“The Outer Boundary will shake?”
Isaac narrowed his eyes, looking intently at Sadraza.
“You said you’d use the lantern to shroud the Cursed Sun, didn’t you?”
“I will,” Sadraza replied. “But even just obscuring the sun with the lantern could lead those creatures beyond the Boundary to misunderstand. They might think the sun has gone out entirely. And breaking the Salt Desert could also provoke them.”
Isaac nodded, understanding. To creatures of the Outer Boundary, the dimming of the Cursed Sun and the fracturing of the Salt Desert would seem like signs that the order of the world was unraveling. These beings, having long since lost all knowledge of civilization but still driven by a ravenous hunger for abundance, were constantly waiting for an opportunity to invade Miarma.

“Don’t worry about a few monsters showing up. Just proceed with the ritual.”
“I’ve waited a thousand years for this moment. I won’t make any mistakes.”
Sadraza slithered back into the dark pyramid, his drooping tentacles trailing behind him like an elaborate priestly robe.
