The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1454

Chapter 1454: Into the Second Layer’s Sacrificial Ground Chapter 1454: Into the Second Layer’s Sacrificial Ground Cain’s aloof expression softened into a small, deliberate smile as he gestured for the Night Prince to ease his tense stance.

His voice was calm, even soothing, as he addressed the man whose fury had shaken the dream dimension just moments ago.

“There is no need for an apology, Night Prince,” Cain began, his tone measured.

“As for the secrecy, it was necessary.

I had to convince Lady Azure that I had killed Zafira.

I trust you understand why such a façade was required in order for me to earn the women’s trust and become a better spy for you.” The Night Prince studied Cain in silence, his sharp gaze betraying the calculations swirling within his mind.

Beneath his composed demeanor, he was deeply impressed-and slightly unnerved.

He was not a fool and understood that the real Cain went through all that trouble for the reward the old Anima would grant him.

However, none of that really mattered for the Night Prince.

What he cared about was the fact that Cain had managed to achieve what seemed impossible: appeasing Lady Azure by “eliminating” Zafira while simultaneously saving her life to fulfill his mission for the Night Prince.

These objectives were inherently contradictory, yet Cain had orchestrated a flawless outcome.

Such a feat required not only immense intelligence but also a level of cunning and foresight that few could hope to match.

The Night Prince felt both admiration and caution bloom within him.

Cain was an invaluable asset, someone whose loyalty could bolster his faction to new heights.

But should that loyalty falter, Cain’s capabilities would make him a dangerous adversary, one he could not let live.

Cain, of course, was fully aware of these thoughts but was not worried since when the time came, he would be ready to kill the Night Prince.

Until then, he would make sure to squeeze as much wealth as he could from the man.

Not letting himself lose too much in those thoughts, Cain’s eyes sharpened as he spoke again, injecting a note of seriousness into his tone.

“For now, Zafira must remain hidden.

If her survival becomes known, it would jeopardize my standing with Lady Azure-and likely lead to…

complications.” The Night Prince nodded immediately.

“Do not worry, Brother Laurifer.

I will ensure Zafira stays hidden until the Gu Contest begins.” His voice carried a note of compromise, though Cain detected a faint undercurrent of irritation.

While keeping Zafira hidden would hinder some of the Night Prince’s external maneuvers, he understood the necessity of discretion.

“You’ve done exceptionally well,” the Night Prince continued, his expression softening into a rare smile.

“Not only did you save Zafira, but I’ve also heard about Renan’s condition.

She’s sustained crippling wounds-wounds so severe that she won’t fully recover even by the time the Gu Contest begins.

I don’t know how you managed it, but I must say, Brother Laurifer, you’re truly a miracle worker.” The Night Prince’s satisfaction was palpable.

As for the deaths of Goldker and Alonz, he barely spared them a thought.

While they had been powerful, they were ultimately replaceable-a small price to pay for the strategic gains Cain had secured.

Cain remained silent, offering neither confirmation nor denial of the Night Prince’s words.

His expression was unreadable, and his lack of response only seemed to elevate the Prince’s opinion of him.

“Well then, Brother Laurifer,” the Night Prince said, adjusting his posture to one of regal poise.

“I will take my leave.

Expect your reward within the next few hours-I assure you, you’ll find it more than satisfactory.” He paused briefly, his aura growing solemn.

“I now see that you’re someone I can count on for the most challenging missions.

I’ll be in touch soon.” With that, the dream dimension trembled and dissipated, returning Cain’s consciousness to his body within the cultivation abode.

Cain opened his eyes, a broad, satisfied smile spreading across his face.

He had succeeded.

Through careful planning and no small amount of risk, he had fulfilled the demands of both Lady Azure and the Night Prince.

It was a delicate balancing act, but the results spoke for themselves.

His wits and schemes had passed yet another trial, reinforcing his position in the sect as a force to be reckoned with.

Taking a deep breath, Cain calmed his mind and began circulating his energy throughout his body.

He didn’t enter deep cultivation-he wanted to remain fully aware and ready for the arrival of the Night Prince’s promised reward.

True to the Night Prince’s word, several packages arrived at Cain’s cultivation abode within hours.

To any outsider, they appeared to be ordinary deliveries, likely treasures purchased through the sect’s interface.

But Cain knew better.

With a casual wave of his hand, the boxes were drawn into the abode, landing neatly before him.

He extended his Ego Wave, piercing through the containers to examine their contents.

What he found made his eyes gleam with excitement.

Inside were treasures of dark and wicked origin-items that radiated overwhelming power and carried the distinct aura of sin.

“Impressive!” Cain muttered, unable to suppress his amazement.

The treasures surpassed even his highest expectations.

It was clear the Night Prince was eager to secure Cain’s favor-and perhaps make amends for his earlier outburst.

Whatever the reason, Cain was more than pleased with the outcome.

After ensuring that no one was surveilling him and confirming that he had no unresolved matters, Cain focused his thoughts on the [Samsara Arsenal Module].

In the next instant, he vanished from his cultivation abode, transported into the module’s Second Layer.

Cain materialized in the sky of the Second Layer, the air around him charged with power.

Without hesitation, he dashed toward the Samsara Sacrificial Ground, his movements swift and purposeful.

The moment he stepped into the castle that housed the sacrificial ground, he was greeted by the overwhelming presence of the Samsara Flame.

Its radiance seemed even more intense than before, exuding a purity and majesty that hinted at a closer connection to its source-the mysterious Samsara Lord.

Cain didn’t falter.

He approached the beyond-divine flame with steady resolve; his mind focused entirely on the task ahead.

He was ready to offer his first sacrifice!
