Just as Max was observing them with his Three Dimensional Body and his 3rd level concept of space, a heavy presence rolled out like a shockwave.
The lion-headed humanoid beast turned its savage head sharply toward the wall—toward Max. Its golden mane bristled as its eyes gleamed with a bestial, brutal sharpness that pierced like fangs.
"Someone is spying on us," it growled, its voice a deep, guttural rumble that carried primal authority. The sound itself seemed to claw at the air.
Max's pupils contracted. His heart skipped. He instantly severed his connection to the chamber, retracting his Three Dimensional Body and space concept as if burned. His thoughts raced.
'Did he sense me? Or did he only feel the disturbance in the space?'
He didn't get the chance to think further.
A deafening crack echoed through the underground.
