Chapter 668

As they ventured deeper into the cave, they came across a large chamber with a raised dais in the center. On the dais sat a massive stone slab, covered in the same strange symbols they had seen in the other caves. In the middle of the slab was a depression, perfectly shaped to hold the crystalline object they had found earlier.

"This must be another focus point," Nefertari mused, examining the slab closely. "But for what purpose?"

Elara pointed to the far wall, where a large, intricately carved symbol dominated the space. It was unlike anything they had ever seen, and it seemed to emanate a faint, otherworldly glow.

Jude approached the symbol, feeling a strange pull towards it. As he reached out to touch it, the glow intensified, and he felt a surge of energy course through him. It was a powerful, almost overwhelming sensation, but it also felt oddly familiar.
