บท 412: Chapter 412: The Celestial Convergence

As the days passed, the tension among Elara and her team grew palpable. The celestial alignment, critical to the ritual that would seal away the Voidlord, was fast approaching. Each artifact— the **Crystal of Aether** and the **Talisman of Eternal Flame**—had been secured, but the most perilous part of their mission was yet to come: performing the counter-ritual.

In preparation, Elara and her team gathered in the village's central hall, where the Codex of the Ancients lay open on a large table. The scholar from Arathor, whose expertise had been invaluable, reviewed the final details of the ritual.

"The alignment of the celestial bodies will occur in three days," the scholar explained, his finger tracing the diagrams in the Codex. "During this time, we must perform the counter-ritual at the Nexus of Light, located at the summit of the Dawnspire Peak. This location is crucial because it is the focal point where the energies of the artifacts can be concentrated."
