Chapter 246 -246-Looks Good, but Not Bright Enough
On the outskirts of [Godfiend Trials],
nearly every demon awakener wore an expression of intense heartbreak.
Long ago, [Godfiend Trials] had been the place where most ordinary demon awakeners could defy fate and change their destinies.
But now?
[Godfiend Trials] had been completely destroyed!
Caelan’s gaze swept over Evelyn beside him, and he paused slightly in surprise.
Compared to just now, the current Evelyn looked like a completely different person.
The mature [Coldmoon Beastskin Skirt], paired with [Darkspider Silk Stockings], perfectly accentuated her curves, showing off her figure to the fullest.
Perhaps sensing Caelan’s heated gaze, Evelyn’s cheeks flushed red, and she unconsciously pressed her legs together.
"Lord Caelan... do my equipment pieces look good?"
Caelan took a moment to appreciate the look, then nodded lightly.
"The outfit works very well. Shame the headlights aren’t bright enough. They still need a bit more development."
Evelyn: ???!
Headlights? What was that supposed to mean? She had no idea what Caelan was talking about.
Just then, the Supreme Staff popped out from who knew where.
It circled around Caelan several times before finally saying cheerfully,
"So, what do you think? Isn’t the little skirt I prepared for Evelyn absolutely beautiful?"
"Little Caelan, now that you’ve obtained the [Essence of the Sun Ancient Tree], don’t forget—you owe Evelyn a favor!"
No one understood the value of the [Essence of the Sun Ancient Tree] better than the Supreme Staff.
If not for its limitations, it would never have been willing to hand over such a precious material to Caelan.
For example, Caelan did not know that the [Essence of the Sun Ancient Tree] could not resurrect an inheritor.
Likewise, it would have no effect whatsoever on a Chosen One.
For Chosen Ones, their existence itself was entangled with too many factors. As a result, once danger—or even death—befell them, there was almost no method capable of restoring them.
But in truth, the Supreme Staff had underestimated Caelan’s [Eye of Insight].
Caelan had actually already learned the exact effect of the [Essence of the Sun Ancient Tree] long ago.
Even so, for Caelan, the [Essence of the Sun Ancient Tree] still held immense value.
"No matter what you need, I’ll help you."
Caelan smiled as he spoke.
Evelyn stepped forward, a gentle smile appearing on her face.
"Lord Caelan, your strength should have already reached the peak of five-star rank by now, right? But we still need to treat the matter of collecting Fragments of History seriously."
"And don’t forget our earlier agreement—to complete the [Class Star Ascension Quest] together."
Evelyn still cared deeply about the mirror challenge. Even now, she still had little confidence in facing it.
But if Caelan was there, she felt much more at ease.
Because after spending time with him, she had come to realize that Caelan was truly someone she could rely on.
Caelan, however, remained calm, speaking in an even tone.
"Don’t worry. I’ve already made preparations for that. I’m also curious what kind of existence my mirrored self will be."
Unlike Evelyn, whose identity was merely that of an inheritor,
Caelan had an extremely clear understanding of his own strength.
And precisely because of that, he was even more concerned about how difficult the mirror challenge would be.
After all, no one understood the threat posed by a mirror self better than he did.
To be honest, it really was a huge problem.
Just then, the other demon awakeners noticed Caelan and Evelyn.
"You two are practically sinners of the Abyss!"
"Damned bastards, do you even know what you’ve done?!"
The demon awakeners’ faces were filled with anger.
If not for the overwhelming strength Caelan and Evelyn had displayed earlier, they would have already rushed forward as a group.
"Bastard! Human bastards! You’re pests of the Abyss!"
"Compensate us! You must compensate us for our losses, or we will never accept this!"
Hearing their complaints, Caelan frowned slightly and swept his gaze across them.
"Shut up, all of you!"
In the next instant, a powerful aura erupted from Caelan’s body.
That crushing pressure instantly startled the surrounding demon awakeners.
For a moment, the entire area fell deathly silent.
No one had expected Caelan to be this arrogant!
He was just a mere human—what gave him the right?
Was it really just because he was strong?
Well... in the Abyss, strength really did make the rules. And these demon awakeners genuinely had no way to deal with Caelan.
Seeing that none of them even dared say a word, Caelan suddenly found the whole thing unbearably dull.
"Forget it. Let’s go. What a bunch of spineless cowards."
After saying that, Caelan turned and left with Evelyn, leaving the demon awakeners staring at each other.
"Damned bastard!"
The demon awakeners present were grinding their teeth in fury. If not for the fact that they could not beat him, they would have attacked long ago!
"Damn those humans! We’ll remember what happened today!"
"No, I’m going back to my clan right now! I’ll have them demand justice and kill those two humans!"
But just then, one of the demon awakeners spoke weakly,
"I think everyone should calm down first..."
"You may not know this, but those two humans have rather special identities. They’re guests of the Lord of Abyss..."
...
Fallen City
Caelan and Evelyn returned to the streets and planned to take a good look around.
After all, this was the Abyss. Many of the goods sold here simply did not exist on the human side.
If traveling between the two worlds did not consume such an enormous amount of energy, then simply buying low in one world and selling high in the other would already be enough to earn staggering profits.
"Excuse me, how much is this Sending Stone?"
Evelyn walked up to a stall, picked up a Sending Stone, and asked the Nightfiend shopkeeper.
A warm smile immediately appeared on the Nightfiend’s face, creating a sharp contrast with his savage appearance.
"Honored guest, you can take it home for only 2 Mana Ore Stones! We’re currently running a special offer—buy one, get one free!"
Hearing that, Evelyn could not help showing a look of surprise.
A Sending Stone like this would sell for at least 100,000 gold coins on the human side.
But two Mana Ore Stones would cost only 500 gold coins there.
It was obvious from this alone that there was a massive price gap between the two worlds.
This was way too cheap!
Seeing that Evelyn had still not said whether she wanted to buy it, the Nightfiend shopkeeper continued pitching enthusiastically,
"Beautiful miss, the Sending Stones in our shop are the highest quality in all of Fallen City!"
"How about it... would you like to buy a pair and give them a try?"
