Guided by the journal's instructions, the group embarked on their mission. Armed with ancient artifacts and a steadfast belief in their cause, they ventured into the mansion's heart, where the devil's power was said to be at its strongest. They lit candles and placed them strategically around a central room, creating a protective circle that would shield them from supernatural interference.
Chanting ancient incantations and invoking the names of the lost souls, they began the ritual. As their voices rose, a whirlwind of furious wind buffeted the mansion, and the flickering candles grew brighter. Their chant reached its crescendo, echoing throughout the haunted halls, until finally, a blinding light enveloped them all.
