The countdown clock glared on every player's HUD.
[00:28] … [00:27] … [00:26]
Every heart in the Warden Guild thumped in time with it. Delta-9 was the last true stronghold the raid had—every other safe platform was either partially collapsed or already devoured by the void.
And now, it was next.
Ashen scanned the cracks forming underfoot. The moss-and-root flooring he'd summoned was already turning to static particles at the edges—reality was being peeled away like old wallpaper.
Mira (Warden Commander):
"Ashen, we can't move our people in thirty seconds! Some of them are mid-cooldown or stuck in Arkkhal's AoE!"
Valtheras:
"We leave the platform, we lose half our DPS uptime. We stay, we're deleted. Brilliant choice."
Jaecar:
"Give the word. I'll force a path."
