Could it have smelled that the other Sniffles was here?
Did it feel threatened when it saw the other one disappear?
Let's not think further and just act.
Jude took the Panzerfaust out of his item slot to fire it, but the monster had already gone around the corner and disappeared. Without a word, they all ran after it.
"Bind it, bind it!!"
As Ezechiele stopped and tried to concentrate, Shield Sniffles leaped and ran down the stairs. Blocking it with a dimensional wall was no use. The stocky guy was far too quick for its size.
They stopped at the stairs, and Jude opened his mouth. "Let's go back and kill the other Sniffles first. Chasing that guy will only waste time."
Bastien clenched his fist and stepped forward. "I'll chase that guy. You take care of the other one."
The other Sniffles would come out soon. There was no time to argue, even if it would have been better for all of them to deal with it together.
Jude tapped Bastien on the shoulder.
"Don't overdo it."
