Mendax stopped just outside the gate. He reached out to push it open but paused to look over his shoulder one last time to check with Baba Jezda.
"Are you certain about this? The chances of this ending without a bloodbath are almost none. You are stepping into HIS domain and not even I will be able to stop him if he decides to go all out," he reiterated hoping to avoid an ugly situation but the Old Witch could not even be bothered to respond.
*Sigh*
"Fine, so be it."
Hao Xuan cautiously stepped back and away from Baba Jezda while the ten-meter-tall copper gate opened.
Unlike most of the other entrances he had gone through within the Sanctum, this one wasn't a portal or a door to another dimension entirely. Standing outside he could see and feel the copious energy on the other side.
It was the domain of a god-level entity but that did not stop Baba Jezda from walking in without any preparation whatsoever.
