章 211: Chapter 211: Relic Core

The golem held its ground against the black dragon, each clash of scales against stone sending tremors through the chamber. Despite the turmoil, Kain's focus remained on the search for the core of the relic.

"Over there!" Jin shouted, pointing toward a darker recess in the cavern, away from the central altar where the dragon was wreaking havoc. "I think I see something!"

They rushed toward the shadows, their breath quickening with hope. The closer they got, the more Kain felt a faint thrumming in the air from an intensely powerful spiritual power, at a level far beyond what was restricted by the relic.

He rounded a corner, and there it was: the core of the relic. Nestled in a rocky alcove high above, the core appeared to be a smooth, crystalline orb that shimmered with a rainbow of light. It was approximately the size of a head and had a translucent shield surrounding it.
