Chapter 15: The Crystal Spire

The fifteenth floor, known as the Crystal Spire, reached towards the heavens in a dazzling display of crystalline architecture. Prismatic lights bathed the surroundings, and the air crackled with arcane energy. The challenges here were not just physical but demanded a profound understanding of the crystal magic that permeated the entire floor.

Ye Chen and Laria faced crystalline constructs that mirrored their every move, forcing them to employ not just strength but strategy. The Crystal Spire held the essence of the tower's magic, and only those who mastered its crystalline mysteries could proceed.

As they ascended the spire, they encountered a group of ethereal scholars who sought to unlock the secrets of the crystal magic. Among them was a scholar named Meridia, whose knowledge proved invaluable. However, a looming shadow cast doubt on their alliance, hinting at the presence of a darker force that sought to manipulate the very foundations of the tower.
