The Spider Stone Carving in Marcus's hand was instantly sucked into the groove on the forehead of the Centennial Spider Maiden statue. A flicker of light flashed across the stone, followed by a sudden eruption of black flames that engulfed the bull-sized statue.
"Hell yes! Something's happening!"
Marcus grinned. After all that searching, he was finally getting somewhere. Without wasting any time, he took out the second Spider Stone Carving and placed it into the corresponding groove on the other statue.
The result was exactly the same. Black flames surged around the second Centennial Spider Maiden, and the light emanating from the two statues began to intensify. As though responding to each other, the two streams of black light converged from opposite sides, merging into a single, concentrated beam that shot toward the base of the main hall's wall.
A blinding flash followed.
Rrrrrr...
