章節 71: The Core’s Enigma

The Core of the Sanctum was unlike anything Daniel or Mira had seen before. The chamber they entered was vast, its ceiling disappearing into an endless void. The walls shimmered with cascading light, displaying shifting patterns of glyphs and ancient symbols. At the center of the room hovered the Core itself—a massive, crystalline structure pulsating with vibrant energy, suspended by streams of light flowing from the walls.

The shard within Daniel surged with intensity, almost as if it were resonating with the Core.

"This is it," Daniel said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Mira nodded, her eyes locked on the pulsating crystal. "It's beautiful… but dangerous. I can feel it."

The air grew thick with an oppressive energy as they stepped closer. The Core seemed to react to their presence, its pulsations growing faster, more erratic.
