An Emerald Priest, significantly taller and covered in jade-green scales compared to his kin, raised the Jade Wand in his hand and struck it against the ground, enveloping himself in a pale green energy shield, while a large number of Emerald Priests gathered around him forming a circle and began chanting.
Streams of green light converged toward the center, flowing into the energy shield created by the towering Emerald Priest, quickly dyeing the shield a brighter and more vibrant green.
As energy poured in, the sphere of light slowly rose, sending ripples of invisible waves outward. A dazzling green column of light shot up into the Vault of Heaven, exploding into circle after circle of green halos. A vast Emerald Serpent face slowly opened its vertical pupils.
