion, then back at their witch, who already turned to walk away. The result of the upcoming encounter was clear to everyone except for them, but strangely enough, despite the adrenaline pumping through their veins, they both heard what Lee said.
"Whaaat?" Thorax said, unable to put his feelings into words. A split moment ago he burned with excitement, but somehow it was extinguished with a single phrase.
"Why did you stop?" Lee said, glancing over his shoulder, "Didn't you want the sparks?"
Realizing that making fun of the brothers was probably a bad idea, he added, "When we first met I got the impression you were smart and capable people.
That's the only reason I could be persuaded to team up with you. I don't care if you have a godly weapon or other incredible things – if you are going to act stupid, we'll have to part our ways."
"But ... there are not that many of them ..." Thorax tried to argue.
"Arax, you should've realized it by now." Lee said, "After you charge down there, you'll kill two or three beasts almost in an instant. Thorax will smack a couple, breaking a few bones at best and provoking the beasts even more."
Then he paused for a moment, giving each brother a stare, and said, "Either he'll break the club again or the beasts will sense he's the least dangerous one and will gang up on him, but this time he won't be able to escape – these are not the lizards from yesterday. Seeing your brother hurt will drive you mad, and you'll go all out, killing, probably, most of the beasts, but in situation like this ... nine out of ten times you'll die in the process or will be lethally wounded."
