When Duanmu Huai and his group rushed to leave the temple, everything before their eyes had completely transformed. Shortly after they left, the temple was suddenly enveloped by strong, dark, and deep red energy. It no longer retained its original form; on both sides of the twin towers, under the glow of blazing red flames, were agonizingly twisted giant faces. Above the church, countless pitch-black crows let out ear-splitting screams, swirling ceaselessly in the air.
What's more, the placid lake that once encircled the church was now frozen, resembling a field of rugged icicles. The once lush trees and grassland were now shriveled and barren.
"How can this be...!"
Lorena's face fell as she registered this sight.
"Cut to the chase. What's happening now?"
Duanmu Huai cast a glance at the temple behind him and asked in a low voice. Lorena, trembling, responded.
"They... they've opened the gateway to Hell! They aim to link this place with Hell, to summon the Ice Hell King!!"
