"Do you have any idea what it is?" Eztein asked.
"I don't know," Erkigal replied, shaking her head. "I wasn't aware of what he was working on in his territory. His household was protected by a barrier, making it impossible for me to infiltrate."
"We're here," Erkigal announced, halting as she gestured toward a colossal stone monument.
Franklin, Vashno, and Eztein observed the monument curiously.
Erkigal turned to them and explained, "This is our first stop. It's to monitor and mark what's happening inside the All-Filter Barrier Formation. The Killing Game."
"Killing Game?" Vashno raised an eyebrow.
"Look at the stone monument," Erkigal directed, pointing ahead.
The monument displayed several dots and inscriptions. Countless dots were present, almost unnoticeable unless one focused keenly. The brightest dots signified the strongest experts within the All-Filter Barrier Formation, while the unlit dots represented the weakest individuals.
