A wounded hunter sat against a cargo container while slowly tightening fresh bandages around his stomach wound. Blood still leaked through the cloth despite his efforts.

Nearby, another man tried to hide the tremor in his hands while forcing himself to clean venom residue from his armor.

Further away, a younger porter quietly helped his injured brother drink water while pretending not to notice how shallow his breathing had become.

Nobody talked about the possibility of dying anymore.

    Shawn turned his attention back toward Alexis and Halmer.“The spider colony should already be moving toward this station by now,” he said casually. “Once they arrive, whatever survivors remain here will disappear along with the evidence.”A faint smile crossed his face again.“And when the Lance family eventually finds your bodies…”His eyes settled directly on Alexis.“…this entire expedition will look like nothing more than another unfortunate outland disaster.”No one spoke afterward.Because everyone inside the station understood the truth now.This was no longer a survival mission.It was a countdown to slaughter.Alexis stared at Shawn as though she were looking at a stranger wearing human skin.The weight of his confession crashed into her harder than any monster attack they had survived since entering the outlands. For several seconds, her mind struggled to process the reality standing in front of her.This expedition had never been about rescue.It had never been an explorat

    Shawn casually brushed dust from his sleeve before speaking. “Well,” he said with a faint sigh, “I suppose there’s no longer any reason to continue pretending.” Halmer’s expression hardened with visible disgust. “You filthy bastard.” Shawn laughed quietly. “You know,” he said while stepping forward slowly, “working under you all these years was genuinely exhausting.” The surrounding hunters stiffened immediately. Halmer’s eyes sharpened dangerously. “…Careful what you say next.” But Shawn no longer looked remotely intimidated. The respect that once existed in his posture had completely disappeared. What remained was contempt. “You spent your entire life preaching loyalty and honor like those words actually matter in the outlands,” Shawn said mockingly. “Every speech. Every order. Every lecture.” His eyes darkened slightly. “But all I ever saw was an old man desperately clinging to principles that stopped meaning anything years ago.” Several nearby hunters reacted immed

    The underground cargo station had fallen into a silence that felt almost unbearable. It was not the silence of safety or rest. It was the silence of something slowly collapsing from the inside. Weak emergency lamps flickered inconsistently along the cracked walls, their unstable light washing the underground chamber in dull shades of orange and gray. Cold wind drifted through the shattered sections of the ceiling far above, carrying ash, dust, and the distant smell of burned flesh deeper into the station. The ruined shelter looked less like a temporary refuge and more like a grave waiting to close. Broken cargo containers lay scattered across damaged train tracks. Rusted support beams groaned occasionally under the weight of fractured concrete overhead. Bloodstains stretched across the floor where wounded hunters had been dragged earlier, and exhausted survivors sat scattered throughout the station in small groups, their faces pale beneath the dim light. The poison was getting w

    Slowly, Miles tightened his grip around the hunter’s fist. For a brief moment, the terminal fell silent. Then Miles finally spoke. “So that’s all I needed to confirm.” The hunter frowned in confusion. “What are you talking about?” Miles’ grip tightened further. A sharp cracking sound echoed through the terminal as the bones in the hunter’s hand shattered under the pressure. The hunter’s face twisted violently in pain and disbelief. “What are you doing?!” Miles stepped forward calmly. There was no anger in his expression. No excitement. Only complete control. “I was never testing your strength,” he said quietly. “I was confirming the source of your energy.” The hunter tried pulling away, but Miles held him in place effortlessly. Panic finally appeared in the hunter’s eyes. “That’s impossible,” he muttered. “You were weaker than me a moment ago.” Miles looked at him silently before answering. “I was never fighting seriously.” A faint shift passed through the surroundin

    For a brief moment, both men remained locked in place. Then the hunter smirked. “You’re too slow now,” he said, his voice carrying renewed confidence. With a brutal twist of force, he threw Miles backward. Miles rotated in midair before landing in a low crouch several meters away. His boots scraped violently across the damaged floor as he stabilized himself, leaving long marks through the concrete. The hunter gave him no time to recover. He lunged forward with explosive speed that distorted the space between them. It did not look like teleportation, but the acceleration was so sudden that the distance separating them collapsed unnaturally. A heavy fist slammed directly into Miles’ guard. The impact exploded through the terminal like a small detonation and sent Miles skidding backward again. His boots dug deep into the fractured floor while he absorbed the force through his arms. Before he could fully regain balance, another attack came from a different angle. Then another.

    The red capsule did not dissolve like normal medicine. It cracked. Then it burned. A thin red mist escaped from the A rank hunter’s mouth as he swallowed it, and for a moment the entire terminal felt like it had been dipped into something unnatural. The air thickened, not with mana pressure alone, but with a presence that did not belong in the natural flow of energy. Miles noticed it immediately his eyes sharpened. That was not normal mana. It felt wrong and corrupted. Not corrupted in the usual sense of unstable technique or overdrawn internal energy, but something deeper, something that carried a familiar instinct For a brief second, nothing happened. Then the hunter’s entire body convulsed violently. A disturbing cracking sound echoed from inside his body as his spine arched backward unnaturally. His muscles tightened so hard that the veins across his neck and arms began darkening rapidly, spreading beneath his skin like black ink flooding through his bloodstream. He slo
