The gate to the Spirit Realm fully opened with a low, grinding sound.
[ Spirit Gate: ACTIVATED ]
A circular tear in space, framed by crackling blue light, hovered in the air. An enormous amount of spiritual energy poured out from it, whipping the rooftop wind into a frenzy.
Alveer threw his head back and laughed madly.

[ WARNING: External interference detected. ]
[ WARNING: Summoning sequence compromised. ]
[ Source: Unknown high-ranking demonic entity. ]
Red alerts started flashing across his vision, layering over one another.
[ ALERT: High-ranking demon interference detected. ]
[ ALERT: Summoning process being forcibly modified. ]
The smile vanished from Alveer's face.
In front of him, the blue light of the gate flickered, darkened, and began turning pitch black. The energy changed, too—no longer purely spiritual, but tainted, heavy, and malevolent. Massive bolts of black-violet lightning shot out from the gate, scorching the rooftop.
