An Extra’s POV

Silence.

That was what came first.

Uncomfortable, overwhelming silence that sank into the depths of the minds of everyone who was witnessing what the fallen ones saw.

Then, once silence was all worn out… the next thing that came was horror.

Within the darkness of the Royal Dungeon, the fallen heroes could only helplessly watch as an overwhelming shadow stood before them.

The silhouette of a massive monstrosity that radiated nothing but sheer malevolence.

This would be the first time they were encountering such a thing.

And from the looks of it… it was fated to be their last.

[Several Days Earlier]

A few days had passed since the entire incident with Adonis.

Everyone was initially horrified and perplexed by what they saw, but after Adonis collapsed before them—barely breathing as he explained the situation—they could all understand better.

It seemed one of their own—Adam Sanchez—had plotted to kill Adonis.

His Skill responded in automatic self-defense and killed Adam before even the Hero could tell what was happening.

As Adonis described what had happened, it felt like he was sleep-walking.

The sensation felt unreal.

Of course, none of these explanations that were given took away the weight of a classmate's death.

It was still a tragedy.

However, learning that Adam was going to kill Adonis, and that Adonis wasn't in control of his actions, was enough to change the reactions of everyone.

The look of horror they gave Adonis soon faded, and the uncomfortably image of their beheaded classmate eventually took on a different flavor.
