The moment Alex gripped the [Blood Valley Token], he crushed it in his hand.
A deep crimson light burst from the crushed item, bathing him in a blood-red glow that seemed to radiate straight from the ominous moon hanging above.
Alice, standing close by, was also caught in the glow.
"What's happening?!" she exclaimed, looking around in alarm as the energy enveloped them both.
Some nearby players paused, looking on with confusion and awe.
"Is the blood moon targeting them directly?" one murmured. "Or maybe it's trying to erase FateBreaker itself?"
Suddenly, a message popped up.
[Teleporting you to "Blood Valley"…]
The crimson pulse intensified, growing stronger by the second.
Alex felt the world around him begin to ripple and bend, like reality itself was being twisted and reshaped.
The ground trembled beneath their feet, jagged cracks snaking outward as the crimson energy warped the world around them.
