Chapter 163: Chapter 163: She did that?

[WARNING! WARNING!]A-RANK DUNGEON HAS APPEARED. ALL NON-AWAKENED PERSONNEL EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!

Panic spread through the crowd. People murmured in confusion. "What's going on?!" someone asked. "Why here?!"

The noise grew louder as more people pushed against each other. "This can't be happening!" a woman yelled, clutching her child tightly.

"Why is this happening in the non-awakened area?" another voice cried. "There are so many people here!"

He could feel the fear all around me as people rushed toward the exits, their footsteps echoing in the mall. Screams broke out, filling the air with a sense of danger.

"Everyone, stay calm!" a voice said over the intercom, but it didn't help. "Please evacuate in an orderly manner!"

"Orderly? Are you serious?" a young man shouted, rushing toward the nearest exit. "We're all going to die!"

A desperate scream rang out as a mother lost her grip on her son's hand in the crowd. "Jordan! Come back!" she cried, panic in her voice as she pushed her way through the throngs of people.

"Get to the back!" someone shouted, pointing toward a hallway. "They're coming this way!" S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Who's coming?" a woman yelled, her voice filled with terror. "What do we do?"

"We can't stay here!" a man yelled, looking pale as he pushed through the crowd. "We need to get out now!"

As the alarm echoed through the mall. Before he could react, the ground beneath him shook violently. An earthquake. His first thought was his mother.

Without hesitation, Seojun activated his skill, instantly appearing beside his mom and he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.

"Hey! What the?!" the man beside her shouted in confusion, stepping back.

Seoyang, surprised, tried to pull away, but before she could ask who he was, the floor beneath them cracked. The second floor began to collapse.

Seojun held his mother tightly, shielding her with his body as they both fell. Dust and debris filled the air, and Seoyang, still in shock, couldn't process what had just happened.

"Who... who are you?" she stammered, her voice shaky as they landed on the ground below.

Seojun didn't answer right away, focusing on keeping them both safe as the ceiling above them groaned, ready to fall.

'I don't want Mom to get angry to me because I'm stalking them' he thought.

As the earthquake is gone, dust filled the air, making it hard to see. Seojun stood up, coughing slightly as he scanned the chaos around him. People were screaming, running in all directions, terrified. Some were stumbling over fallen debris while others tried to help those trapped under rubble.

The guy with seoyang pulled her away from him, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"What do you think your doing?!" the man shouted, stepping between them.

Seojun ignored him, his gaze fixed on Seoyang. "Please, leave the mall," he urged, his voice calm despite the panic around them.

"B-But who are you?" Seoyang asked, her voice shaking with fear and confusion.

"It doesn't matter right now. Let's just leave, now." Seojun said firmly, pushing the two of them toward the exit.

Just as they started to run, a deafening screech echoed through the mall. Seojun's eyes widened as several insect-like monsters burst through the floor, their huge, spiny legs smashing everything in their path. The creatures moved fast, slashing through anyone in their way.

Seojun sense that it's not safe in there and grabbed both Seoyang and the man. In an instant, they teleported back to the second floor, away from the monsters.

Everything is in Chaos, People were screaming and scrambling to escape as more of the insect monsters crawled through the building, tearing through walls and crushing anyone in their path. Seojun could see bodies on the ground, some already lifeless, others desperately trying to crawl away.

The insect monsters that filled the mall were terrifying, resembling giant mutated mantises. Their sharp, scythe-like forearms glistened under the dim light, ready to slice through anything in their path.

Their elongated bodies were armored with a hard, black exoskeleton, and their wings beat furiously, creating strong gusts of wind that sent people flying. The creatures had long antennae that twitched as they searched for movement, and their glowing green eyes seemed to scan the area with deadly focus.

"Let's go there!" the man with Seoyang pointed and shouted. It was the only place that wasn't crawling with insect-like monsters. As they rushed forward, Seoyang spotted an elderly couple struggling amidst the chaos.

Without thinking, she sprinted toward them.

"Seoyang No!" the man shouted, panic in his voice.

At the same moment, Seojun cursed under his breath, "Shit!" A massive mantis was about to strike the couple.

In an instant, Seojun teleported, landing between them and the mantis. Just as he to kick the monster and flew away he noticed that before it flew away. A gust of wind sliced through the air, severing the mantis's arm.

He frowned as he turned, spotting his mother lowering her hand casually.

The man ran over, helping the elderly couple to their feet and guiding them into the supermarket.

'Did... Mother just do that?' Seojun thought, still in shock.

[Yes, host. It seems Lady Seoyang is hiding a lot from us.]

As Seojun, Seoyang, and they guy with her rushed into the supermarket, the buzzing grew louder.

They entered, several people came flying toward them, thrown by the powerful gusts from the monsters' wings. Seojun's eyes widened as he saw people slammed into walls, their bodies crashing with terrifying force.

Seojun quickly cast a barrier around his mother and the elder couple, shielding her from the chaos. The barrier shimmered for a moment as one person crashed into it but bounced off harmlessly.

The guy with Seoyang wasn't as fortunate. One of the people hurled through the air by the mantises' wings struck him directly, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"John!" Seoyang screamed, her voice filled with panic, as she rushed to his side. Both of them were now on the floor, trying to get back up as the monstrous mantises moved closer, their deadly scythes slicing through the air, ready to attack anyone in their way.
