Chapter 1534: Echoes of Nothingness

The battlefield lay silent, the echoes of the abyss still vibrating faintly in the air. The soldiers stood scattered among the wreckage, their faces pale and eyes hollowed by exhaustion. Some leaned on their weapons for support, while others knelt on the ground, their hands trembling as they clung to the reality of their survival. The rift was gone, sealed by Morgana's spell, yet the oppressive weight of the encounter remained.

Aiden gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, the blade still glowing faintly from the energy it had absorbed during the battle. He scanned the horizon, his instincts honed by years of warfare warning him that this silence was deceptive. His breathing was shallow, his muscles screaming for rest, but he refused to let his guard down.
