Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Whispers of Power

The quiet after the battle with the Abyss was almost unnerving. Elara, Kael, and Morgana stood in the clearing, the cold air swirling around them, but the oppressive presence of the Abyss had receded. For now. The eerie silence of the Frostwood felt almost worse than the sounds of battle—like the forest was waiting for the next blow to fall.

Morgana was the first to break the silence. "What just happened back there?" Her voice was a mix of awe and fear, her gaze fixed on Elara. "That power… it wasn't just the ley lines, was it?"

Elara sheathed her sword, her body still thrumming with the residual energy she had tapped into. Her fingers tingled, her senses heightened from the encounter with the Abyss. She glanced at Morgana, trying to find the words for something she didn't quite understand herself.
