The moment Sam used his smite skill a flash of light traversed the Shadowlands allowing the Dungeon Raiders to see the horrifying shadows that hunted them making it seem as though time had stopped for a second. Albeit their exposure to light was brief, their wicked pictures would remain forever in their nightmares. Even Luna whom as a cryptozoologist could see the value of that glimpse of the horrors of the void almost had her mind shattered due to the mounting horror of the picture.
The instant Sam fell to the ground time resumed its merciless march and things happened so fast they could only see as devilish limbs extended towards the fallen hunter. For a moment Nika hesitated about whether or not she should use her shadow blink to save Sam, but now that he was completely spent he would be a burden to carry which would reduce their survival chances.
