Nero tried to guess how Maximilian had taken down so many of them so quickly. Obviously it had to do with his ability, but what exactly the ability entailed could not be so easily determined. At least he had not used it earlier during the fight with the berserkers and shadow berserkers.

"Someone wake them up. Just just drag them along if you want to avoid listening to them complain," he said, and just walked past them as Shirly continued to lead.
They were, of course, not just left there on the ground. Otherwise any passing Mutt could kill them all. But they were a lot more subdued after they were woken up by someone.
