Capítulo 278: Story 278: The Crimson Dawn

The morning sun barely pierced the murky clouds as Damien and Mira huddled around a makeshift campfire, their silence thick with the weight of recent battles. A day had passed since their harrowing escape from the haunted military outpost, but the image of the undead soldiers still haunted Damien’s mind.

“Do you think it’s true?” Mira whispered, breaking the silence. “The rumors about the Crimson Dawn?”

Damien nodded, his jaw clenched. He had heard the tales of Crimson Dawn—a rumored underground stronghold where a cult, the Crimson Sect, claimed to control the undead through ancient magic. According to legends, they used forbidden rituals to summon and enslave creatures from beyond, turning them into living weapons. It was said that their leader, a mysterious woman known only as the Red Widow, had even figured out a way to control the Zombie King himself.
