Chapter 141: Echoes of Dark Magic
Heroes were about to depart from the northern territories, casting a kind of uneasy quietness over the village. If they had won against immediate danger, confronting them with dark magic and the old rituals that remained in their minds, thickening the air with promises of further mysteries and challenges lying ahead.For the last time, Ariadne, Seraphina, Captain Leander, and Mira retreated to their improvised headquarters—the humble inn serving as their operational center. The villagers resumed their usual chores and were thankfully appreciative, but in the eyes of the latter, some shadow of fear and hesitation remained."We've managed to stabilize the region for now," Ariadne said, her voice steady but wearied. "But we need to remain vigilant. Whoever performed those rituals might still be out there, and they could strike again."Captain Leander nodded grimly. "Agreed. We should leave a small contingent here to keep eyes on things and to help these villagers however possible. I shal

The northern territories slowly started their resurrection through the help of Ariadne, Seraphina, Captain Leander, and Mira from the pinned threat of dark magic. The village may have been scarred, but the pen of life is back on its way to a new life under renovation; the villagers collectively worked hand in hand with new earned guts from heroes who saved them. However, as the heroes went back to their stations, darkness prevailed and prepared for their journey back to Eldoria.Life in the village during those tenuous initial days after the defeat of Eryndor was beginning to show signs of recovery.

Chapter 143: Echo of the Enchanted Gateway
The village was in the course of being revived, and the air was filled with anticipations of another day more encouraging for restoration and consolidation. Amidst all this active rebuilding, heroes were being prepared for the next hard stint of their adversity.Ariadne, Seraphina, Mira, and Captain Leander met in the center hall of the village. Tapestries of maps and texts of lore attested to their ceaseless endeavor. Shadowy outlines lengthened across the floor as the candle flames danced, shimmering with the weight of their purpose."We must not become complacent," Captain Leander opened, his voice resolute. "Retaking the altar was paramount, but many of Eryndor's disciples are still free and dangerous."Mira nodded, scanning a few of the documents spread out before them. "We have to keep a watch for the area around the altar and the village. At the first sign of dark magic, the alarm needs to be sounded."Ariadne added, tracing her fingers over the ancient runes. "We need to decip

Chapter 144: The Path of Shadows
The journey to the convergence was dripping with tension, an underlying sense of urgency. Ariadne, Seraphina, Mira, Captain Leander, and Elric moved in silence, one with the others, their resolution etched upon the firm lines of their faces. The weight of that realization, the nexus of power where magical energies converged, was heavy on their minds. Every step seemed important, every whisper of wind carried a meaning, and the darkening woods around them held the secrets of the unknown.With quiet watchfulness, Captain Leander marched the group, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. His eyes flickered to every shadow, to the rustling of every leaf. "We must be alert," he whispered low-voiced but with authority in his tone. "The followers of Eryndor are surely after the same prize. We can't let them get there before us."Seraphina walked beside him, her gaze straying up to the sky, where the moon was obscured behind thick clouds and the dim light filtering through the canopy above
