Chapter 282: The Underground Empire Residents

In the depths of the earth, far below the surface world, lay the sprawling underground empire of the dark elves. The cavernous expanse was illuminated by the glow of bioluminescent fungi and enchanted crystals, casting an eerie, otherworldly light over the dark stone architecture. Towers and buildings of intricate design rose from the cavern floor, connected by bridges and pathways that wove through the stalactites and stalagmites.

The air was thick with a mix of dampness and a faint metallic tang, a testament to the minerals in the surrounding rock. The dark elves moved with purpose through their city, their black skin and sharp features blending seamlessly into the shadows. Their eyes glowed with an inner light, a constant reminder of the dark magic that coursed through their veins.
