At that instant.
It was as though their hearts had stopped beating.
Death was closer than ever...
Boundless silence.
But in that very instant, the previously dormant Crimson Magic Array suddenly flared, and an immensely powerful, terrifying surge of evil erupted from the Blood Array.
Crack-
A tremendous cracking sound rang out.
Directly above the Crimson Magic Array, a pitch-black rift suddenly split open.
An intense, sinister chill from the Dark World instantly enveloped the entire corridor, and the arrival of that presence actually halted the surging Dark Tide.
The Medium shuddered violently and staggered back, her eyes filled with trembling terror.
The Dead Realm...
This was... the gate to the Dead Realm!
The gate to the Dead Realm had been opened!
The Demon Ghost possessing her trembled desperately, trying to force her to retreat, because for the Evil Entities of the surface world, the Dead Realm was practically hell!
They had opened the gates of hell!
And in the very next instant, blood-red tentacles spilled out and seized both sides of the rift, as though some murderous monster was trying to force its way into this world.
Szzzzzz-
The sounds of growing flesh and an earsplitting mechanical whirring kept rising from within the rift.

They backed away, their faces pale and their bodies ice-cold, terror crawling over them like a spiderweb.
"Bai-Yi!!"
A savage voice brimming with murderous intent came from within the rift.
At the sound of that voice, the densely packed monsters and Demon Ghosts surging in from the doorway all showed expressions of terror.
It was as though the being inside that rift was a terrifying monster of an even higher order than they were.
