章 866: Chapter 866: The Wraith’s Lair

The Guardians split into teams to tackle the critical locations identified from the ancient texts. Elara, Lyra, and Henry were assigned to investigate a site deep within the southern mountains—a location noted for its history of dark rituals. Their journey began at dawn, with the first light barely touching the peaks of the craggy mountains.

The terrain grew rougher as they ascended, the path winding through steep, rocky slopes. Despite the grueling climb, the team pressed on, knowing that every step brought them closer to uncovering more about Varek's plans.

As they neared the base of the central peak, a sense of foreboding settled over them. The air was thick with an unnatural chill, and the forest surrounding the mountains seemed eerily silent. Elara led the way, her senses attuned to any sign of danger.
