章 1173: Chapter 1173: The Awakening of the Ward

As the radiant light of the Elder Tree enveloped them, Amara felt a profound connection to the ancient power coursing through the grove. The energy resonated with the very essence of their being, weaving together their individual strengths into a formidable force. The air crackled with magic, and the whispers of the tree filled their minds, echoing with age-old wisdom and promise.

"Feel it," Amara whispered, her heart racing. "This is the power we've been seeking."

Kirin closed his eyes, absorbing the energy as it swirled around them. "It's… alive," he murmured, awed. "Like it's welcoming us."

The light intensified, and the grove transformed into a shimmering sanctuary. The leaves of the Elder Tree glowed with vibrant hues, casting ethereal patterns on the ground. It was as if the tree itself had awakened, responding to their courage and unity.
