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.
