The Human Saint, a figure of immense influence in the Human Empire of the Domain, died a death where even his body was not left intact, a deserving death for a blind traitor.
However, where his death closed the slit in space, acting as the gate for the Devourer beasts to flood the area, his death also fueled the growing dark portal that now stood as a giant ominous hole in the fabric of reality.
It was surprising because Alex was expecting the portal to close as the power source was cut off, but it seemed that the last crystal was not on Zanthean.
Alex was no longer in contact with anyone, so he did not know if the last crystal was located or not and if they had any chance of closing the growing portal.
Alex felt really frustrated with the entire situation as nothing was going right, and even his little mission was edging closer to failure, with him seeing little to no success in sight, and he could do nothing but wait, hoping for the best.
