A heavy silence had taken over the command room.
No one spoke.
All eyes were locked onto the map floating in front of them, a map where nearly half of the glowing points had gone dark. Each point… an Awakened. Each one disappearing… a death.
Just moments ago, something had happened, and in a single instant, nearly half of those points vanished. In other words, almost half of the guild's Awakened had lost their lives in a single attack.
An event that not only spread fear among their forces on the battlefield, but also increased the tension, anger, and concern among the guild's leaders inside the command room.
Lana slammed her hands onto the table. The sound echoed through the room.
"What was that…?!" her voice trembled, not just from fear, but more from anger.
Her eyes were still wide, her breathing uneven, and if she took even one more step forward, she might have rushed straight onto the battlefield herself.
