Chapter 12 – Dungeon Break
Sirens echoed across the streets.
Students were ordered into emergency formation.
A mid-tier dungeon had destabilized.
Monsters poured out.
Goblins. Orcs. Iron beasts.
Civilians screamed.
Hunters mobilized.
Kabir joined the front line eagerly.
"This is my chance," he muttered.
Arjun stood still.
A new quest appeared.
[Emergency Quest]
[Defend the City]
[Reward: Shadow Growth Boost]
He stepped forward.
When the first orc charged—
Arjun raised his hand.
"Shadow Domain."
Darkness expanded across the battlefield.
Monsters slowed.
Shadows stretched unnaturally.
Gasps spread among hunters.
Arjun summoned five shadows at once.
His wolf had evolved.
Now it stood nearly twice its original size.
They moved like a coordinated army.
Precise.
Efficient.
Deadly.
Kabir watched in stunned silence.
Arjun wasn't supporting the fight.
He was controlling it.
But then—
The ground cracked.
A massive claw burst from beneath the street.
[Warning: High-Level Entity Detected]
Something far worse had arrived.
