Chương 53: The Nexus Beckons

The Abyssal Nexus loomed ahead, its pulsating glow spilling tendrils of light into the oppressive darkness. Each pulse resonated deep within Daniel, matching the rhythm of his heartbeat. His body, though battered and strained from the battle with the Leviathan, felt drawn toward the mysterious construct, as if the Nexus itself were beckoning him forward.

Mira swam beside him, her movements cautious but determined. Her gaze flicked between Daniel and the Nexus, her expression unreadable. The aftermath of their confrontation with the Leviathan weighed heavily on both of them, but the journey was far from over.

"Do you feel that?" Mira finally broke the silence, her voice low and tense.

Daniel nodded, his grip tightening around the now-dim Abyssal Nexus Shard. "It's like... it's calling me."
