Chapter 163: The Trial of the Guardians

As the ground beneath Blakely, Maven, and Iris glowed with intricate runes, the world around them shifted, as if reality itself was bending to the will of the Primordials. The circle of light expanded, surrounding them with an ethereal glow that pulsed with elemental energy. Blakely could feel the power surging through her veins—earth, fire, water, air, and even the mystical energies of the void and cosmos. It was overwhelming, but also exhilarating, as if she had tapped into the very heart of creation itself.

The Primordials, standing at the edge of the glowing circle, watched silently, their expressions unreadable. This was the final trial, the one that would determine whether Blakely, Maven, and Iris were worthy of becoming the Elemental Guardians. They had faced countless dangers to reach this point, but now they were about to be tested like never before.
