The crimson runes glowing on the vampire king's statue flared to life, pulsing like a heartbeat.
Ethan took a step back, eyes narrowing, hand dropping instinctively to the hilt of Warlord's Fang.
"System," he growled. "What the hell's happenin'?"
But there was no time for an answer.
With a thunderous BOOM, the statue exploded outward, shards of stone flying in all directions like
shrapnel. Reyna yanked Daniel down just as a chunk the size of a man's skull whistled over their
heads and slammed into the corrupted iron fence.
Dust billowed into the sky, a choking, blinding cloud. When it cleared, the statue was gone.
In its place yawned a massive stone doorway, revealed beneath the wreckage. A staircase wound
down into blackness, lit by a sinister glow pulsing like blood.
Ethan stared into the depths, a slow smirk curling his lips.
At that moment, a cool blue window flickered to life beside his face.
