Despite Anon dismissing the Terror Queen's warning with a nonchalant behavior, Anon did not plan on taking the ominous blood pool lightly.
Ever since his failure with his teleportation spell, Anon had developed a mild apprehension towards the unknown, especially when the unknown dealt with powers that were far beyond his level.
Due to this apprehension, Anon was always cautious with the unknown, not wanting to underestimate it in the slightest.
With every step Anon took, he subtly observed his environment, body and state of mind. Since the Terror Queen had warned him about her subordinate's descent into madness, he was already on guard for any sort of attack or change on his mental state.
Step by step, Anon's distance to the blood pool shortened, and as it did, Anon noticed a minute change in the environment. He paused and with a calm expression, he turned his head, his eyes squinting in the process.
'A blood mist?'
