Mostly unphased by that demon's graphic display toward Isaac, he continued deeper into the crypts. The darkness washed over him again when he left that lit room and continued through the passageways before finding himself in a pitch black room. Isaac thought he could hear whispers in the shadows. He heard voices whispering strange things. He couldn't tell if they were whispering about him or at him but it was a bit unnerving given Isaac wouldn't have much time to react to an attack.
Irritated by this, Isaac decided to go on the offensive. He began channeling light into his hammer before throwing it high into the air as if it were a lightweight ball. The hammer stopped at the peak of its height before emitting a brilliant flash of light. The beams of light illuminated the room, burning away the darkness which made this room its home. The whispers stopped and the room remained lit as a result of the hammer's magic. Isaac could see the darkness slowing seeping back into the lit room, and stopped its progression by drawing a warding circle into the room, establishing Isaac's 3rd and final base camp he had prepared. With a reprieve from the madness of this dungeon, Isaac had time to relax and contemplate his next move.
The tunnels he traversed were winding and confusing, but Isaac knew he was making his way deeper to the core of the crypt. Isaac was still surprised he managed to make it so deep with almost no real confrontation. Looking into the room's exits, Isaac had a strong feeling one of the exits would lead him to the central tomb - his final destination. Isaac knew that he had a momentous battle ahead of him. Isaac was determined to destroy this evil after what it did to him. He thought this as he cupped his new genitalia with his hand. It looked so fragile - so gentle on such a strong paladin like himself. Isaac knew the paladin's welcomed both genders, but his confusing case might stir up trouble when he returned. He would need to find a fix for this problem or simply hide it for the rest of his career.
