章 962: Chapter 962: Secrets hidden in the darkness

The southern realms, once vibrant and thriving, now bore the scars of recent disturbances. The atmosphere was tense, with an unsettling quiet that contrasted sharply with the normal bustle of daily life. Dark clouds hung low in the sky, and the air was thick with an uneasy chill. The team—Elara, Kirin, and Seraphina—arrived at the outskirts of the affected area, ready to investigate the growing threat.

As they approached the heart of the disturbance, they were met by local leaders who briefed them on the recent events. "Our scouts have reported sightings of shadowy figures and strange phenomena," one of the leaders explained. "Several villages have experienced unexplained disappearances and disturbances. We fear a resurgence of dark magic, but its origins remain unclear."

Elara nodded, her gaze resolute. "We'll need to conduct a thorough investigation. We'll split into smaller teams to cover more ground and gather as much information as possible."
