Chapter 237 Ambush

• The journey toward the border fortress was far from smooth. The group, now bound by an uneasy alliance with the Celestial Order, made their way through the rugged terrain, passing through dense forests, steep mountain passes, and barren wastelands. The atmosphere was thick with the weight of their mission—each step felt heavier, laden with the looming uncertainty of what they would find at the fortress.
• Ariella's thoughts often drifted to the harbinger’s cryptic words. “The Abyss will consume all,” he had said, his voice carrying an eerie finality. The danger they were about to face was no longer a distant threat; it was a reality pressing in from all sides. Yet, amid her fear, Ariella found strength in the unwavering resolve of her companions.
• Kael, always brooding, rarely spoke on the journey, but his actions were clear. His eyes, sharp and vigilant, scanned the horizon as though expecting an attack at every turn. Seraphine, ever the fiery spirit, seemed to draw strength from the flame that always burned within her, her hand often resting on her sword hilt, ready to strike at a moment's notice. Lysander, the quiet strategist, kept to himself but offered invaluable insights about the route and potential threats ahead.
