Chapter 427: Chapter 427: The Darkest Hour

The journey back to the Nexus was marked by a tense anticipation. The group moved with purpose, the weight of their quest heavy on their shoulders. With the Pillar of Water now in their possession, only one Pillar remained to be found: the Pillar of Air. Their path to it was shrouded in mystery, hinted at only by fragmented clues scattered throughout ancient texts.

Their return to the Nexus was met with a renewed sense of urgency. The once-gleaming structure, now weathered by the trials they had faced, stood as a beacon of hope amidst the encroaching darkness. Elara led her companions through the Nexus's swirling energies, their steps echoing in the vast, cavernous space. The familiar hum of the Nexus's power was now a constant reminder of the delicate balance they sought to restore.
