The illusory doorway that appeared was like a bridge to an unknown world. Even when it was closed, it felt as though terrifying monsters lurked on the other side, waiting in silence.
This door reminded Grey of the existence within the small door he had seen on the female corpse's chest.
The moment it was summoned, the door flew open as if beckoning them inside. Grey felt cold wisps of energy brush against his face the instant it opened, seeping into his skin and making his scalp tingle.
As soon as the door opened, the captain revealed a determined expression and stepped inside without hesitation. Grey did not waste any time either and quickly followed after her.
The moment they entered, the illusory door slammed shut and began to disappear like shattering ice. As it vanished completely, the trembling of the headless corpse also stopped.
So did the faint feeling of revival. It slowly sank back into a deep, suppressed slumber under the oppressive runes carved into the altar.
