Whispers, glancing around nervously Library's cursed energy... strong. Must be careful. Is the plan clear?
leaning closer, voice low Clear as water, boss. Got the artifact ready. Just need a wave.
nods, whispering Good. Remember, we can't afford any mistakes. The library's curse is unpredictable.
Understood, boss. Let's do this.
raises his hand, and a dark ritual circle appears, glowing with eerie energy Alright, Pearson. It's time to begin.
looking at the ritual circle That's some serious magic right there. What exactly are we doing, boss?
leans in, speaking softly We're going to tap into the library's cursed energy, Pearson.
rises slightly, eyebrow raised Tap into it? How?
gestures towards the center of the ritual circle The artifact we retrieved holds the key to channeling the library's dark power.
nods, understanding dawning So that's the heart of it all. Got it, boss. What's next?
places the artifact in the center of the ritual circle Now, we just need to activate it.
chuckles softly You'd think after all these years, the thing would've rusted or something.
smirks, leaning back Trust me, Pearson, this artifact has seen worse. Now, let's focus. We need to recite the incantation.
Alright, boss. What's the magic spell we gotta say?
pauses, taking a deep breath The incantation is... "Delve into the shadowed depths, where darkness reigns supreme.
whispers Delve into the shadowed depths, where darkness reigns supreme.
raises his hands, chanting the incantation with conviction "Delve into the shadowed depths, where darkness reigns supreme.
mumbles, eyes half-closed Guess it's true what they say about great magic. Feels like I'm in a cult or something.
As Darius and Pearson chant the incantation, the ritual circle pulses with dark energy. Suddenly, a powerful force throws them apart, shattering the artifact and scattering its pieces across the room.
eyes wide with shock What the hell was that, boss?!
struggling to regain composure The artifact... it was more unstable than I anticipated.
swearing under his breath Shit! So much for plan A. What's next, boss?
quickly gathers his thoughts We need to regroup and come up with a new plan. But first, we must contain the dark energy.
raising an eyebrow Contain it? How, boss?
swiftly draws a protective seal in mid-air I'll create a containment barrier around the area.
watching intently That's impressive, boss! Never seen anyone draw something like that so fast. What's your secret?
mutters to himself Thanks, Pearson. It's just a trick I picked up during one of my many adventures. Now, we need to focus.
nodding Right, boss. What's our next move then?
paces back and forth, thinking quickly We need to find a way to stabilize the dark energy. Perhaps there's another artifact or ritual we can perform.
Alright, boss. I've got your back. Let's shake this off.
pauses, contemplating There might be a way to stabilize the energy... but it requires a trip to the underground chamber.
