Before venturing into the ominous underwater tunnel, Jason began to conjure additional reinforcements.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz—" Hundreds of light blue summoning circles materialized, dotting the seabed in a spectral display.
From these portals, ethereal frost ghosts emerged, summoned from the distant Undead Mountains. They drifted in the water, their forms wispy and ghostlike, trailing tendrils of white smoke.
"Go in," Jason commanded, his voice echoing in the underwater expanse.
With swift, agile movements that belied their spectral forms, the goat-headed demon and the ghostly legion entered the deep, dark chasm.
Soon after, Jason and the lich followed suit, diving into the abyss. The massive crack plunged downwards for thousands of meters before veering horizontally, hinting at its connection to an extensive underground network, possibly spanning hundreds of kilometers.
