Lenny stood on the fighting stand, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at the Corruptor.
But she turned away from him, dismissing his presence with a wave of her hand.
A soft, eerie light cut through the void around them, and a radiant orb materialized in her grasp. "As you are now, Lenny, you cannot control me, for crying out loud, you cannot even control your mind," she said, her voice smooth, laced with indifference. "Besides, I don't believe you're worthy."
Her words stirred a simmering rage in Lenny, but before he could respond, she continued, "However, I will gift you this orb. After all, it's what everyone who's entered this dungeon has sought." She raised her hand, and the orb floated in the air before him, glowing ominously.
Before Lenny could react or reach for it, the world around him shifted violently.
