Chapter 18: The Final Showdown

As the team explored the chamber, Victor Kane and his mercenaries launched a surprise attack. A fierce battle ensued, with both sides fighting for control of the heart of Zilar. Jackson's sacrifice had not been in vain; his training and leadership had prepared the team for this moment. They fought with everything they had, determined to protect the legacy of Zilar.

In the chaos, Kane managed to reach the crystalline structure, attempting to harness its power for himself. But the ancient Zilarians had foreseen this danger and built a safeguard into the chamber. As Kane tried to activate the structure, it unleashed a powerful energy surge, engulfing him in a blinding light. The chamber began to collapse, its power too unstable to contain.
