Chapitre 710: The Astral Palace (11)

The fight, now more a collaborative dance than a conflict, reached a crescendo. Arpious, surrounded by the swirling shadows, extended a hand that radiated with an ethereal glow. The shadows, in response, congealed into a spectral barrier that encircled her, forming a symbiotic defense born from the depths of the Abyssal Chamber.

The cavern's atmosphere shifted, the shadows now harmonizing with the Princess of Monsters. Lady Quintara, her eyes reflecting both awe and realization, stepped forward. The dance of shadows had not only tested Arpious's mettle but had unveiled a connection that would shape the destiny of the Abyssal Palace.

As the resonance of the Abyssal Chamber subsided, the shadow monsters, once adversaries, dispersed into the darkness. Arpious stood at the center of the now tranquil cavern, her form imbued with an otherworldly luminescence. Lady Quintara approached, her voice carrying the weight of newfound understanding.
