In Fallen City,
countless awakeners had originally been busy with their own affairs.
But in the very next mont, the sudden prompt that appeared before their eyes left every one of them frozen in brief shock.
"[Godfiend Trials]? The legendary Instance has actually appeared again!"
"A Tid Treasure Instance—a place like that is sothing we absolutely cannot miss!"
"Anyone forming a party? We’re leaving imdiately! Hurry!"
In the next instant, the entire Fallen City erupted into motion. Endless numbers of awakeners surged toward the city gates like a plague of locusts, forming a vast black tide!
Quite a few awakeners who had no idea what was going on were stunned when they saw the scene, their faces filling with surprise.
"What the hell is happening?? Did another war break out or sothing??"
"Brother, stop standing around! A Tid Treasure Instance has appeared—let’s go now! We might make a huge profit!"
At the sa ti, the surrounding city-states—Wrath City, Destruction City, and many others...
After learning that [Godfiend Trials] had reappeared, countless city-states all rushed toward Whitemist Town at top speed.
Only five minutes later,
as the Runic Array stabilized, a gigantic portal appeared in the very center of Whitemist Town’s plaza.
Caelan narrowed his eyes, and [Eye of Insight] activated at once.
At the sa ti, the information for [Godfiend Trials] appeared before him.
[Godfiend Trials]
[Entry Requirents: Awakeners under the age of 25 who have awakened a class. No race restrictions.]
[Friendly Reminder: You are being rejected by the administrator of the Divine Tomb and are temporarily unable to enter.]
[Description: An extrely ancient region. It is said that several eras ago, a great number of powerful beings fell here. After entering, as long as you complete the challenges left behind by the Heroic Spirits of those mighty experts, you can receive the Heroic Spirits’ gifts.]
[Note: The Heroic Spirits’ gifts are random, but the more powerful the Heroic Spirit, the richer the reward. In addition, the higher the floor of the trial ground, the stronger the Heroic Spirits will be. Please act within your limits!]
So this was the location of the Divine Tomb.
Only, with the changes brought by the passage of ages, perhaps even its na had changed.
But the location should still be that of the Divine Tomb!
And the rules of [Godfiend Trials] were simple—it was entirely a matter of using one’s own strength to claim rewards.
Especially with the age restriction in place, this was absolutely the most advantageous kind of condition for Caelan.
Just then, large numbers of demon awakeners had already appeared around Whitemist Town.
Aside from Fallen City, the other city-states actually had no idea where Whitemist Town was.
Although Whitemist Town was sowhat special, in a place like the Abyss, special locations were the least rare thing of all.
But now, maps of the Abyss were basically obtainable everywhere, so the awakeners from other city-states were only half an hour slower.
Yet that re half hour created a very obvious gap.
The awakeners of Fallen City had already entered [Godfiend Trials] and completed one run.
"As expected of a Tid Treasure Instance—what you get in here is practically equal to clearing ten ordinary Instances."
"You were just lucky. I only ran into two Heroic Spirits, and I couldn’t even beat one of them. Still, the gains were decent enough."
"Brothers, stop standing around! A Tid Treasure Instance can be fard endlessly, but Heroic Spirits are limited—hurry up!"
Soon afterward, huge numbers of demon awakeners poured into [Godfiend Trials].
Standing in the distance, Evelyn could not help but reveal a worried expression when she saw this.
Originally, the plan had been for her and Caelan to co here and loot treasures together.
But now, the only two who could not enter were the two of them.
And the reason for all this was entirely because that senior, the Supre Staff, had gotten into a huge quarrel with the administrator of the Divine Tomb.
So...
Should she maybe apologize?
Just as Evelyn was hesitating, Caelan suddenly stepped forward and gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Don’t be so tense. Relax. The treasures inside the Divine Tomb aren’t that easy to obtain."
At that point, Caelan paused, and a trace of disdain entered his voice.
"As for those awakeners who just went in, their strength is nothing special. The rewards they’ll get are nothing more than scraps."
As he said this, Caelan slightly narrowed his eyes and looked toward Severin with a faint hint of anticipation.
As the greatest prodigy of the Dark Unicorn clan, Severin had already stepped into the six-star realm and was being raised as the next clan head.
And the mont he appeared, quite a few demon awakeners who had already given up instantly perked up and decisively chose to remain in Whitemist Town to watch.
"I wonder if Severin, that peerless genius of the Dark Unicorn clan, can make it to the second floor!"
"Yeah. So many of us could only wander around on the first floor. We didn’t even qualify to enter the second."
"I hope Severin can break into the second floor. If he does, we might be able to follow him in and pick up a few leftover gifts from so trash-tier Heroic Spirits."
"Severin is incredibly strong—he’ll definitely be fine! And the succubus Balinne is already eager to try as well. I think breaking through the first floor is only a matter of ti."
At that mont, soone noticed the two human awakeners, Caelan and Evelyn.
"Hey, look! There are two human awakeners over there!"
"Human awakeners? Why are they here? Don’t tell they want to enter [Godfiend Trials] too?"
"Hey, humans! [Godfiend Trials] is the territory of our demon race. If you know what’s good for you, get the hell out of here and stop trying to join the fun, got it?"
One of them, a vicious-looking One-Eyed Demon, glared fiercely in Caelan’s direction with his single massive eye wide open.
But in the very next mont, all his attention was drawn to Evelyn.
The One-Eyed Demon greedily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then a lewd smile spread across his face.
"Heh heh heh... human beauties are the most delicious food in the world. What luck today—I can actually taste sothing this exquisite."
"And especially the calves—those taste the best. Tender, soft, and springy. One light bite, and it feels like juice will burst right out!"
As the One-Eyed Demon muttered to himself and swallowed repeatedly, he also used an appraisal skill on Caelan’s group with caution.
He saw through Evelyn’s level—peak five-star.
As for that human male...
His strength looked far too weak; he could not even be appraised properly!
So the One-Eyed Demon swayed his huge single eye and said to Caelan,
"Kid, get lost right now. This is your only chance to stay alive."
"As long as you can dodge my Monocular Ray, you get to live. Otherwise... heh heh!"
Caelan rely swept a calm glance over the One-Eyed Demon.
"Noisy."
In the next instant, he lightly snapped his fingers.
That One-Eyed Demon was instantly shredded into pieces by countless streaks of sword light!
"Evelyn, want to try a different way of playing?"
