Chapter 153: The Returning Shard

After they journeyed a bit deeper into the Towering Oak Forest, Izroth and his party came across a strange statue with a powerful dark aura surrounding it. The statue had the face of a man with no eyes, but it had the body of a chimera. There was a small fragment embedded into the statue's forehead that seemed to be the source of its power.

The most bizarre and creepy thing about the entire situation was the numerous egg-like cocoons that were scattered all around the statue.

Izroth and his party approached the area with caution. As they moved in closer, the statue shook violently and released a strong burst of magical energy. This caused everyone to halt their steps and prepare for whatever was coming. But, something unexpected happened.
