CRAAASH!
Elayne dug deeper into the sea of self-regenerating flesh, finding hundreds of screaming faces and hands rushing to grab her.
However, her spinning descent unleashed a thunderous aura, burning everything in her path as she found an open section where a pitch-black "core" floated in midair.
From within the "core," she could feel the presence of a powerful being.
"Y-YOU?! HOW DID YOU EVEN...! TSK! GET OUT!"
The entity panicked, releasing a stream of demonic light toward Elayne, but she used her shield and weapon to defend herself while charging with her claws and hitting the floating sphere.
CLASH!
RUMBLE!
A tremor of energy erupted. Pure, condensed cursed energies struck Elayne, but she was much more resilient than everyone else.
"What are you? Where did you come from? Do you serve the Demon King of Death?"
"The Demon King of Death is merely a contractor!"
