Chapter 25 - chapter 25 :"Ashes and Secrets"

Scene 1: Healing and Stats

The ground was red with blood.

Rudraveer and Yasmin were badly injured, but... Then a healer hunter appears.

His hand glows, and a holy light covers both their bodies.

> Healer:

"You both have a lot of courage to salute. Now you can fight again."

The wounds heal.

But—

> Rudraveer (serious):

"The dungeon is still closed…"

> Yasmin:

"And only 160 people out of 376 have been rescued…"

> Healer:

"There are still dozens of people trapped inside."

Scene 2: On the other side… Shammmm…

The cut scene changes.

Elsewhere, in a strange soot-filled place—

Shammmmm stands alone.

In front of him—a huge figure.

A monster with all its skin like iron, and eyes burning like blue lightning.

In his hand—a metal dagger dragging itself along the ground.

The monster steps forward, and—

> "KREEEEHHHHHH!!"

attacks Shammmm.

Shammmmm's clothes are cut, his chest is scratched.

But he doesn't even move.

> Shammmm (slowly, eyes burning):

"You think you can touch me?"

He slowly raises his finger—

> Shammmam (angrily):

"You are just dust..."

---

Scene 3: One Finger Destruction

In a second...

The entire ground explodes.

The monster flies into the air—and as he falls...

BOOOOM!!!

Black lightning from Shammmam's one finger incinerates him right in the air.

> Shammmam (calmly):

"Stupid... You can't even breathe without my permission."

He turns, and walks into another depth.

---

Scene 4: Another Mystery

As Shammmam moves forward—

He sees an old wall, on which something is written in a language similar to Vedic Shlokas.

He stops.

> Shammmam (slowly):

"This is the real door…"

Scene 1: Two Warriors, Two Claims

In the core zone of the dungeon—

Arya D'Souza and Rudraveer stood face to face.

> Arya (tired but smiling):

"Boss monster is finished. This hell had to end here."

> Rudraveer (serious):

"I killed him, Arya. If you killed someone... then he was not the boss."

Both had lines of worry on their faces now.

---

Scene 2: The Unseen Shadow

At that moment—

The ground shakes.

A terrible pressure—as if some invisible force has gripped the entire dungeon.

> "Shhhh...."

A strange hissing sound reverberates all around.

At the same time—

A hot wind—as if from a volcano.

A cold wave—as if from a death's touch.

---

Scene 3: Hunters lose consciousness

Everyone, whether S-rank or SS+, shivers.

> Yasmin (breathing heavily):

"This… what kind of power is this?"

> Mani (staring at the ground):

"I can't see anything… but this energy… it's not human."

> Salim:

"Someone… is watching us. From behind a shadow."

Vasu sees fear in his eyes.

> Vasu:

"Bhaiya?"

> Harvin:

"Something... something is going very wrong."

---

Scene 5: First Sign of Shadow

Inside the Dungeon—

All the Hunters feel something at the same time—

As if some very old, dormant power is waking up.

And it—

is now watching them.

> Rudraveer (quietly):

"Get ready. The real battle will begin now."
