As the team began to catch their breath and gather themselves after the intense battle, the atmosphere in the molten chamber shifted. A soft hum filled the air, followed by the flicker of a glowing rune that appeared near the entrance. It was the special signal, a direct message from Liana.
Moments later, the rune flared, and Liana stepped through the door. She moved with her usual composed grace, her eyes immediately scanning the area.
The molten fragments of the Fire Spirit still smoldered, and the oppressive heat lingered, but the massive creature had been effectively neutralized, just as Astron had planned.
Liana's sharp gaze fell upon the dormant core of the Fire Spirit, now significantly weakened but still intact. She raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed by what she saw. The team watched as she approached, the faint glow from the molten rivers casting shadows on her face. She took a moment to observe the state of the chamber, her expression thoughtful.
