Alert

As Emery's thoughts raced, a continuous stream of notifications intruded upon his consciousness, a mechanical voice resonating from the depths of the ruins.

[Alert, Alert, Alert]

[System compromised]

These alarming messages were accompanied by a realization. Emery now understood how the dark elves had managed to bypass his formidable defenses and inflict harm upon the high elves who had been safeguarding the crystal. It had all been orchestrated by a shadowy group known as the Void Stalkers—eight magus adorned in distinctive grey uniforms, reminiscent of those Emery had faced at the Demons' Pit. These magus specialized in shadow and space magic, which allowed them to strike with deadly precision, exploiting weaknesses in the high elves' defenses.

Among the enigmatic Void Stalkers, one figure stood out—an unexpected human magus. His malevolent smile betrayed his malicious intent as he callously extinguished the life of yet another high elf before him.
