章節 683: Chapter 683: The Fractured Realm

The journey through the labyrinthine passages had led Elara, Kirin, and Lyra to a place unlike any they had encountered before. The air was filled with a heavy silence, interrupted only by the occasional echo of their footsteps. The corridor they traversed was lined with ancient, cracked murals depicting scenes of a long-forgotten war, each image more surreal and haunting than the last.

At the end of the corridor, they reached a vast chamber with a high, domed ceiling. The room was eerily still, save for the low hum of magical energy that vibrated through the floor. In the center of the chamber stood an enormous, fractured crystal, its shards floating in mid-air and glowing with an otherworldly light.

Elara's eyes widened at the sight. "This must be the Heart of the Fractured Realm," she murmured. The Heart was said to be a source of immense power and a key to restoring balance to the world.
