The Orcupine delegates, their backs bristling with gleaming spines, retorted in sharp crescendos.

Nexus-1, execute the scan.For an instant, the entire chamber’s defenses faltered—an imperceptible flicker to ordinary eyes, but to Elias, whose mana sensitivity bordered on divine madness, it was as though the veil of reality had lifted.

The ground itself seemed to hold its breath beneath the fury of their battle.Every group was well-seasoned, bearing crests and colors that commanded respect across the Falcon Region.
