Capítulo 535: Chapter 535: Clash of Shadows

The fortress was a hive of activity as the Shadow Shard's forces drew closer. Torches flickered along the ramparts, casting a warm but insufficient light against the encroaching darkness. The air was charged with anticipation, each heartbeat a countdown to the inevitable clash.

Elara stood at the forefront of the defenders, her gaze sweeping over the prepared battlements. Soldiers and mages alike were stationed at key positions, ready to repel the attack. The fortress had been fortified and reinforced, but the coming battle promised to be fierce.

Cedric's team had successfully retrieved the artifact and was en route back to the fortress. Their arrival would be crucial in turning the tide, but until then, Elara's focus was on holding the line against the Shadow Shard's army.
