Chapter 1048: The Crystal Horde: A Dangerous Situation

The air in the chamber grew thick with tension as Reign and his team sensed the presence outside. The sand that had once been artifacts and scrolls now covered the floor, adding an eerie silence to the room. They knew they had to stay alert and be ready for whatever was approaching.

"Prepare yourselves," Reign said, his voice low but steady. "Something's out there, and it's close."

The team formed a defensive circle around the altar, their weapons drawn and their senses heightened. The faint glow from the amulet in Laura's hand provided a small source of light, casting long shadows on the walls.

Mia conjured frost magic, ready to unleash it at a moment's notice, while Wolf's greatsword glowed with a faint heat. Shadow blended into the darkness, his daggers at the ready. Jin and Greenie took their positions, their eyes scanning the room for any sign of movement.
