Black smoke swallowed the ruined ballroom afterward while burning curtains and shattered marble collapsed endlessly around terrified students fleeing desperately through broken exits beneath screaming sirens echoing outside across the university grounds.
The monstrous silhouette kept rising slowly afterward from the underground crater beneath Blackwood Hall while countless glowing eyes flickered faintly through drifting darkness and ancient rotten breath poisoned the entire air.
Nobody stayed brave anymore.
Not Ava.
Not Valeria.
Not the students who mocked Elara earlier afterward beneath cruel laughter and fake confidence.
Fear stripped humans naked quickly afterward beneath real horror and supernatural terror clawing openly through reality itself.
Ethan stood frozen protectively before Elara afterward while shaking hands clenched tightly beside bruised ribs beneath the collapsing fraternity ruins and violent underground growling.
God.
Every instinct screamed running now.
