Synopsis

The chapter shows the protagonist fighting inner demons, drawing on past experiences to reject a mental domination and finally ejecting a branded worm parasite. His team, with only three survivors, explores the newly reconfigured dungeon, now two days after their raid and low on resources. They theorize that the demon god cult has intentionally manipulated the dungeon to weaken them and that the two slaves who stole the Stake of Faith are key to escaping. Finally, the protagonist emerges from the boss room, ready to help his team.
