As I expected, after another hour, my group arrived at the trap and, as I predicted, they discussed for a few minutes how to proceed.
In the end, everyone entered the trap. The red mist couldn't obstruct our view; I could see Ayden's group noticing my group's arrival.
They went to the one lying in the middle of the ritual between the four totems, then took something that looked like a crown made of raw energy and placed it on his chest before activating the ritual.
The crown crushed the person's body as if it were a meat grinder; the totems cracked and broke before reforming into four large swords floating above the ground. The blood that forms the ritual transformed into pure energy while what remained of the man's body disappeared, leaving only his soul behind, which was recovered by one of his companions.
