Chapter 142: Echoes of the Past

While the Reclaimers celebrated, Leo began to experience strange dreams. In these dreams, he saw glimpses of a distant past—images of ancient civilizations and shadowy figures manipulating the portals. The dreams hinted at a lingering darkness, suggesting that The Herald's defeat might not have been the end of their troubles.

Leo shared his dreams with Sofia, who took them seriously. Together, they began researching the history of the portals and the ancient civilizations that once inhabited the realms. Their investigation revealed that the ancient civilization had faced a similar threat—a shadowy force that sought to control the portals for its own gain.

As they delved deeper into the past, they discovered that the artifacts they had used to restore balance were originally created to contain this ancient darkness. If the balance shifted again, the darkness could return, threatening not only the Reclaimers but the entire world.
