Outside the ruined entrance, the scene had already changed completely.
Broken stone lay everywhere. Blood ran in dark lines across the ground, and bodies in Black Star headbands were scattered around the collapsed opening. Some had lost limbs. Some were cut cleanly. Some looked like they had been smashed apart by raw force.
Standing near the entrance were members of ChaosKnight.
ChaosCleric had one hand on his hip and the other raised slightly as he stared at the carnage with his mouth half open. Beside him stood the usual silent Vv and one nervous player who kept glancing from the bodies to the tunnel below.
"What in the seven seas is going on here?" ChaosCleric blurted out.
He turned sharply toward the player beside him. "This is the place, right? You said you spotted White Phantom around here."
The player nodded quickly. "Yes. I had a mission nearby and saw him heading this way. I knew it was him, so I reported it right away."
