The unsettling rant did not seem to end. It wasn't just the fact that the immortal king was ranting due to his anger. He clearly was using the mana all around him in ways that didn't make sense. Like a child trying to break out of a closed room from a time out. He was pushing against the trap that kept him here.
Every step that the party took brought it upwards. Toward the ranting. Towards the manas that were being pulled in and used to push against the tower itself. From what Walker could tell, the immortal king had changed something. Had become too angry just to sit and hope for an experiment to free him.
"Rotten winged rats! I will come and take you down for attempting to destroy our kingdom! Our precious true path to real immortality!" The roar caused the tower to shake again. However, the party had just reached the top of the tower.
