Raven didn't linger.
The moment Arvax's core dimmed and the subjugation sealed, he swept the drops into his inventory with mechanical efficiency—no inspection, no sorting. A single glance at the raid log confirmed what he needed. Even though the dungeon boss had been subjugated, the quest wasn't finished yet—and the Flaying Tiger guild could still be on his trail.
He was already turning to leave—until something caught his eye—deep in the corner, a shoulder pauldron. He smirked before picking it up. Yet here it was: another drop from NekoNekoNyan, the second time. Without hesitation, he slipped it into his inventory.
He turned.
There was still one more room—the dungeon's quest, or whatever was left of it. And with the chaos he'd just created, it wouldn't be long before any remaining Flaying Tiger guild members tried to force their way in.
Emberforge still stood behind him, steam venting from its shoulders, watching.
Raven gave it a simple nod.
"Stay here."
