In response to the intruders, the Unmade created copies of Bridge Four in order to repel them from its domain. As Shallan watched the creature, she had the vague impression that she was familiar with the Unmade and knew why it was committing murders. While Adolin and Bridge Four's attempted to drive the creatures back, Shallan made her way closer to the spren despite Adolin's insistence that she retreat. As the Unmade continued to create increasingly distorted copies of the residents of Urithiru, Shallan used her Illumination abilities to conjure a glowing radiant force consisting of copies of people she drew in her sketchbook, seemingly driving the Unmade's creations back. {{book ref|sa3|29}} Making her way closer to the Unmade, the black form began to began away and revealed a bowl-shaped room where the rest of its form resided in. Realizing that she had a strange connection with Re-Sephir and that the midnight creatures were no longer intimidated by her light, Shallan began to hesitate and asked Adolin whether they should retreat or continue to fight the Unmade. At Adolin's advice, Shallan ordered Bridge Four and Adolin to clear away for her to reach the central mass and Renarin to watch her back. Using her Illumination abilities, Shallan conjured different versions of herself to take the brunt of the midnight creatures' attacks. While they distracted the Unmade, she made her way into the dark mass and gingerly pressed herself into the Unmade. {{book ref|sa3|29}} As Shallan connected with Re-Sephir, she learned that it was an ancient spren creating by the splintering of a greater being. After being ordered to cause chaos, the Unmade became interested in men and eventually found itself attracted to the violence they committed. Clinging to the advice Adolin had given her, Shallan continued to attack the Unmade using stormlight. While she struck at creature, she learned that it was scared of being trapped again as it had been by another [[Lightweaver]] in the past. As Shallan realized that the Unmade was learning about her just as she was with the creature, she began to back down out of fear despite convincing herself that she would continue to fight off the Unmade. As Re-Sephir was forced itself out of the pit and fled, Shallan told the rest of the group not to follow. {{book ref|sa3|30}} While [[Teft]] grumbled about Shallan's order not to follow the Unmade, he assented and they discovered a large treasure of cut gemstones where the Unmade had previously settled in.
