Not far from Ash, dark mist rose, chilling the air. A hooded figure appeared, his steps bringing shadows to life. Tendrils of darkness wrapped around entire clusters of beasts, crushing them into the earth.
Then came fire—unrelenting. Flames erupted as another leader raised both arms, and an inferno swallowed the battlefield, reducing the monster tide to ash.

But it was enough to turn the tide. The dungeon closed, vanishing out of existence so no more beasts could emerge.
Ash put his gun away, watching as the situation came under control.
Just after the initial clash, hundreds of guild members joined the fight, assisting rankers and hunting down the remaining beasts.
