Buzz!!!
The dark lights increased in intensity, and what appeared to be a spatial tear started to appear within the boundaries of the ritual circle.
"Shit", the man cursed when he saw what was happening.
The man thought that he still had time before the portal opened, but he was wrong. The portal opened before the time he estimated.
For that to happen, the number of deaths in the city should have increased by a lot, which was not easy for the assigned cult members to achieve.
What the man failed to observe was that Aaron, in trying to infuse his undead with Death Energy similar to the man, had released a lot of Death Energy, which was absorbed by the ritual circles, making the ritual a success even before they estimated.
Then a hand came out of the portal.
It was a bone hand. It was exactly that. There was not even a small piece of muscle or anything attached to that hand; only bones were present.
