The next floor of the dungeon greeted them with an oppressive aura. The air felt heavier, and the ground was a cracked, ashen gray, littered with the remains of previous battles. The walls seemed alive, pulsating faintly with a deep crimson glow, as if the dungeon itself was fueled by malevolent energy. A chilling roar echoed through the space, signaling the arrival of a new wave of monsters.
Alex, Sakuya, and Luna stood at the ready, their expressions calm yet determined.
"I'll go first," Sakuya announced, stepping forward and unsheathing her twin katanas. The dark blades shimmered, one humming with wind energy and the other crackling with spatial distortions.
"Show us what you've got," Alex said, crossing his arms and leaning casually against a jagged rock formation.
Luna grinned, plopping down on another rock with an exaggerated stretch. "Don't take too long. My turn's next."
