Capítulo 599: Chapter 599: The Ritual of Sealing

The Citadel was abuzz with activity as Elara, Morgana, Thorne, and Selene returned with the three crucial artifacts: the Crystal of Lumina, the Shield of Eternity, and the Warding Stone. The air was thick with anticipation and the urgency of their mission. They had retrieved the artifacts, but the hardest part was yet to come—performing the ritual to seal the Shadow Shard's essence.

In the heart of the Citadel, an ancient chamber had been prepared for the ritual. The chamber was lined with protective wards and inscribed with runes to contain and focus the immense power they were about to harness. The central area was cleared, with the artifacts laid out on an intricately carved stone altar.

The team assembled in the chamber, their expressions a mixture of focus and determination. Selene took charge of the preparations, her knowledge of ancient magic essential for the ritual's success.
