"WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!"
Frila's scream echoed through the dungeon corridor as she pressed herself against the stone wall, her spatial manipulation abilities creating a defensive barrier that barely held against the overwhelming pressure radiating from deeper within.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Velraeth's maniacal laughter rang out, followed immediately by...
*BOOOOOMMM!!!*
An explosion of crimson energy painted the tunnel walls with visceral reality, the shockwave strong enough to make Frila's ears ring.
'How did we get here?'
The thought flashed through her mind with desperate confusion.
'How did a simple dungeon dive turn into... into THIS?!'

Frila's mouth fell open as she watched Nero's fist connect with a B-tier Razorclaw Tiger's skull with enough force to crater the bone inward.
The monster's head literally caved in on itself, brain matter and blood exploding outward in a gruesome spray that painted the dungeon floor crimson.
