{Gate Takeover Initiated}
{Gate difficulty increased from C- to B- Rank}
{Gate entrance has now been sealed and will remain locked until the Boss Beast is defeated}
The hoarse and powerful voice echoed throughout the giant underground chamber.
There was silence, then chaos erupted among the Titled squad.
"What the hell was that?!"
"Did you all hear that?!"
"The Gate-!"
"It's gone!!"
Ethan's head snapped toward the entrance.
The swirling rift they had entered through was gone completely without a trace; all that remained around them was solid rock.
"What the fuck is going on?!"
Panic spread instantly, voices overlapped as fear and confusion overcame many of them. Some staggered, while others raised their weapons, spinning around as if expecting something to attack at any moment.
And that hit Ethan even harder than the voice itself had.
'They heard it too.'
His heart almost leapt out of his chest.
