Chapter 260 Shadow Figure Returns

• POV: Luna
• We had six hours to prepare before the entity made its move. I felt it through the balance we shared. Through the connection that now defined my existence. It wasn't hiding its intentions anymore. Wasn't being subtle. Just building power. Gathering resources. Preparing for confrontation it believed would either break me or prove me unbreakable.
• The artifact fragment I'd bonded with pulsed violently. Responding to the entity's energy buildup. Resonating with otherworld power that was gathering like storm clouds before lightning strike.
