Chapter 738: Chapter 738: The Tears in the Fabric

The aftermath of their confrontation with Malakar left the team both exhausted and triumphant. The fortress's ruins lay in the distance, a stark reminder of the darkness they had faced. The battle had been fierce, but their victory had prevented a potentially catastrophic event. Now, with the immediate threat subdued, they turned their attention to the next steps in their ongoing quest.
