The journey ahead was unclear, but Lucian now had a greater understanding of the forces at play. The curse that had twisted this world into darkness was more than just an enemy—it was a force that corrupted everything it touched, and it had already claimed the land, the creatures, and even the very mana that flowed through this place.
With new purpose, Lucian set off once more, his mind focused on his next step. Finding Xeran was now a matter of life and death, but he also knew that the answers he sought were tied to the very source of the curse.
As he walked through the eerie silence of the land, the wind whispering through the lifeless trees, Lucian couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. His every movement seemed to stir the darkness around him, and he couldn't help but feel that the world itself was conspiring against him.
But there was no turning back. He had a mission, and nothing would stop him.
