Chapter 124 Injury
Chapter 124 Injury
Vincent was, of course, delighted upon seeing the two Celestial Beings. A glimmer of hope was ignited in his eyes.
Since Celestial 202 doesn't know that they are related to Vincent, she had decided to throw him away to protect him from harm.
After all, she seemed to be serving Duke Hansen and she genuinely wanted to bring Vincent to him alive. Though Vincent doesn't know the purpose for that, at the very least, she doesn't have plans of killing him… yet.
With that in mind, Vincent decided not to call Tara and Rem their names to ensure that their identities or affiliation would remain secret.
It was even better if they pretended not to know him for now.
"Scram!" The short-haired Celestial Being shouted in annoyance after realizing that the two opponents weren't as strong as she thought they were.
After she blocked their attacks using her hands protected by mysterious gloves, she realized the strength of the two.
Bam!
Her body was suddenly ignited with tremendous Celestial Energy as she suppressed the two of them at the same time.
Vincent then recalled how this Celestial Being suppressed another two Numbered Celestial at 900s as well. Tara is ranked 999 while Rem is unnumbered Celestial. So it wouldn't be surprising that they will actually fail to save him!
However, he still underestimated the two.
Tara moved like a ghost as she appeared behind the arrogant Celestial. Rem, on the other hand, confronted her using her Celestial Weapon and slashed her arms again! This time, she's filled with enormous power as it pressured even the people of the Zemin Clan from afar.
Bam! Bam!
This time, the opponent finally looked at the two with terror in her eyes. Her right hand and waist were injured from the combined attack of the two Celestial Beings.
She tried to counter them with her combat arts but they suddenly manifested their Celestial Armors leaving them unharmed!
"How could the two of you possess Celestial Weapons and Armors?!" She exclaimed in shock.
Vincent already realized that not only did Rem obtain a Celestial Armor somewhere, but even Tara obtained another Celestial Weapon aside from the Dagger she obtained deep underground the Hearts City.
She has another short blade in her hands!
Celestial 202 couldn't help but look at the two with envy. She can already tell that these two weren't that strong. If she's the one wielding their weapons, she would certainly be able to cut them into two.
However, because the two were Celestial Beings there were probably unnumbered, they failed to even cut her apart and only gave her shallow injuries that can be ignored.
Even as Rank 202, she doesn't have any Celestial Weapon or Armor that she could use and she's only relying on her Magic Artifacts, Celestial Energy, and her tough body.
It was no wonder why she felt irritated seeing two weak celestial beings own something that she doesn't have.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
She didn't give up as she relied on her gloves which is a Magic Artifact that could amplify her strength.
With her speed, she was able to hit the two but their Celestial Armors were truly on a different level. She didn't do any damage at all.
At the very least, she wasn't too helpless as none of them used any elemental attacks as they don't want to destroy this land as well. All three of them know that utilizing nature's elements using their Celestial Energy to the extreme could be harmful to this world.
They are unlike Mana Practitioners who are native to this world after all.
"Fine… What's your deal?!" She finally jumped back and stayed away from the two. Her gloves are already about to break and she can't continue this battle.
'It's still too much to fight several Celestials using a Pseudo-Legendary Magic Artifact, huh…' Celestial 202 mused as she glanced at her gloves that have dimmed already.
Right now, her abundant Celestial Energy is quite useless without a proper weapon against the two. She was only able to defeat Joran's Celestial Beings a while ago because she overexerted the power of her gloves.
'Ugh… Why do lower rank Celestials have these treasures?!' She can only complain in her mind as she glared at the two.
Now that these two Celestials arrived before she could repair her magic artifact, the gloves gifted by Duke Hansen were about to break and she couldn't bear that to happen.
"Give us your name…" Tara commanded as she pointed her dagger at her.
"I'm Marin… Contracted with Duke Hansen. Are you both from the Blue Storm Army? No, those two don't have Celestial Weapons or Armors…"
"Get lost! You're not allowed to take anyone." Rem said as she waved her sword.
Marin wanted to say something but immediately stopped after realizing that Tara was getting closer with her cold eyes. Each step carries some kind of pressure that she couldn't understand.
She felt that if she dared to argue with them, this woman with two Celestial Weapons would attack her.
'I'll remember the two of you… Once I retrieved my equipment, I don't care whether I'll start the Third Rapture and kill you both.'
Marin cursed the two in her mind as she left with a dignified look on her face. She wasn't defeated by the skills of these two but with their overwhelming weapons. Furthermore, she doesn't want to waste her Celestial Energy as well. Unlike those two with Celestial Armors, they barely use their Celestial Energy in the fight while she would have to exert more on her side.
As soon as she left, everyone finally sighed in relief.
Even Yulia's group was unable to breathe properly during that confrontation. They felt that if they were interrupted, they would be the target of their anger.
Creak… Creak…
The sounds of their disassembling armors can be heard as the Celestial Armor shrunk like some bio-organism and retreated within their clothes.
Cough! Cough!
The two Celestial Beings finally spat a mouthful of blood. Their faces paled as they revealed their weakness to everyone. They kneeled on the ground as they started breathing heavily. They have internal injuries!
It seems that they were just holding back!
Perhaps, if Marin continued, they would actually collapse to the ground.
Vincent wanted to help them but he was also injured. He then noticed that Severin was running towards him while carrying his small bag filled with various potions.
"Give all these potions to the two…" Vincent said after taking three potions from the bag.
There were a total of 15 potions that were +9 left in the bag and that should be enough to give them a bit of Celestial Energy they could use to heal their injuries.
Severin wanted to say something but seeing how serious Vincent looks, he can only comply and walk towards the two Celestial Beings who helped them.
'Aren't some of these meant to cure the Barbarian Poison?' Severin thought as he looked at the two Celestial Beings.
Since he doesn't know that they are related to Vincent, Severin was nervously looking at the two. Although they are both injured, it doesn't change the fact that they are beings capable of eliminating him with a flick of their fingers.
As soon as his eyes met Tara's gaze, he was frozen in his spot and almost dropped the bag filled with potions.
Luckily, Tara shifted her gaze to the bag as he recalled giving it to them.
Tara then silently took the bag and shared the potions with Rem. Severin heaved a sigh of relief.
While this is all happening, Lady Yulia already arrived near Vincent. The latter was already feeling a little better after drinking his enhanced and ascended recovery potion.
p
She already wore her white veil again as it suppressed the power of her eyes.
"These are just superficial injuries. I'll recover in a while. Right, regarding these two Celestial Beings, I think it's better not to report their presence here."
Lady Yulia furrowed her brows as soon as she heard the latter part of his words. This confirmed her suspicion that the two are indeed related to Vincent.
She had actually noticed Vincent's relieved face as soon as he saw the two fighting against the Celestial.
"Very well. We're planning to retreat as quickly as possible. This is not a good place to rest as there might be another wave of invasion."
"Got it. Give me a moment to talk with them." Vincent acknowledged as he left to check the condition of the two Celestial Beings.
Severin already returned to the Zemin Clan's gathering as he looked curiously at Tara and Rem. He just saw them drink all kinds of potions within the bag.
'Aside from the antidote, some of those are also mana recovery potions and serene water…' Severin's mind wandered as he was trying to understand how the Celestial Beings behave.
They are mysteries of this world after all and learning that they like to drink any types of potions to recover is something that he might have to take note of.
