Bab 720: Chapter 720: The Lull Before the Battle

The sun had barely risen when the group set out from the shrine, leaving the cold stone chamber behind as they ventured into the wilds once more.

Elara led the way, the Blade of Eternity strapped to her back, its weight both a comfort and a reminder of the burden she carried. She felt the subtle thrum of power within the blade, a steady pulse that seemed to resonate with the very earth beneath her feet. They were heading toward the Sapphire Shores, where the Shrine of Water awaited them. The trial there would be their next test, and with it, they would unlock the third elemental force needed to fully empower the blade.
