Chapter 880: Chapter 880: The Echoes of Second Chances

The air in the chamber crackled with dark energy as Kirin and Thane prepared for their assault. The robed figures around the altar were absorbed in their dark ritual, their chants rising and falling in an eerie cadence. The dark crystal atop the altar pulsed with an unsettling rhythm, casting an ominous glow over the chamber.

Kirin glanced at Thane, who nodded in understanding. The plan was simple: create a diversion to disrupt the ritual and buy enough time for Liora to dismantle the runes that bound the dark crystal's power. Kirin took a deep breath, then stepped into the chamber, his footfall echoing ominously.

"Now!" Kirin shouted.

Thane surged forward, his weapon raised. The robed figures turned in alarm as Thane charged, striking the first figure with a powerful blow. The chamber erupted into chaos as the figures scrambled to defend themselves, their chants breaking into discordant shouts.
