Chapter 240

The team moved cautiously, their flashlights cutting through the darkness. They encountered several traps along the way, pressure plates, tripwires, and hidden pits, but they managed to avoid them, thanks to their training and vigilance.

As they neared the central chamber, they heard faint chanting ahead. Moving silently, they crept closer, their senses heightened. In the dim light of the chamber, they saw a group of cultists gathered around a pedestal, the Obsidian Heart glowing with a dark, pulsating light.

"We need to take them out quickly," Veronica whispered. "We can't let them complete their ritual."

With silent signals, they moved into position. On Veronica's mark, they launched their attack, striking with precision and speed. The cultists were caught off guard, their chanting cut short as they fell under the team's assault.
