As the final rune was touched, the Starlight Power pattern was completely activated, and the pyramid's gates let out a muffled roar before slowly swinging open. An ancient and mystical aura rushed outward, laced with a faint chill that formed a stark contrast to the scorching heat of the outer desert.
