At the ceremony site on the first floor of the Signal Tower, spiked cages hung from the ceiling, containing living creatures to be used as ritual sacrifices.
Blood formed into columns that dripped from the cages down to the ground, spreading along the magical runes on the floor, flickering red, corrupt and sinful.
A group of undead beings from various factions of the Undead Cult surrounded the ritual array, standing on a circular high platform, watching the array on the ground.
They saw the blood water spreading over the array and also witnessed the flickering luminous soul energy.
Compared to the dazzling red blood light, the soul energy appeared murky and unstable, as if it might extinguish at any moment.
The undead beings anxiously conversed, whispered, searched for someone, or questioned the Demon Bone.
Noland Lee, having used Deconstruction to search for Archelon among the undead, encountered this scene.
At the ceremony site, he saw a figure he was familiar with.
Sully.
