Bab 485: Durian's mansion (part 9) - On their way

At first, they were lucky, thanks to Mia's knowledge about the mansion and Zombie's life signature detection skill they managed to almost catch up to Roan and Mary – as the pair of the runaways was seemingly going the long way and kept on hiding and waiting for Durian's slave to pass – but that's where the luck of the trio had run out.

Because of the erratic movement of some of the slaves with their sane minds erased or at least corroded by their crests, the group found themselves in a bind while passing through the intersecting hallway with three groups of slaves approaching them from every possible way out that they could take.

Unfortunately, the hallway that they passed had no doors to the rooms – which were already being searched through by more of Durian's people anyway – and jumping out of the window was also out of the question as even more slaves were swarming the outside right beneath it.
