"It's a ritual," Grozque's voice rang out through the space.
"This is a ritual ground. The altar itself is the clearest proof of that."
"These Foreigner Archguards died due to having their blood sucked out. That's the power of the runes present in that altar."
"It sucked their blood, transferring it to wherever this portal is..." he explained.
But Orrelith shook her head.
"No. It didn't suck their blood."
"It sucked away their energy—blood energy, to be exact."
"When I placed my hand on it, it tried to suck mine. But my divine concentration was beyond it, and therefore, it shattered into pieces."
"When blood energy is completely sucked away, the blood itself refuses to exist," she explained, as Ryuk—standing behind them—narrowed his eyes in thought.
"So the altar was sucking the energy of the Archguards and transferring it to an altar located in a different area?" he muttered silently to himself.
