Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Shadows of Triumph

The morning after their victory at the Obsidian Crypts, the stronghold bustled with a sense of renewed vigor. News of Elara and her team's success spread quickly, and the mood was one of cautious optimism. The defeat of the cult's dark ritual had given everyone a glimmer of hope, but the battle was far from over.

Elara, weary but resolute, gathered her closest allies in the war room. The space was filled with maps, intelligence reports, and the remnants of their previous campaigns. Morgana, Selene, Thorne, and the others took their places around the table, each bearing the marks of the recent conflict.

"We've dealt a significant blow to the cult," Elara began, her voice steady despite her exhaustion. "But we can't afford to rest on our laurels. We need to assess our next steps and ensure that this victory doesn't become a fleeting moment of triumph."
