Chapter 703: The Past Lingers

The sanctuary's archives were vast, a labyrinth of ancient knowledge hidden deep beneath the stone walls. Lyra, along with a team of scholars, descended into the depths, each step echoing with the weight of centuries-old secrets. Their goal was clear: find the location of the heart of the world, where the fabled blade, mentioned in the prophecy, was said to reside.

The air grew cooler as they ventured deeper, the light from their enchanted torches casting flickering shadows on the walls. Dusty shelves lined the corridors, filled with scrolls and tomes that had not been touched in ages. The scholars moved with purpose, their fingers tracing over the spines of books, searching for any clue that could lead them to the weapon.
