Roman struggled to retain consciousness as well, he could feel his mind slipping into a deep slumber as his eyes drifted to close with every second seemingly making them heavier. Eventually though, they closed and his mind wandered away from the physical manifestation of his body; muscles going limp as the armored figure fully collapsed onto the cobblestone grounds. Just then, the decaying fixtures sucked remnants of skin and flesh from the corpses, and a pulsatile wave of dark force energy thundered through the altar and exploded outwards from its epicenter. The energy was enough to hurl both Champions as well as the Sith mages backwards several feet.
Roman's body flew several meters before landing with an unwelcoming thud. Dust bellowed out from where the sorcery had completed, leaving behind a smoky lobby floor. One of the Sith sorceress rose to her full height, wiping off dust from her robes she said in a quiet tone. "It's done..."
The ritual had completed, ghastly green fire lit through the majority of the Fortress as it seemingly now powered and those with force sensitivities could comprehend the deep power that resonated from the altar's depths. Roman slowly opened his eyes and attempted to get to his feet slowly, shifting his attention to see how Celeste and Armaj had fared during the testament.
