Elena's illusion maintained its facade, smiling at Grigor with an eerie sweetness as if she were truly alive.
The cavern seemed to reverberate with the cruel laughter of the demon god, reveling in the torment it had inflicted upon the unsuspecting human.
Francus's heart ached for his friend, who had been so desperate to see his loved one again.
He knew that they were ensnared in the nightmarish web of the Demonic Realm, where reality and illusion blurred into a surreal nightmare.
Desperation fueled Francus as he tried to break the illusion and free Grigor from the demon god's grasp.
"I have to do this. There is no other way!"
He aimed his blasters at the skeletal figure, firing precise shots meant to disrupt the illusion and reveal the truth.
