Kapitel 858: Abyssal Demon

At the top of an isolated mountain, the light in Alm and Bruno's eyes faded, along with their Celestial souls. They took deep breaths, relieved. They didn't sense any imminent danger, meaning the immortal heroes hadn't noticed them. 

At the same time, their concern grew. If they hadn't been detected, it could mean the heroes were so focused on obtaining that half of the cauldron that they ignored everything else. It was a plausible theory; after all, following the theft of the other half, they would need to secure this one quickly to avoid complications. 

The inventory rune opened, and the couple emerged. 

"Everything I could use has been consumed," the old man said softly. "My wife and I reunited thanks to you. We only gave back a little; I hope, in the future, to fully repay this debt. We intend to live as long as we can in peace, far from any conflict. Farewell, and thank you."
