A Dying Flame

Enigma was surprised on their journey into the Despair Abyss.

The passage to the inside spanned at least a few hundred miles. Such a distance should've been but a blink for a spaceship.

Even though this 'tunnel' was covered by countless dark green vines that were attacking them relentlessly, Irene's armor had successfully defended them against the attacks. They should've moved out in a split second.

But at some point, a set of purple vines attacked the ship. These were incredibly strong. Just a slap by these vines shook the space and split the sky.

When faced with another attack on top of the original one, the momentum of the ship plummeted to the point they moved a mile every few seconds.

But instead of worrying about their travel, the hundred level 8s, and a couple of level 9s in the spaceship were also looking at the woman on the platform.
