Bab 705: Chapter 705: The Path of the Ancients

The journey to the ancient temple was fraught with challenges, as the dense forest seemed to close in around them with every step. The towering trees, their branches intertwined like the arms of a thousand guardians, created an atmosphere both protective and ominous. The forest was alive with the sound of rustling leaves, distant animal calls, and the whisper of the wind, as if the very woods were aware of their passage.

Elara led the way, her hand resting lightly on the Blade of Eternity, which was strapped to her back. The blade seemed to pulse with a faint, steady rhythm, as if it were alive, attuned to the ancient forces that still lingered in this forest. Kirin walked beside her, his eyes constantly scanning their surroundings for any sign of danger. He was more alert than ever, knowing that Nyx's influence could reach them even in a place as sacred as this.
