Chapter 176: Cain And Celeste

"You dare to challenge me, Cain?" Celeste's voice echoed through the chamber, each word carrying the weight of her authority. "You are but a mere dark creature of the night, a pawn in the grand scheme of things."

Cain met Celeste's gaze with unwavering resolve, undeterred by her dismissive tone. "I may be a creature of darkness, but I am no pawn," he retorted, his voice dripping with defiance. "I seek knowledge and power, and I will stop at nothing to obtain it."

Celeste's lips curled into a contemptuous sneer. "Bold words for one so insignificant," she remarked, her tone laced with derision. "But you underestimate the forces you seek to challenge. I am a high-ranking member of the celestial order, and I will not allow a creature of darkness to disrupt the balance."

As their words hung in the air, charged with tension and animosity, Cain and Celeste prepared to engage in a battle of wills and magic that would determine the course of their fate.
