“No good, this guy's perception is even keener than I thought!”
A flash of shock crossed Caelan's mind. Faced with the whistling, fierce sword energy, he quickly calmed down and ordered Shadow Demon to hide. Shadow Demon flashed, trying to escape the range of the sword energy's attack, but it was still grazed by one of the sword energies, spilling blood and exposing its figure to everyone's view. Its distorted face was full of pain and anger, and it let out a low growl.
“Just as ugly. Looks like you're in league with those guys in the mine!”Edgar let out a sneer as he looked at Shadow Demon, his eyes full of disdain and murderous intent. He clenched the machete in his hands, gave his feet a hard push, and charged at Shadow Demon like lightning.
“So fast!”
Caelan's heart tightened, and he quickly told Shadow Demon to retreat using the terrain as cover. But all was in vain. Even Shadow Demon's speed, which he was most proud of, was clearly inferior to Edgar's. In less than ten seconds, Shadow Demon, who was fleeing like crazy, was easily caught up to by Edgar. Edgar leaped high into the air, his curved blade gleaming in the sunlight. With a sharp swing, Shadow Demon's head was instantly severed and it rolled to the ground. Before he died, Shadow Demon's eyes were filled with endless anger, not only Shadow Demon's but also Caelan's.
In the Dark Abyss, Abyss Sovereign—Caelan, his gaze became deep and cold, like an icy lake on a cold night. He was truly enraged!
Outside the Iron Mine, Seth saw Edgar cleanly slay the Shadow Demon and his face broke into a smile of extreme pleasure. His bushy eyebrows rose slightly, his eyes flashing with appreciation, and he nodded repeatedly.
“Edgar, it seems that your strength has improved again. You are worthy of being the strongest warrior in my Gluia Town.”
Upon hearing the praise, Edgar bowed slightly, his expression solemn, to express his gratitude for Seth's praise. However, his gaze glanced obliquely at the corpse of the Shadow Demon that had collapsed nearby, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of doubt in his eyes. At the very last moment just before he beheaded it, they locked eyes, and he read malice and anger in the monster's eyes, as well as a hint of inexplicable playfulness. Edgar thought to himself, the guys in the mine cave before were very weak and had extremely low intelligence. The Shadow Demon that just appeared was obviously much stronger than those guys in the mine, and the most crucial point was that it seemed to have extremely high intelligence and would actually conceal its whereabouts. This made him feel very strange, and he felt that there might be quite a few powerful guys behind this force.
Edgar pursed his lips tightly and his eyes were firm. If these ugly guys give up, that's fine! If they dare to come, he will definitely make these monsters go back without coming back! He is very confident in his strength. As Seth had said, he could almost be considered the most powerful in Gluia Town! Not only was his level extremely high, but he also had the full set of equipment Seth had given him. Edgar straightened his body slightly, and the equipment shimmered with a metallic sheen in the sunlight. A full set of equipment was very rare in the entire dwarven kingdom, let alone in Gluia Town.

==============================================
...
In the Dark Abyss, six hideous Gyrus Demons stood majestically, exuding a chilling aura of evil. Behind them, six armies of demons, each carrying their spoils, marched with heavy steps through the crimson Abyssal Gate. Like a surging black tide, they poured into the Dark Abyss, the heavy sound of their footsteps echoing in the empty abyss like a dull drumbeat.
Caelan stood quietly, his black robe fluttering gently in the weak breeze. His cold face was like a sculpture, with clearly defined angles and corners. When he saw the mountains of loot, his expression eased slightly, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips rose slightly.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Caelan urgently recalled the six armies of demons, and although the timing had been a little hasty, the amount of plundered loot was still considerable.
Caelan narrowed his eyes slightly as he scanned the loot. He slowly walked over and carefully cleaned the items. He desperately needed resource points right now, so he didn't hesitate to take most of the items to the Arcane Treasure Exchange to exchange them. As the items disappeared one by one, the resource point count kept jumping up.
[Exchange successful, 460 resource points obtained]
[Exchange successful, 390 resource points obtained]
[Exchange successful, 180 resource points obtained]
[Redeemed successfully, obtained 810 resource points]
...
Eventually, Caelan's gaze fixed on the four items in front of him. Two of the items emitted a soft white light, while the remaining two emitted a more majestic green light.
[you have obtained the equipment –Goblin Leather Armor (Quality: D, Type: Headgear, Required Level: 3), …]
[you have obtained the equipment –Centaur Power Leggings (Quality: D, Type: Legging, Required Level: 4), …]
[you have obtained the equipment –Centaur Wind's Ring (Quality: C, Type: Accessory, Required Level: 5), …]
[you have obtained the equipment –Centaur Swift Boots (Quality: C, Type: Boots, Required Level: 5), …]
Caelan slowly reached out and picked up the Centaur Swift Boots, which gave off a mysterious green light. He gently stroked the surface of the boots, feeling the slight coolness and tough texture. These boots were exquisite and unique. The upper part of the boots was made of tough leather, and it was covered in ancient runes that seemed to be flickering slightly. There were a few green gems embedded in the boot shaft, emitting a soft light like stars twinkling in the night sky. The bottom of the boots had a complex pattern as if they contained some kind of magical power.
Centaur Swift Boots was the equipment dropped by the powerful Centaur tribe that had just been surrounded and suppressed. It was a piece of C-quality equipment with not-bad attribute bonuses, and Caelan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Caelan's gaze then swept to Centaur Wind's Ring. This ring had a simple appearance, with a galloping Centaur engraved on the face of the ring, emitting a faint green glow. As expected, most of the Centaur equipment was of C-quality.
Under Caelan's instructions, during this period, the six demon armies mainly focused on plundering several Centaur tribes. They swept through the Centaur territory like a black whirlwind. Counting the three Centaur pieces of equipment obtained this time, they have already gathered four, which will also have an additional set attribute bonus. After careful consideration, Caelan decided to give them all to the same Gyrus Demon.
This Gyrus Demon was already superior among its six kinds, and its bronze scales were denser and its black wings sharper. When it saw the four pieces of equipment, its red eyes revealed an unmistakable excitement. With the help of the four pieces of equipment, its strength had improved considerably. In particular, its AGI had soared from an already intimidating 63 points to 67 points. With its agile figure, it is like a black flash of lightning, able to pierce the void in an instant. It can stir up a bloody storm on the battlefield at any time, filling the enemy with fear at the mere sound of its approach.
Looking at the excited Gyrus Demon in front of him, which had just received its equipment, Caelan's expression was grave. He slightly raised his chin and fixed his gaze on the Gyrus Demon.
“You, go scout the area around the Iron Mine and keep a close eye on the dwarf caravan.”
“Remember, you must conceal your movements,”
Caelan's voice was low and powerful, full of majesty, as he gave his solemn instructions. With the AGI of this Gyrus Demon, concealing oneself would be difficult, and even the mighty dwarf warrior would be unable to detect it.
At the thought of Edgar, Caelan's mind once again conjured up the tragic scene of the complete annihilation of the demons in the Iron Mine. It was as if he was once again seeing Edgar holding a sharp curved blade, closing in on and slaying the Shadow Demon at an extremely terrifying speed. The image was so clear as if it were happening right in front of his eyes.
Caelan frowned tightly and slowly rubbed his temples.
