Kaelen's mind raced as Sylas's words settled over him. Now that he thought about it, his friends had mentioned they were aiming for a spire in this layer. Could it be the same one? Could it share the same mystical importance as the one in the Crimson Peaks?
As if sensing Kaelen's thoughts, Sylas tilted his head slightly, his piercing gaze locking onto him.
"What you're thinking… you're probably correct," the elf said with an air of certainty.
"The spires, regardless of where they are, are far more sacred than most mortals realize. They're not just relics—they're conduits, connections to something greater."
Kaelen nodded slowly, still digesting the revelation.
Sylas's voice softened, almost wistful.
"The Crimson Peaks… so that's what they call it now."
He let out a faint sigh.
"Tell me, Kaelen—did you manage to get inside the spire you mentioned?"
Kaelen's expression darkened as he recalled the events.
