Aiden nodded, his mind racing. He scanned the chamber, identifying key points where the leyline energy converged. If they could disable those nodes, the ritual would collapse.
"Kira, target the nodes on the left," he ordered. "Marcus, take the right. The rest of you, cover their positions. I'll handle the center."
The team moved into position, their movements synchronized and precise. Aiden waited until everyone was in place before giving the signal.
"Go."
Arrows flew, striking the leyline nodes with pinpoint accuracy. Explosions of light and energy erupted across the chamber, and the chanting faltered as the robed figures scrambled to stabilize the ritual.
Aiden surged forward, his blade flashing as he cut down the nearest acolytes. He reached the central node and drove his sword into its core. The crystalline structure cracked, its glow dimming as the leyline energy began to dissipate.
