Chapter 1659: The Aftermath of Shadows

The air in the chamber was thick with the residual hum of energy, but the oppressive weight that had filled the room only moments before had now lifted. The Shadow Shard was gone, its dark presence dissipating like smoke caught in a gust of wind. Elara stood motionless, her body trembling with exhaustion as she tried to comprehend what had just transpired.

Her eyes drifted over to Morgana, who was still standing near the pedestal, her hand raised as if she were holding onto the last threads of the ritual. The sorceress's expression was a mixture of relief and uncertainty. The energy in the room had been intense, but now, there was an odd sense of stillness, as though something greater had been disturbed.
