Eldritch is now in field of flowers more beautiful than anywhere in the real world. He did not consider the scene disgusting or inappropriate but an eyesore for his quest. He could feel that he is in the right spot but does not know how to unseal the thing that keeps the Lich King in the magic formation.
Eldritch could see that the magic circle covering the whole field but the problem is that it is a whole field. The magic circle had so much intricacies that it would be humanly impossible to solve it. It is also covering a land mass of about fifty kilometers and that one mistake would erase his character from existence.
“I took all that time and it was for nothing. Nothing I hate more than a dead end.” Eldritch stated but then he heard a sound like cracking glass.
He thought it was just some monsters with scales or something but then he saw a reaction from the field of flowers. The magic circle suddenly glowed that made the ever beautiful garden of flowers more mystical than it has already been. Though the beauty of this scene did not faze Eldritch because he could feel it.
“The sealed dark god is reacting to something.” Eldritch stated while he surveyed the surroundings to see what is making the dark god react.
Eldritch tried to see if anything nearby made it react only for it to come to naught. He is about to give up and challenge the magic circle but then he felt something an energy from faraway. It is faint but he could definitely feel it.
He looked north and he felt a strange pull call to him. Eldritch cannot actually teleport in a wisp of smoke or something like that because he is not a demon. He can actually tap on energies that is emitted by Dark gods and their followers and then use that to send himself to that location.
This is one of the reasons why the records about the dark gods are erased or forgotten. The ancient heroes know that just the simple belief of the dark gods would make another envoy rise up.
What the ancient heroes did not know is that even the fear brewed indirectly from the legends of the dark gods made their powers stronger. They did not know that fear could also be channeled into belief despite it having only minimal effect but an effect is still an effect. Small things would eventually pile up thereby making the rise of another envoy of the dark gods.
The glow of the magic circle became brighter as the energy coming from the north became stronger. Even Eldritch could feel the pull becoming stronger that is coming from the north. The magic circle is even resonating with the energy coming from the north. Eldritch let himself pulled to the location of the energy as his hunch is always right and has yet to fail him.

The finger continued on firing the beam as the Arch Lich is still trying to sever its tie with it. Adrian who is seeing the beam penetrating the sky suddenly had figures behind him. He turned back and he saw the elders at the scene with ten more demons behind him.
“Champion Equinox, we need your help.” Ascalor stated in a serious voice.
Adrian did not pull a stunt like saying jokes like ‘I am busy, old man’ or pull any wise cracking joke. Adrian could read the atmosphere and immediately stood up to go with the elders. The elders will not come in person if the problem is normal.
The elders slightly nodded at the Ice Queen as they flew towards the cracking space. The other demons soon followed and also Adrian as he lightly nodded at the Ice Queen. The demons in the sky then went into a position around the firing beam.
Ascalor tried casting the quantum corridor but the beam of light would penetrate even his spell. The three elders then gathered together and simultaneously chanted a spell. They formed a barrier that stopped the beam of light from penetrating the barrier of the planes of existence.
The spell worked but it took the help of the three elders to even stop the beam from reaching the barrier. The remaining demons including Adrian is sent a mental image on how to fix the fractures in space. Adrian looked at the cracks in space and saw something squirming out of there and he saw countless eyes peering back at him.
He immediately started chanting along with the rest of the demons. The players that are actually assistants to the hidden powers that are with their masters are seeing the fracture in space being fixed by the demons. Unlucky for Adrian, there is actually one from the top guilds there that is observing the situation.

While the demons are actually fixing the barrier and the elder demons preventing the beam from piercing the barrier of the planes of existence, a laugh is heard from behind the Arch Lich. If the Arch Lich had eyes then it would be bulging by now.
Eldritch laughed like a maniac as he now knows what is generating that odd energy that resembles the energy released by the dark gods. The Arch Lich wanted to strangle Eldritch right now because it knows what Eldritch would do.
“Envoy of the Dark Gods! Do not come here! I am warning you!” The Arch Lich warned in a dark voice.
“You do not scare me Arch Lich. I can finally see a way to get my hands on a way to get the Lich King out of its seal. I did not know that you are actually hiding a finger of the Lich King Arch Lich.” Eldritch stated as he laughed maniacally.
“Stop him!” The Arch Lich shouted.
The undead tried to stop Eldritch but it seems the envoy came prepared. Eldritch crushed a rock that had dark tentacles wriggling in it and rifts in space appeared. From the rift, tentacles of unknown mass came out and restricted all the undead on the ghost ship.
Eldritch went near the finger and held out his hand but a force repelled it away. Eldritch knew that the energy is actually rejecting him due to the state of his hand. His hand transformed into something monstrous and he held his hand out.
At first there is visible repulsion but his monstrous hand that is similar to the tentacles that came out of the rift managed to grab the finger. Eldritch gripped it tightly as power coursed through his body in as the beam of light’s energy is channeled through him thereby absorbing it entirely.
If the liches did not empty out their life vessels then they would be able to break free from the restraints. The Arch Lich also felt powerless as the finger is still drawing energy from it. Eldritch absorbed the finger in his body and an explosion of power happened. 𝘪𝑎.𝒸𝘰
The explosion is so loud and powerful that it cancelled all the spells being cast. The fracture in space became bigger and bigger as something tried to crawl out of it. .

An eerie message popped out from Adrian’s interface.
