On the western side of the Elda Territory, a rather crude altar had just been constructed on a newly scorched earth.
Nine massive dark gray stones formed the foundation of the altar, with nine ancient constellation diagrams painted on it with a pale bone-like pigment.
Metal glowing with blue light softened in the hiss of flames, and the molten metal was gently poured out, flowing along the surface of the altar, gradually solidifying into intricate ancient runes.
Mysterious runes interwoven, glowing with a ghostly blue fluorescence in the sunlight.
The massive altar had three tiers, each smaller than the one below it, forming a stepped structure.
An irregular black fragment was placed at the center of the top layer, a fragment of the Heroic Spirit Pool.
Although the Heroic Spirit Pool fragment was only a small part of what it once was, it certainly wasn't small—otherwise, Herbert couldn't have taken a bath in it with Valentina.
