1125 A Horrifying Sacrifice

Cries of horror boomed out from the Netherfrost Beast clan as they watched their leader plunge into the fiery abyss below, disappearing from sight as he fell helplessly into the formations surrounding the Yang Lotus.

As if expecting the Netherfrost Beast's arrival, the formations enveloped him with ropes of light, then guided him towards the Yang Lotus. Cries of agony sounded from within the chasm for a short moment before falling silent as the Netherfrost Beast Leader plunged directly into the Yang Lotus.

A sizzling sound emanated from the chasm a moment later, like the sound of something being fried in pan. That sound faded a moment later as well, followed by a slight drop in the power and heat emanating from the Lotus.

"Noooooo! Patriarch!" the tearful cries of the Netherfrost Beast group, ranging from youths to other Elders, boomed over the stadium.
