'Jump!'
That was good advice, because the soft carpet suddenly bulged beneath Ignotus and erupted, its spikes bursting up in rapid-fire rows.
A whole maze of polished black spikes surrounded him, all angled inward... at him.
Ignotus, now high in the air, in the middle of it all, stared at the nearest spike and said the most reasonable, well-thought-out thing:
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
His blood burst out of his body, surrounding him in the form of chains. He'd created a shielding dome moments before the spikes shot at him from all directions, wanting so desperately to make some holes across his entire body.
To further support that claim was the Demon's laughter that echoed everywhere.
"Getting tired yet, weak human? Please say no, you're quite fun!"
Ignotus braced, withstanding tens and tens of spikes at once.
"Trust me, you don't know just how much fun I'm having!"
