The corrupted gate swallowed the raid team whole.
Cold darkness surrounded them instantly.
The moment Suho stepped inside— his instincts screamed.
Something was wrong.
Very wrong.
The dungeon looked nothing like a normal gate.
There were no caves.
No ruins.
No monster nests.
Instead— an enormous dead city stretched endlessly beneath a black sky.
Broken skyscrapers leaned sideways.
Destroyed highways floated unnaturally in the air.
Purple mist covered the streets like poison.
Silence filled the entire world.
Several hunters froze immediately.
“…What is this place?”
“A city dungeon?”
Cha Hae-In slowly scanned the surroundings.
“No…”
“…this feels artificial.”
The raid commander frowned deeply.
“Stay together.”
“Do not separate under any circumstances.”
Suho quietly looked upward.
Dark cracks covered the sky itself.
Almost like reality had been stitched together incorrectly.
Then— the system activated suddenly.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Special Dungeon Detected━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Type:
Collapsed Dimension━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Suho’s eyes narrowed.
“Collapsed… dimension?”
Before he thought further—
SCREEEEEECH!!
A horrifying scream echoed through the ruined city.
Every hunter immediately raised their weapons.
Movement appeared between the broken buildings.
Then— dozens of corrupted creatures emerged from the darkness.
Their bodies looked humanoid but twisted unnaturally.
Long claws.
Distorted limbs.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Corrupted Citizens Detected━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“They’re coming!”
The monsters charged instantly.
Chaos exploded across the street.
Hunters activated magic circles.
Sword auras flashed through the darkness.
Explosions shattered nearby buildings.
Suho summoned his shadow soldiers immediately.
“Fang.”
ROOOOAR!!
The giant shadow beast rushed forward and tore through multiple corrupted creatures instantly.
Dark blood splattered across the ruined streets.
The B-rank hunters nearby stared in shock.
“That shadow summon is insane…”
Suho moved simultaneously.
WHOOSH!!
Mana Reinforcement activated.
He sliced through corrupted enemies one after another with terrifying speed.
But something felt strange.
Too easy.
The monsters were attacking recklessly— almost like distractions.
Then suddenly—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Warning━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Boss Entity Approaching━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The system flashed blood-red.
Suho froze instantly.
“…Everyone move!”
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
An entire skyscraper collapsed nearby.
The ground shattered violently.
Hunters screamed while trying to dodge the debris.
Then— a gigantic hand burst out from beneath the ruined streets.
Silence spread instantly.
Another hand followed.
Then slowly— something massive pulled itself upward from underground.
A giant humanoid creature.
At least twenty meters tall.
Its body was covered in black armor-like skin.
Chains wrapped around its arms and torso.
And in the center of its chest— a glowing purple core pulsed like a heartbeat.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Hidden Boss Revealed━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Executioner of the Ruined CityThreat Level: DISASTER━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“T-That thing…”
“…It’s a boss monster?!”
The giant creature slowly opened glowing purple eyes.
Then looked directly at Suho.
Not the other hunters.
Only him.
The giant monster spoke in a deep distorted voice.
“…Successor…”
Suho clenched his fists.
Again.
Another one recognizing him.
The giant executioner slowly raised one chained arm.
Then—
BOOOOOOOM!!
The entire street exploded beneath the impact.
Hunters were thrown everywhere.
Several instantly injured.
Cha Hae-In barely blocked the shockwave using mana reinforcement.
“This thing’s power is ridiculous!”
The executioner attacked again.
Each movement shook the ruined city itself.
One B-rank hunter charged bravely toward it.
“Together we can—”
CRASH!!
The giant’s fist crushed him instantly.
Silence.
Pure terror spread across the raid team.
Suho’s eyes sharpened.
“This isn’t a normal boss.”
The system flickered again.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Special Objective Updated━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Survive Hidden Boss Encounter━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Survive.
Not defeat.
Even the system considered this thing beyond them.
Then suddenly— the giant executioner pointed toward Suho slowly.
Chains rattled violently around its body.
“…The king’s shadow…”
“…must return.”
Purple energy exploded from the monster’s core.
The ruined city began trembling violently.
And deep beneath the dungeon— something even larger started waking up.
