Demons are born from negative emotions, and they thrive in destruction—many know that from the myths.
But it was the truth.
After all, demons targeted broken people or people with evil alignments.
The more pain or suffering one went through, the higher the chances of them getting possessed by a demon.
Now, what would happen if a five- to six-foot-tall human were compressed into a one- to two-foot-tall crystal while keeping them alive?
How much pain would they be in?
It would be greater than the pain of having one's bones twisted, skin torn apart, and soul torn.
With that much pain, would they not be the easiest target for demons to take over?
They were.
And that was what was happening in the underground room in the Red Magic Tower.
The magic circle below the cages was an ancient magic circle that could pack humans into one- to two-foot-tall crystals while keeping them alive.
