A way through? No, they will stay.
"I think they are doing what everyone up there hopes to do: find a way through the fifth. They won't be allowed. This is our place, and none are able to tame it."

Maybe I ws rigth about the core of corruption they need to destroy to cleanse the 5th...
The tangle of tunnels resembled nothing so much as a web of veins, like the circulatory system of a living, breathing creature. There was a certain flow and movement to the shape of the fifth that had been revealed so far. The mana, guided by the tunnels, always flowed in a certain direction as if by design.

No, they were bat wings since the beginning.
Then my guards emerged, with confused expressions on their faces, each holding their own plush toy. One held a fuzzy gorilla-looking creature with bat wings, while the other was an indescribable horror of nightmares that I couldn't look at without losing my sanity.

Earth has about 6 371000 km of radius. So there is space to be had. Lets assume that Pangera is the same size as earth, and lets say that the dungeon has 10 stratas, that means each strata can be 637 100 km high, that is 637 100 000 meters. Don't worry there is plenty of space left.

It goes arround the globe. Like a layer of the crust. So a LOT of space.

I think that the stratum "wants" to restore itself, but whatever changed it is continously corrupting the mana (hence the "breathing"), if the colony finds the origin of the corruption they can kill it at the source (a well placed gravity bomb at full power should suffice). Because it seems like a massive undertaking to clean the WHOLE thing with the pets, the stratum circles the planet!
There's many more monsters, but what catches my eye is instead the vents I see in places around the tunnel. Each looks different, but they all appear to be doing the exact same thing: spewing a dense cloud of toxic mana directly into the tunnel. As I watch them closer, I see that my first assumption wasn't quite right. They are sucking in mana, and then expelling it, before repeating the process. When looking at the flow of energy throughout the whole tunnel, it's almost like the entire thing is breathing, a vast push and pull of mana that is cycling… somewhere?

They will do so much backstabbing that they will ease things out for the colony...
"Gugugugugug," Gozsi chuckled, "you aren't wrong. Listen to me for a moment. I've been around for a while, and I know just what poison to drip in which ears to make these miserable slugs happy."
