And that wasn't even the worst of it.
Behind the Puppet Sovereign Kane, several more figures stepped out of the shadows—each one radiating terrifying power. Among them were multiple Tier 14 SS-rank Crimson Ultimate Heroes… and even a Tier 14 SSS-rank.
But the one that made everyone's blood run cold?
Mordrakar.
The name alone was enough to send a chill down the spine. This wasn't just some high-tier lackey—this was the Overlord-class powerhouse who had appeared earlier in the Dungeon's throne hall. A monster who had already reached Tier 15.
"Tier 15?" Mordrakar scoffed, his voice low and disdainful. "So what?"
He turned to Kane, completely unfazed by Elira's presence.
"Kane, let's stick to our deal. Double the reward, as we agreed. She's strong, sure—but with the two of us? She's dead meat."
He smirked, then added with a casual arrogance that made everyone's skin crawl, "And if we manage to kill her, I'll even split her Primordial Force with you. Half and half."
