"Oh fuck."
Caspian's voice cracked through clenched teeth as he took in the flood of monsters—over a hundred, dark-aura beasts pouring through the shattered gates like a wave of living shadow.
His earpiece buzzed. "To all units—abort the mission. Find the escape route. Now."His tone was sharp, decisive—but his body trembled.
"Vera, go. Find the exit. Now." he barked without turning back.
Vera's voice came, grim. "But how the hell are you going to handle this alone—?"
"UNLEASH."
The word echoed unnaturally through the chamber.
A pulse. A low vibration from the ground.
Suddenly—a fifty-meter radius around Caspian turned blood red, veins of burning aura pulsing outward from his feet.The monsters hesitated. Just for a second.
Vera didn't ask again. He turned and vanished into the corridor.
And Caspian—
Buckled.
His knees hit stone.
Hands to the ground, fingers trembling as if being shocked.
It was too much.
