BOOOOOOOM!!
Dark mana exploded across the Beast Dungeon.
The corrupted wyvern crashed toward Suho like a falling meteor while purple storms tore through the cavern ceiling.
Hunters screamed and scattered desperately.
But Suho remained still.
Because the shadow behind him had started changing.
Growing.
Expanding.
The darkness stretched unnaturally across the entire battlefield.
Even Fang stepped backward cautiously.
The corrupted wyvern’s glowing eyes narrowed.
“…So the king truly sleeps within you.”
Suho clenched his fists tightly.
“I said…”
“…STOP CALLING ME THAT!”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Shadow Fragment Resonance: 52%━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pain surged through his body instantly.
Dark energy burst from his chest violently.
“GHHHH—!!”
The cavern trembled.
His vision blurred for a moment.
Then suddenly— a deep voice echoed inside his mind.
“Destroy them.”
Suho froze.
That voice… was not the system.
Cold.
Ancient.
Absolute.
The corrupted wyvern smiled darkly.
“…You heard him.”
Before Suho could react— the wyvern attacked again.
Purple flames erupted from its mouth at point-blank range.
BOOOOOOM!!
But— a giant shadow arm suddenly rose from Suho’s darkness and blocked the attack completely.
Silence.
Everyone froze.
Even Suho stared in shock.
A massive armored silhouette had partially emerged from his shadow.
Only the upper body visible.
Gigantic.
Humanoid.
Its glowing purple eyes looked down at the battlefield emotionlessly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━???Shadow Authority Manifestation━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The corrupted wyvern actually stepped backward. This story is hosted at g.com.
Fear appeared in its eyes for the first time.
“…Impossible.”
The giant shadow moved slowly.
Then— it swung one arm.
BOOOOOOOOM!!
Pure darkness exploded forward and smashed the corrupted wyvern through multiple cavern walls instantly.
The entire dungeon shook violently.
Hunters stared speechlessly.
“What…”
“…was that?”
Suho himself looked horrified.
Because he hadn’t controlled it.
The giant shadow slowly looked down at him.
Then— it disappeared back into darkness.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Shadow Resonance Stabilized━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho fell to one knee breathing heavily.
His mana was nearly empty.
Cha Hae-In rushed beside him immediately.
“…Are you alright?”
Suho looked toward his own shadow silently.
“…I don’t know anymore.”
Far away— the corrupted wyvern slowly stood again from the rubble.
Its body was heavily damaged now.
One wing destroyed completely.
Purple blood poured from its chest.
But despite the injuries— it started laughing.
Low.
Distorted.
“…The king’s vessel is awakening faster than expected.”
Then suddenly— the dungeon itself began collapsing.
CRAAAAACK!!
Purple cracks spread across every wall.
The gate had become unstable.
The raid commander shouted immediately.
“Everyone retreat NOW!!”
Hunters quickly carried the injured and ran toward the exit portal.
The corrupted wyvern spread its damaged wings slowly.
“…We will meet again, successor.”
Then it flew upward into the collapsing darkness and vanished.
Suho narrowed his eyes.
“That thing escaped…”
Cha Hae-In looked toward him carefully.
“…it retreated from you.”
Minutes later— the surviving hunters escaped the collapsing dungeon successfully.
Emergency crews surrounded the area outside.
Association officials rushed everywhere.
Reporters screamed questions nonstop.
“What happened inside the dungeon?!”
“Was that really a mutated boss?!”
“Did an S-rank appear?!”
But the moment Suho exited the gate— silence spread among the nearby hunters.
Because his presence had changed again.
His mana felt heavier.
Darker.
More dangerous.
Several association officials immediately noticed.
One elderly inspector stepped forward nervously.
“…Hunter Sung Suho.”
“We need to speak with you immediately.”
Hours later— inside Hunter Association headquarters— multiple high-ranking officials sat around a large conference table.
Tension filled the room.
Files and mana reports covered the table completely.
One official adjusted his glasses slowly.
“…An E-rank hunter surviving multiple disaster-level incidents.”
Another spoke quietly.
“And controlling shadow creatures.”
A third official lowered his voice.
“His mana growth rate is abnormal.”
Silence followed.
Then finally— the chairman himself spoke.
“We can no longer ignore Sung Suho.”
He looked toward the classified report directly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Hunter Association Special Notice━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Subject:
Sung SuhoStatus:
Under Immediate ObservationPotential Threat Level:
Unknown━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Far away— outside the association building—
Suho stood alone beneath the night sky.
Rain slowly fell around him.
And beneath his feet— his shadow moved slightly on its own again.
Like something inside it had fully awakened.
