Formation: Layered Activation

….

Meanwhile, inside the farthest Northwest position of the Palace of Shadows…

[System: 6/9 «Node of Distorted Shadows» have been located.]

"So this large pillar is the Node of Distorted Shadows? If that's the case, then we should be the 6th group to locate ours. I wonder if Key already found the one in his region," muttered Snow Bunny as she gazed at the identical pillar which erected. However, if one looked closely they would realize a change happening in it.

A thread of dark purple energy was flowing in the distance in the direction of the center of the realm. Unknown to them, each newly discovered Node of Distorted Shadow was completing the formation to a higher degree. On the other hand, unlike the grandest pillar in the center, the peripheral ones only possessed an azure-eyed Nightmare as its Guardian.
