Core ritual city.
The ancient castle located in the suburbs of the city was gradually taking shape from the twisted gray fog as the ritual began.
Countless heretical cultists surged in from the outside, chanting the revered name of the Great Crimson Moon.
In the deepest part of the castle,
a sacrificial altar inscribed with dense and mysterious blood runes was the standing ground for a Bloodbeard Priest holding a scepter.
Beneath his feet, around the altar of blood runes, streams of fresh blood were gushing out, and upon closer inspection, one could see that this blood was slowly filling the gaps of the blood rune altar, turning the entire altar into pure blood color.
That moment would also mark the completion of the ritual.
The Bloodbeard Priest revealed a smile.
At this moment, he donned a luxurious blue ceremonial robe, his face restoring to the true appearance of a Bloodbeard person, almost the same height as a Blue Star human, with one head, two hands, and two feet.
