Checkmate
Ava was being held upside down by the Blood Skitter, blood running down the side of her head.Cain's eyes widened slightly at the sight of the blood skitter standing upright.'What the hell happened to it?'The last time he had seen the creature, it had moved on all fours like the other Blood Midges.But now it stood almost like a person.Even so, the Blood Skitter wasn't without injuries.An ice spike was embedded deep into its shoulder, a massive gash along its side continuously spilling blood, while a visible crack stretched across part of its face, making it clear the girls had pushed the creature hard before he arrived.But it was still alive.Meanwhile, they kept falling one after another, making the situation increasingly hopeless.The Blood Skitter itself remained oddly motionless, though not by choice.Avery was holding it in place with her ability, her body visibly trembling from the strain as she prevented the creature from finishing off her sister.Cain didn't hesitate.

Blaze Burst
"Crap!"Cain's eyes widened in shock as the final Blood Midge accelerated suddenly, moving far faster than the others had.Its blade-like pincer shot toward his chest, and Cain barely managed to twist his body aside in time, narrowly avoiding a fatal hit. But the creature's elongated limb immediately followed through, slamming violently into his side before he could fully recover his balance.However, the instant contact was made, a violent burst of flames exploded outward from Cain's body at point-blank range, crashing directly into the Blood Midge and sending it hurtling backward across the tunnel.Cain staggered several steps, pain flaring through his ribs as he gritted his teeth and instinctively pressed a hand against the area that had been struck.Then his expression tightened.'What the hell just happened?'The answer came to him almost immediately, and he pulled up the description of one of the new skills he had awakened after reaching level 30.[Blaze Burst – D Rank]The user
Into the Nightmare
At first, all Hera felt was movement. Her body rocked violently with every leap as a sharp pain throbbed through the side of her head, while freezing cave air rushed harshly across her face.Then came the metallic scent of blood.And after that, the low vibrating hum of wings beating somewhere above her."...What is happening?"The thought surfaced sluggishly as her eyes slowly opened. Then everything came rushing back.The Blood Skitter.Hera's eyes snapped fully open, and the moment she realized she was being carried by the same creature that had knocked her out, her expression hardened.One of the creature's elongated limbs was wrapped tightly around her waist as it sped through the tunnels, dragging her deeper into the maze.Dread settled heavily in her chest.Without hesitation, mana surged through her body, and instantly, frost exploded outward.A violent wave of ice spread from her skin, rapidly climbing across the Blood Skitter's limb and freezing over the chitin restraining
Taken
Cain's eyes widened in shock as a crimson blur slammed into Hera and sent her crashing violently against the cave wall.He turned fully just in time to see her body slide down the stone, frost spreading rapidly across the point of collision.Even in that instant, Hera had managed to reduce part of the impact using her ice, the wall around her partially frozen from the sudden release of mana. But it hadn't been enough.Blood trickled down the side of her head, and her body hung limply against the wall, completely unconscious.Before Cain could even move a muscle, the Blood Skitter vanished again.Its limbs snapped forward with terrifying speed, hooking around Hera's body with unnatural precision before sharply veering into one of the branching tunnels, dragging her deeper into the maze.Cain felt his stomach drop.Less than five seconds.That was all it had taken for the creature to incapacitate one of their strongest fighters and abduct her right in front of them."Hera!" Ava shouted t
Reawakening
Cain was taken aback, questions immediately flooding his mind. ‘So he knew who I was? Since when? From the beginning? Recently? Just now?’ There was no way to tell. Isaac let out a short snort, clearly amused by the confused expression on Cain's face. "How many other people named Cain have you heard of, you bastard?" Cain's eyes widened slightly as the realization settled. ‘That was true.’ His name wasn't common, and using it so casually made it far too easy to link him to the Cain Wright who had been humiliated on television. He should have stuck with his alias. That alone would have made it harder to draw the connection, but he had exposed himself without thinking. A careless mistake. "How did you do it?" Isaac pressed. "I saw you awaken as an E-rank… low-tier heal, wasn't it?" A faint chill ran through Cain. ‘This was bad.’ If Isaac—or anyone else—started talking about the sudden jump in his rank after the raid, it would draw attention he couldn't afford. ‘Should I den
Breaking Point
"If they are tracking us," he said, his voice lower now, more measured, "then tell me… how do you think they're doing it?" The tension in the air rose. It seemed like everyone had the same suspicion. Cain sniffed lightly, as if testing the air again, before giving the slightest hint. "What answer do you want to hear?" Barack's expression hardened almost immediately, the shift in his face sharp and unwelcoming. Before the moment could stretch any further, Adel stepped forward, placing herself between them, cutting the direct line of tension before it could escalate. "If the Blood Skitter can track us somehow, then there's no point in running, is there?" she said, her voice steady despite the situation. "We should stand and fight. I believe we can take it down together." ‘Or get rid of the one leading them straight to us.’ The thought crossed Cain's mi
