At the spot where the pillar of light struck, a massive, ancient altar exuding endless traces of age and deathly stillness emerged from the void, as if forcibly dragged out from the silt of time's river.
The entire altar was constructed from a type of pitch-black stone, presenting a twisted, desecrating yet powerful multi-pointed star structure.
The surface of the altar was covered with numerous dark red runes that had been eroded by time into obscurity, yet still emanated a soul-trembling aura of oppression.
Under the stimulation of the blood light from the witch array, these runes began to light up with a scarlet glow from the bottom, like awakening blood vessels.
The core of the altar was not solid but a slowly rotating shadow vortex, deep as if leading to hell.
An ancient, purer, and ancient-smelling aura, even older than the energy condensed by the witch array, was spreading from the depths of the vortex.
