章節 1274: Chapter 1274: The Rebirth of Light

As they left the Heart Chamber, an almost tangible serenity settled over Kael, Morgana, and Darien. The light within the sanctum flowed seamlessly through the crystal walls, illuminating their path with a newfound warmth and clarity. They had faced the darkness, not just as individuals, but as a unified force, and now the very air seemed to hum in gratitude.

The corridors of the sanctum, once cold and indifferent, now resonated with a gentle energy that matched the rhythmic glow of Morgana's pendant. Each step brought them closer to the sanctum's entrance, where the brilliant blue sky awaited them. The weight of the battles, both internal and external, began to lift, replaced by a quiet sense of fulfillment.

But as they neared the exit, the atmosphere subtly shifted. Kael noticed first—a faint distortion in the crystal walls, like ripples on a still pond disturbed by an unseen force. He stopped, holding up a hand to alert the others.
