As they conversed, the two had already arrived in front of the Temple.
It was situated in a dark forest, surrounded by tall black stone pillars that seemed like eternal guardians.
The black pillars emitted an eerie aura, as if harboring endless dark powers.
Soaring high into the clouds, their surfaces were smooth as mirrors, yet no light reflected off them.
They appeared to have grown out of nothingness, completely isolated from the surrounding environment.
Upon closer inspection, one could see the pillars were engraved with ancient runes and patterns, flickering with a faint red light, as if whispering unspeakable secrets.
These runes and patterns were ever-changing, at times revealing demonic faces, at others transforming into distorted human figures, inducing a sense of unease and a chilling sensation in Ethan.
As night fell, the air around the pillars seemed to become heavier, permeated with a rich scent of darkness.
