3220 Blood Dome
“We have reached it,” said Clem as we stopped in front of the blood-red dome, made of energy.
The beam is shooting from its top, and it is a magnificent sight, but feels horrible.
Maybe because it is powered by the power of the sacrifice.
“Now, little human. It is time you bring us out of this place,” said Elf, turning to me. There is a smile on her face, but I could feel a hint of a threat in it; she will really kill me if I didn’t bring her out of this place.
It her not just her, but over five hundred sovereigns behind will do the same thing. If I failed.
Our numbers have been swelling up rapidly, and within an hour, it had reached over five hundred, and more are coming. Even some who have killed and experiencing compulsion are present.
“Ok,” I said with a confident smile.
‘I have reached the place, now help me or these people will kill me,’ I said, hoping the hidden being will hear as it usually does.
There was no response. Seeing that. I felt the confident smile on my face slipping a little. I have a couple of seconds. If something didn’t happen by then, these people will eat me alive.
‘Place your hand on the dome,’ said the being, six seconds later, when some of the Sovereigns begin closing on me.
I did not hesitate and moved my hand toward the dome; seeing that, all the Sovereigns beside me including, Kara and Elf moved away instantly.
All of them could sense the danger, and they don’t want to get caught in it. If something untoward happens.
Hun!
My hand was halfway toward the dome when something shocking happened. Dense white runes came out of my hand; it shocked me and the others who were watching me.
It is not the runes that shocked me, but it is the kind of runes that did.
They are the strange runes that I had seen in the cavern and the temple. The ones belonging to that race and now, these runes came out of my hand.
I did not have any time to think, and I had let myself do it. Instead, I moved my hand fated and placed it on the dome.
I couldn’t help but became surprised when I touched it. The dome felt warm and liquid. There is also a little big stickiness that reminded me of the blood.
It may be because it is the same color as the blood, or it may have been made using it. I don’t know, but I wanted to remove my hand.

Hun!
The runes covering my hand moved to the dome, but more came out of it and kept coming and moving to the dome. Soon, they form a shape, which looked like a square.
The runes begin to fill it by the edges and continued for more than a minute, before stopping suddenly.
‘Step inside,’ said the being, and I moved my leg into the runic square that looked like the dome.
It went inside smoothly.
Seeing that, I brought the other leg inside. Entering the dome, through the sticky bloody energy.
“Fuck!” I cursed as I saw the other side. The dome looked small, barely covering four hundred meters, but the area inside covers at least four miles. That’s how big it is and, in the center, is a giant statue.
It is about a being that I had never seen.
It is a golden statue, which is standing like a man, but had four legs; the place where its stomach should have a big hole, with a blood-red ball floating in the center.
Its chest looked normal, but have six hands with only three fingers.
Above the chest is a normal neck, but there is a triangular head with three eyes and a mouth, with no nose and ears.
The blood-red beam that, that is coming out of the dome is coming out of its head.
Hun!
This statue is one of the weirdest things I had ever seen in my life, and I looked at it, and I want to destroy it. The urge is so strong that I unconsciously brought out my sword and took a couple of steps toward it.
As I analyze this intense urge, I realized it was coming from the immense wrongness I am feeling from it.
I have only felt such immense wrongness only one time in my life. When I saw the abomination, the time when the hidden being entered inside me.
“Go near its feet,”
I was calming down myself by taking deep breaths when hidden from being spoken again.
I thought for a moment, before walking toward the statue slowly. Nearly stopped mid-way when I had noticed I am the only one coming inside.
It did not make me feel good since I had said, I will bring them out, but I couldn’t do anything. Since I am the only one who had come inside, it is clear, the hidden being wants only me inside.
I decided to not think about them. If I can shut things off, they might survive.
So, I will focus on that.
The statue is giant and due to it, it may look closely, but it is not. It is far away. Though I did not increase my speed; I want to go slow, with wrongness intensifying in my heart.
I want to remain calm and in control. Moving slowly, and getting used to intensifying presence would be the right way.
A few minutes passed, and I finally stopped.
I had not reached the statue; it was nearly a mile away, but in front was something I couldn’t cross.
It is powerful and dangerous. That single touch would wipe me out of the face of the earth.
There is a ring of blood-red fire covering it; the fire is not dense but felt extremely dangerous. I am sure, if I take a step inside it, I will suffer a fate worse than burning to death.
