The remaining Trolls, all in a panic, many turned and fled.
This would only hasten their demise, their speed of escape was no match for Golia's leaping velocity.
A Jump Slash on their back could decapitate them in an instant, leaving their corpses sprawled on the spot.
It was during this chase that Gaven and his team's target appeared before them.
What they had seen earlier wasn't an illusion; the physical entity of the Demon Altar had turned into a vague phantom, replaced by a massive blood vortex, pulsating and spinning like a living thing.
Countless souls, belonging to Demons, Trolls, Goblins, Hobgoblins, and humans.
Any who died within the blood mist were greedily consumed by this blood vortex, transformed into energy sustaining its existence.
