I stopped as I reached the base of the crater.
Meter ahead of me is the energy, dangerous energy that had raised all the hair on my body.
This is dangerous without a doubt; going straight inside would be a mistake. I make many mistakes, but even I am not that big of an idiot.
A moment later, a ring and a half dozen grey balls with blue runes appeared in my hand.
They are intricate, forged for this.
Buzz!
They buzzed as I activated them, before throwing them into the dense energy.
The moment they entered, I felt the links between them and the ring weaken rapidly, until only the faint threat remained: the one powered by the forbidden energy.
This energy is not only dangerous, but also suppressive and erosive.
It wants to erode everything, and it does that very fast. It is why I have been warned not to stay inside for more than ten minutes and remain within five miles of the range.
Going further will shrink my chances of survival further.
