Gillian's crude remarks gave Rhode an idea.
An idea that he didn't consider feasible.
That wasn't odd. In previous battles, Rhode acted based on his experience when it was still a game, thus, he subconsciously didn't put much effort to think of new ideas.
He turned his head upwards towards the ceiling of the tunnel and noticed the decaying wooden beams supporting the entire tunnel. It seemed as if it would collapse if someone just shouted at the top of their voice. All the dust and sand leaked out from the earth above.
Previously, in the game, Rhode had never paid attention to these elements before since they were just special effects and ambiance, only being there for the player to immerse themselves in the game. For example, a mouth-savoring fruit couldn't fill the stomach because it was never real, to begin with.
However, now it was different.
And this allowed Rhode to envision an idea he would have never thought of before.
