When it comes to a shift in the situation, the question of who was most affected arises.
Lyle was the first to be excluded since ever since he entered the Hell Plane, he had been constantly on edge. The Hell Plane's dreadful natural environment, the rolling lava, the cunning monsters, and the Demon Race hooligans who could emerge from any place at any time, along with that assistant spirit which could take his life at any moment. In fact, Lyle felt less pressure after the situation truly turned into a struggle. It was not that the intensity of the pressure had changed, but rather that the hidden threats had been exposed, and the unknown is always the most terrifying.
So, the biggest change in the situation was actually for the Controllers in the stands of the Black Abyss Arena.
Because their racing game had turned into a fighting game, with occasional interludes of the Demon Race's lava barrage mini-games.
