Chapter 43: The Plan Unfolds

Cindy's gaze sharpened as she stared at the monsters roaming the field below. "They all have the same dark energy around them," she said, her voice calm but focused. 

Andrew followed her line of sight, his expression darkening. "Yeah, I see it too," he replied. "Do you think they're linked to that man? The way they're moving... it's like he's controlling them." He hesitated, then added, "What if he can open rifts to other worlds or... create monsters?" 

Cindy shook her head slowly. "I don't think these are monsters. Not really. More like spawns. Temporary, disposable, but still dangerous enough to cause chaos." 

Andrew rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his gaze shifting back to the creatures. "If that's true, then… what if this is all part of a bigger plan? Would the Grand System assign us a mission if these spawns were out here causing destruction? Maybe it's all a distraction—so that guy could ambush us while we're off-guard?"
