Twelve crystal bull-headed demons crawled out of the lava, their horns adorned with the severed heads of imperial assault team members. Carlel hung suspended by iron chains at the center of the altar, the star-shaped crystal on his chest resonating with the symbol of torture, burning scars into his skin.

The shadow seated on the throne raised its finger, and Carlel's left arm suddenly ignited, flesh carbonizing in the golden flames, revealing the crystallized bone beneath.

The aurora in the direction of the Arctic suddenly warped, forming a giant elven bow spanning the sky, its string made from the light chain extending from Carlel's body. "Shoot it!" Susan's pupils fully crystallized, "Use your pain as the arrow!"
