Chapter 825: Chapter 825: The Invisible Castle

The morning sun bathed the landscape in a warm, golden light as the Guardians set out on their new mission. The map from the journal had led them to a remote and uncharted region known for its treacherous terrain and dense forests. Their destination was a rumored hidden citadel, a place that was said to house ancient and powerful dark artifacts.

The journey to the hidden citadel was arduous. The terrain grew increasingly rugged as they traveled, with steep inclines and thick underbrush slowing their progress. Each step brought them closer to the heart of the dark network's influence, and the weight of their mission pressed heavily on them.

Elara, leading the group, kept a sharp eye on the map and their surroundings. "We're approaching the general area indicated on the map. We need to be cautious; the citadel may have been protected by powerful wards and traps."
