A huge red whirlpool-like portal shimmered violently in the middle of the road.
Crimson energy spiralled endlessly within its depths while countless golden particles drifted through the vortex like glowing embers caught inside a storm. Waves of distorted light spread from its surface, causing the surrounding air to ripple unnaturally.
Sssh~
Under the dark night sky, the portal illuminated the entire stretch of highway with an eerie crimson glow, revealing a landscape of destruction.
Dozens of vehicles were scattered across the highway as though they had desperately attempted to stop before reaching the portal.
