What greeted Moon's vision was a vast, latticed chamber that stretched beyond his ability to perceive its full dimensions.
Thousands or perhaps tens of thousands of thin membrane walls extended in parallel rows, creating a pattern that resembled massive filter sheets. Between each delicate membrane, narrow gaps allowed blood to flow through in controlled channels, passing between the tissue layers.

She made urgent hand signals to Moon, her movements quick and precise. 'We can cut through the membranes. That's our exit to the outside.'
Moon nodded understanding, immediately channeling mana to form a wind blade. He released the compressed air attack toward the nearest membrane barrier in an attempt to test its durability.
