Chapter 148: Chapter 97  : The Trial of Sacrifice

As the company ventured deeper into the heart of the enchanted forest, they stumbled upon a hidden clearing—a place shrouded in mystic energy. At its center stood a colossal stone arch, adorned with intricate runes and symbols of ancient power.

Sensing the gravity of the moment, the company knew that this was the Trial of Sacrifice—the next step in their journey to unlock the true potential of the Forgotten Scroll. With a mixture of determination and trepidation, they approached the arch, knowing that this trial would demand more than mere physical prowess.

"The Trial of Sacrifice," she said, her voice resonating like a melody, "is a test of selflessness and willingness to give up something dear to you for the greater good."
