Chapter 129 - 125. The Seed of God
At the site of the dungeon where the [Hagalaz] squad of Trinity went in, a plethora of people congregated. Guild’s staff, government agents, researchers, journalists, and even the Mobius.
None were civilians, for the place had been off-limits for the general public. A state of emergency had been erected around the site, although thankfully, the gate was located at a field outside the northern wall, away from the residential area.
Five days ago, the dungeon gate suddenly changed. It wasn’t changed to red, but all the way to a black gate. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the gate was closed. It refused any entry, so even Trinity couldn’t send in their espers to support and rescue the trapped raiding squad, including their prized guide.
For these five days, the news had been filled with the talk of the tragedy. Yes, a tragedy; for such an extreme anomaly to happen to their top squad, dragging their best guide, while Bassena Vaski was away in the tower. It was a trainwreck of bad things happening all at the same time. Even Mortix’s stocks in the market took a hit because of it.
After days without any change, suddenly the black gate pulsed, undulating a huge amount of mana wave like one giant organ about to erupt on the fifth day.
Not long after, a Mortix car entered the site, and Trinity’s 5-star healer came out hurriedly.
"Hyung!" he immediately ran toward the Mobius’s Captain standing in front of the pulsing gate, who was watching the black portal intently. "What happened?"
Han Joon shook his head. "Not sure. But from the way the mana wave had been acting, it feels like a collapse."
"Collapse..." Han Shin sucked a deep breath, black eyes wide and shaking.
"It just depends on what manner of collapse it is," Han Joon sighed at the swirling black portal. "Whether they manage to conquer the gate, or--"
"Or a dungeon break," an agent from the sentinel association chimed in.
