Chapter 1573: The Divide's Dissonance

The aftermath of the battle was a quiet storm, the air thick with the weight of what had just transpired. The chamber, once filled with the chaotic roar of energy, now lay still and empty, as though it had exhaled a final, exhausted breath. Elara stood at the center, her body trembling with the aftershocks of the power she had just channeled. Her heart pounded, and her breath came in ragged gasps as the adrenaline that had sustained her through the fight began to fade.

Kade was the first to speak, his voice low, almost reverent. "Is it over?"

Elara didn't answer immediately. She glanced around, her eyes lingering on the edges of the now-empty rift. The darkness had receded, leaving behind nothing but the faintest traces of its malevolent presence. The chamber was eerily silent, as though it were waiting for something—waiting for her to confirm that they had truly succeeded.
