Silver radiance erupted with dazzling brilliance.

For a moment, the entire void was occupied by that intense light!

The Awakeners watching the battle had already opened their mouths wide in astonishment.

"A skill this powerful... even an 8-star Awakener wouldn’t be able to do this, right?"

"Why do I feel like this skill looks a little familiar?"

"It’s Boss Caelan! Isn’t this Boss Caelan’s famous skill? It’s just changed color, so it was a little hard to recognize!"

"Do you think Magical Girl is still alive after taking such a terrifying skill head-on?"

"I think it’ll be difficult. Although Magical Girl is very strong, even as an 8-star, I wouldn’t dare to take that skill directly!"

Just as the Awakeners were discussing heatedly,

the dazzling silver light in the void gradually faded and weakened.

The next moment, Evelyn’s figure appeared in the void once again.

Although Evelyn had not been killed and had forcibly endured this attack, anyone with sharp eyes could tell that Evelyn’s current condition was not very good.

The energy fluctuations around her body had also been greatly weakened.

It was obvious that, in this battle, she had already fallen into a disadvantage.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Evelyn.

Caelan stepped forward and gently supported Evelyn’s slightly trembling body.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

Evelyn shook her head, but her tone carried a hint of weakness.

"I’m fine. At least, I won’t die for now. Let’s chase Kate first!"

The next moment, countless streams of energy flowed back into Evelyn’s body through the Supreme Staff.

Evelyn’s condition also visibly improved.

Caelan said nothing more. Instead, he and Evelyn pursued Kate in the direction she had fled.

Although Caelan possessed [Flashstep], allowing him to move in a manner similar to teleportation,

for Evelyn, her movement efficiency was clearly even higher.

Evelyn merely lifted the Supreme Staff and waved it lightly.

A spatial rift would then appear in the void before them.

And after passing through the spatial rift, the distance they crossed was even equivalent to ten times that of [Flashstep]!

Thus, Caelan handed the initiative of traveling over to Evelyn.

After Evelyn opened a full thirty spatial rifts in succession, their figures had already reached the deepest part of the void.

What neither Evelyn nor Caelan had expected, however, was that the depths of the void were no longer the empty nothingness of the outer region.

Here, there was actually a floating island!

That was right.

In the depths of the void, logically speaking, there should have been nothing but emptiness.

But Caelan and Evelyn had seen an island floating within the void.

The surface of the island was covered in a dense forest.

But after drawing closer, they were surprised to discover that this forest was not made up of trees. Instead, it was composed of a semi-transparent, loosely clustered structure that seemed similar to some kind of fungus.

To put it simply, vast swathes of giant mushrooms had appeared!

Moreover, on the caps of these mushrooms, faint blue light flickered.

Caelan looked around, then asked,

"Evelyn, is Kate hiding here?"

Evelyn nodded, her eyes carrying considerable confidence.

"That’s right. She’s hiding here and hasn’t continued running. In fact, even if she chooses to keep fleeing, we can still get ahead of her and cut off her escape route."

Caelan nodded, then used [Eye of Insight]. Sure enough, he discovered Kate’s location.

Evelyn and Caelan exchanged glances, then moved from two different directions, cutting off Kate’s escape routes separately.

Kate seemed to sense Evelyn and Caelan’s auras as well.

She directly chose to stop where she was and did not continue fleeing. Instead, she looked rather interested as her gaze wandered between Evelyn and Caelan.

"So... are the two of you planning to join forces?"

"Don’t think I don’t know. You relied on this method to deal with Iris. But I swear to the gods, a method like this will have absolutely no effect on me!"

As Caelan’s Mirror Image, Kate had witnessed almost all of Caelan’s actions.

Facing Kate’s words, Caelan took the initiative to spread his palms, indicating that he held no malice.

"Kate, listen to me. Please stay calm. I think we can communicate properly, can’t we?"

In truth, Caelan did not want to fight right now. He also hoped that he could communicate with Kate in a friendly manner.

He vaguely had a feeling that Kate’s appearance, including Kate herself, had countless connections to him.

However, facing Caelan’s words, a sneer flashed across Kate’s face.

"My dear brother, do you still remember that you once killed me?"

"No, to be precise, you did not merely kill me. You also killed so many of our younger brothers and sisters!"

Hearing this, Caelan frowned slightly.

He could sense that Kate was deliberately changing the topic.

On the other side, Evelyn’s pupils contracted slightly, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"So... what exactly is going on?"

Evelyn’s fear was not without reason.

After all, everything Kate had said was far too horrifying.

Caelan, on the other side, frowned as well.

Because he also could not understand what Kate was talking about. He did not even know whether what she said was true or not.

"Regarding this matter, I know absolutely nothing, nor do I have any memory of it."

In truth, the current Caelan was also extremely curious about what had happened before.

Kate, on the other side, looked deeply at Caelan.

"My dear brother, I advise you to give up. I will never, ever obey your orders and return according to your wishes."

"I need freedom. I want to live properly. I want everyone to feel honored because of my existence!"

Kate’s voice rose high, as if she were venting some kind of emotion buried deep within her heart.

She hoped to obtain freedom.

She hoped to enjoy the feeling of being alive.

For a moment, a powerful Sword Aura began to fill the entire void!

Kate’s Sword Aura was fundamentally different from Caelan’s sword beams.

Kate’s Sword Aura was bold, sweeping, and domineering. Merely releasing a little of it casually caused the surrounding mushroom forest to begin swaying back and forth.

Large numbers of spores flickering with faint blue light drifted into the air with the swaying and the gentle wind, like fireflies on a summer night, bringing with them an especially beautiful and tranquil feeling.

But Caelan knew very well that right now, he and Evelyn were already enveloped by a violent Sword Aura.

And on the other side, a crazed expression appeared on Kate’s face.

"My dear brother, watch carefully. This is what true swordsmanship looks like!"
