An Extra’s POV

623 Deepest Depths

The Elves witnessed it all.

The sight of nature in its purest form was burned into their minds.

They saw how Monsters devoured fellow Monsters, and how cruel the entire process could be. The world within the Dungeon was unforgiving—certainly not for the faint of heart or weak in spirit.

It was a complete nightmare.

Rey took them through paths, traversing various Floors so they could see even more of the calamity occur right before their eyes.

Some of them protested, desiring more than anything to leave the horrid place, but they were all ignored.

"You can leave if you want." They were told, but none of them dared to step a foot outside the only shroud of protection that they currently had.

They also couldn't attack Rey. If they did, and the barrier collapsed, they were pretty much done for too. As a result, they all followed him obediently—like sheep in a herd.

Finally, after reaching the entrance to the Bottom Floor of the Dungeon, they finally halted their long and frightening journey.

"C-can we go back now?"

"I'm so tired… and hungry…"

"My legs hurt. This place stinks. I want to go home."

Rey tuned out their whinings and focused on the door that stood in front of him. It was a double door, one he had to push from both sides to open. The thick stony surface showed just how strong of a barrier it was—and how heavy the doors were.
