Dungeon leveling (Solo Leveling)

part 3

The hunters stood frozen inside the vast, circular stone chamber. Statues lined the walls — unmoving, silent. At the far end sat a towering statue on a throne carved from dark stone. It had a crown on its head and Its eyes were wide open but motionless.

jun slowly looked at the vaporized hunters with fear.

SUNG(whispering)
everyone listen i think the satue on the throne is like a god to the other statues. just look how the others are kneeling at every corner and that ones on a throne.

The god statue eyes moved slowly toward Jun and a beam of light suddenly shot close to Jun.
The attack hit like a cannon. The shockwave shattered stone and armor.

Sung was blown off his feet, slamming into a pillar.

When he hit the ground, pain shot through every nerve.

He gasped, blinking through smoke and blood.

And then… silence.

No shouts. No weapons clashing.

Sung turned his head slowly, barely able to move.

Bodies lay scattered across the chamber.

Jun — burned and broken.

Han and Lee — motionless, crushed beneath rubble.

Satoru — limbs twisted, eyes wide in shock, unmoving.

And then he saw—

Mia.

Face-down. Her staff shattered beside her. Her hand stretched toward him, fingers lifeless,.

SUNG (whispers):
“I wasn’t… supposed to die… not yet…”

> Not before saving Mom… Not before paying for my sister’s college…

The statue’s Eyes began to glow again.

Another blast was coming.

Sung clenched his teeth.

> I’m going to die here…

Suddenly—

A chime echoed in his ears.

A glowing blue screen appeared in front of his fading vision.
