Fenrir's footsteps echoed through the crumbling school corridors as he sprinted toward the Dungeon Exploration Club.
The deeper he went, the clearer it became that the situation was far worse than he'd first assumed.
Claw marks raked the walls, lockers were torn apart, and the tile floors were cracked and gouged as though something huge had been dragging its limbs across them.
Several hallways were partially collapsed, chunks of ceiling hanging by a thread or already fallen to the ground.
The smell of blood, ash, and damp earth filled the air.
His system pinged again.
[Alert: Monster density in immediate vicinity rising. Estimated increase: 200% over last 10 minutes.]
Fenrir clicked his tongue in annoyance.
The dungeon had fully bled into the school now.
If he walked away, it wouldn't be long before the entire building was overrun. It might even spread beyond the school if left unchecked.
'Guess I'm handling this.'
Fenrir muttered to himself and picked up his pace.
