An Extra’s POV

"Haaa… haaa…"

A young, dark-haired man stood at the center of what appeared to be a corpse-party.

He had a dark mask on his face, and his eyes glowed bright crimson, even as his hair fell and covered his face.

In this hellish world, one filled with unimaginable heat, steam, and flaming geysers, the young man leaked out a musty sigh and chuckled.

"Hehehe… hahaha… hahahahahaha!!!"

Gleaning Monster Cores appeared around him, and the destroyed bodies of what appeared to be crimson-looking monkeys—a striking variant of the Monkey Monsters and BigFoot Monsters

These ones had very dark dirt and crimson bodies. Their bodies were a mess now, all of their innards strewn around and cooked by the intense heat in the area.

"Looks like I made it in time!" The cackling boy smirked as he looked ahead to see a crawling figure.

The Boss Monster—a massive Crimson Bigfoot—was trying to crawl away after three of its four total limbs had been severed.

Right now, it only saw one option… RUN!

Unfortunately for the beast, not even that was a viable option.

"[Force]."

The Boss Monster suddenly lost control over its battered body, feeling itself get pulled back despite all attempts to advance.

It screamed at the top of its lungs for help, but…

~FWUUSH!~

… There was no one to listen.

"G-gurrruk!"

It was the strongest in that Floor, and now it was the only one remaining.

~SQUELCH!~

A hand dug through its chest, causing hot blood to flow out like a faucet.

The monster could feel as its Core was grabbed and forcefully yanked out.

This was the end.

"G-gurrrr…k…."
