Soul-Devouring Altar's Final Test

The surge of excitement lasted only an instant. The Eight-Armed Serpent Demons quickly sensed an extreme threat of death from the blood spears hurtling toward them at terrifying speed.

And that was only the blood spears. Dense violet lightning followed close behind them.
