Midnight Crystal (Part 43)

Danger accompanied and appeared in everyone's life and it didn't matter if that person was an artist, a cook, or a military man. Everyone had their moments of danger from time to time, always had.

 

And... in Dead Lands, it happened with maximum frequency, but, those who were most often in mortal danger were not Phantoms.

 

Sure, Phantoms often had to take risks and fight for their lives, but the record holders in this ranking were monsters. Even the most aggressive and unlucky Phantom didn't have to face danger as often as the average monster.

 

Thus, it was monsters as a whole species, developed an instinct of self-preservation that surpassed the instincts of all other creatures.

 

In other words, it was the monsters who were the first to realize when danger was approaching.

 

What to do in such a situation? What should one do when danger is imminent? Maybe fight? Maybe try to defend against the threat?
