The chamber shook again.
Fragments of stone continued falling from the ceiling as the enormous breach entity shifted its massive body. The cracked pillars surrounding the barrier chamber flickered with unstable energy, their glowing runes struggling to maintain the protective formation around the abyss.
Adrian stood at the center of the room.
The Bond Network pulsed through his mind like a living system.
Five anchors.
Five sources of strength.
Seraphine.
Lyra.
Kaelith.
Aria.
Elara.
Together, their mana threads formed a glowing structure that spread across the entire chamber.
Yet even with that power…
The creature towering before them remained terrifying.
Its massive wings scraped against the stone walls while dark energy seeped from the gaps in its armored scales.
It looked less like a monster and more like a walking catastrophe.
The creature's glowing red eyes focused on Adrian again.
"You continue to interfere."
