Chapter 356 Injured
The Overseer.
This mysterious being is a mighty individual that is supposedly created to help the Celestial Beings adapt to any new environment wherever Qheglena brought them.
However, Luna can recall that the Overseer would rarely show himself to the Celestials unless they were in a dire situation.
In most cases, it would be the single digits that would be supervising all of them.
Especially, Number 3 who is the most active in the leadership role.
Anyway, there are a few things that can be guaranteed about the Overseer. The first is that he is extremely strong and comparable to the Single Digits. Secondly, he can regenerate his own Celestial Energy even without the Blood Essence coming from the Mana Practitioners.
Another thing is that the Overseer is not a Celestial Being like them. He is more like a hybrid but unlike Vincent, the Overseer is more like an android.
Furthermore, this mighty being is the only one capable of controlling Qheglena even without getting inside its control room. That's right, he can remotely control the spaceship of the Celestials.
Lastly, they know that the Overseer would do anything to keep their race alive. It was his main role but he would complete this task even by sacrificing 99% of them!
It is such a twisted role so it was no wonder why so many Celestials are being killed. He was fulfilling his role to the extreme!
As soon as Vincent heard about the Overseer's appearance he immediately felt nervous since their strongest Celestial is only ranked 80. If the Overseer is really comparable to the Single Digits, then they might be in huge trouble.
After all, based on the praises he heard from Tara and the others, these Single-Digit Celestials were incredibly powerful. Rem even illustrated that the strength gap between Number 9 and Number 10 is like the bottom floor and the top floor of the Kayser Tower!
Vincent wasn't sure if it is only an exaggeration but since none of the Celestials refuted it, he can only feel nervous as he couldn't imagine how strong that was.
At the very least, it seems that the deities of this world did a good job defending this world against such beings.
'I'm sorry, Vera… I looked down on you…' Vincent mused at that time.
Anyway, as soon as Vincent met with Luna and the others, he immediately noticed their nervous faces.
He had never seen them like that before.
However, as their 'leader' he can't show any form of weakness as he calmly asked about the situation.
"Luna, you don't look good… What happened? Did you meet the Overseer?" Vincent asked as he looked at the Celestials who seem to have been defeated in a battle.
"Hmmm? Where are the others?" Vincent asked after noticing that there are only five of them. Numbers 778, 815, and 833 are missing.
'They're not taken by the Overseer, right?' Vincent wanted to ask but he decided to just listen to them first.
Luna took a deep breath before answering Vincent's question.
"Those three are with Krusk… If I didn't leave them with that kid, he might think of following the Overseer if we left him alone..." Luna said as he continued to explain what happened a while ago.
Apparently, while they were investigating the surroundings of the city to ensure that there wouldn't be any more ambushes, they stumbled upon a destroyed or closed dungeon.
They were able to tell that it was previously a dungeon because they can still feel the tear on the space that can normally be felt at the entrance of each dungeon.
It means that there was previously an entrance in the ruins they've found and this seems to have happened just recently.
"Recently? I'm pretty sure we've conducted a thorough investigation to make a perfect geographical map… If it was only destroyed not long ago, does it mean that we missed this dungeon in our investigation?" Vincent asked in disbelief since he didn't work alone to create this map… There were others as well and there was no way all of them wouldn't notice the dungeon entrance at that time.
Well, unless it's blocked by a god-tier Formation Art… However, the chances are just too small.
"You're right… This surprised us as well. However, since the traces of tear on the space was still there, we can guarantee that it happened just recently." Rem added.
Vincent can only accept this explanation.
"What happened then?"
"The culprit was probably the Overseer… He appeared above us for a brief moment and he didn't even look at us. I'm thinking that he was only checking if he has properly destroyed the dungeon entrance so we can't go inside…" Tara answered.
"He destroyed the Dungeon?" Vincent was confused.
"That's right… We're not sure of the reason yet but since he's not interested in us at that time, there can only be one reason and it's related to the dungeon that was previously there."
Luna answered this time.
That reasoning certainly made some sense but Vincent could only wonder what kind of dungeon that was.
She then continued telling what happened next.
Krusk, who had joined them to investigate the surroundings, immediately acted as soon as the Overseers appeared.
It was as if he knows by instinct that that was the target that his parents had given him to hunt.
The rest of the story was just a one-sided battle…
The overseer didn't even retaliate and only played around with them for 5 minutes before leaving…
However, before he left, he made sure that the traces of tears in the space has been completely removed.
Once it was gone, even Number 8, the Celestial Being who specializes in Space Element, wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
As Vincent listened to the whole story, he finally sighed as he felt that it was a good thing that there were no casualties…
"Eh? You said that he did not retaliate, why are you guys injured?" Vincent asked.
Although it wasn't obvious with their outer appearance, Vincent was able to tell that they were injured with his special skill.
Upon hearing this question, the Celestials felt a bit embarrassed as it seems that the Overseer had really played around with their group.
Vincent can only shake his head as he gave them a few bottles of recovery potions to get themselves healed faster.
