Chapter 143: Chapter 92: The Curse of the Crystal

The company sailed through stormy seas, their ship buffeted by fierce winds and crashing waves. The waters seemed to reflect their inner turmoil as they grappled with the weight of their recent discoveries.

In the heart of the island, they discovered a hidden cave, rumored to hold a crystal of immense power.
