Chapter 6: Facing the Challenges
A roar shook the subway tunnel, deep, echoing from the left side.
KiRA's ears pricked in an instant, he could recognize this sound even in his sleep.
It was the kind of bellow that'd haunted his initial runs through the Tower of Beginning. The Elite monster of this dungeon was coming, and it wasn't messing around.
"Uni, get ready," he said, his voice low. He'd hoped to just chill and let his traps do the work, but this thing wasn't some dumb rat.
It was a Goblin Champion, a lazy brute by nature, but the fact it was charging straight for his trap? That screamed trouble.
"Uni, get into position."
This one wasn't an easy opponent, but more than the difficulty of handing the being, he knew if left alone, the creature would destroy the trap he had worked so hard to create.

[Skill effect: (+Fire attribute) will be applied to the target.]
The air around KiRA warmed, a faint red glow wrapping his Gloves of Jasper. Attributes weren't just fancy magic: they were raw power, boosting everything from his attacking strength to the impact of his golden threads. With Unity's fire buff, those strings weren't just sharp; they were scorching.
