Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 492 Missing

Luna looked at the group of cultists as she felt that the aura coming from them was quite familiar.

She immediately glanced at Agatha who has a unique ability to see through things…

"They're probably related to the changes in the werewolves. We have to be careful." Agatha immediately said as she already knows what Luna wanted to ask.

"Got it… Let's eliminate all the werewolves first…"

"Mhmmm…"

Since the cloaked men weren't showing any form of hostility yet, they decided to finish their task first before dealing with these people.

The angry cries and painful screams of the werewolves resounded throughout the battlefield as the Werewolf Slayer Squad started working on their tasks.

As everything was going smoothly, some of them started looking for their specific target… Beatrice.

They were all informed about Beatrice's human form and werewolf form so they should be able to notice her. Aside from being a female, she was quite smaller than everyone else after all.

"I can't find Beatrice on my side…" Patriarch Leon reported.

"She's not here as well." Brycen also added.

"Did she escape the bombardment? How did she even do that?" Lar couldn't believe it since he had seen how the Grand Magus cast their domain magic to ensure that no one escapes from the bombardment of the War Eagle Squadron.

However, he suddenly recalled Beatrice's ability to control space. Perhaps, even though she had activated her Berserk Ability, she was still able to fully control this ability.

Or maybe, Beatrice didn't use her Berserk in the first place. After all, they didn't really see her transform into a berserk werewolf as they were flooded by so many werewolves and they can only focus on escaping while firing their pistols.

At that time, they lost track of her and could only guess that she has transformed like everyone else.

"She'll appear soon… There's no way she would just watch all her kind eliminated like this." Luna suddenly said as if she truly knows the werewolves.

"What about those people?" Agatha asked as she slashed at the werewolf that had suddenly pounced on her. The werewolf was hidden by rubbles and dirt but she was able to sense its presence and killed it by chopping its head off.

"They should be waiting for something… We can't wait for it though… Once we dealt with the werewolves, we'll go to them…" Thyrus suddenly said as he was also wary of those people. He then drank a healing potion as he was already getting tired.

No matter what, these werewolves were still very tough and required a lot of energy to kill them even in their current state.

It was the same for the Grand Knights as they needed more stamina to continue with the battle against the werewolves.

After over ten minutes of cleaning up the battlefield, they finally eliminated all the werewolves at the expense of all of their reserve potions…

Unlike Vincent, these people don't have an interspatial ring or dimensional storage box after all. They can only carry a few vials of potions with them since they still have to carry some rations including their weapons.

If they also decided to carry the materials left behind by Magic Beasts or Savage Beasts they have killed. It would be very difficult for them to move.

Now, if these cloaked men were also capable of dealing with Celestials, they might be in trouble…

Suddenly, Lar recalled the three Paragons who had been injured because of the bombardment.

"They're still alive…" He muttered after seeing them treat their own injuries while watching the movement of the squad…

He immediately approached the three since he wasn't really sure whether they have to fight or not… He signaled for the other Grand Knights to surround them before asking his question.

"What are you doing here? If you're really the Paragons as you claimed, what's your purpose for coming into our territory?" He asked.

Powerful individuals like the Paragons have a lot of restrictions, especially when entering another border. After all, their presence is a huge threat…

"Hmph! We were previously asked by your Tower Lord to help them deal with the magic god's Avatar… We spent a lot of resources to make that happen. Can't we at least roam around here since we sensed those bipedal wolves?"

Ariana aggressively spoke as soon as she heard Lar. They can't appear weak now as they know that they may just get bullied.

While the Slayer Squad was finishing off the werewolves, these three saw their battle clearly. They learned that although they can kill these Grand Knights and Grand Magus, they felt that it would take some time and the Celestials may kill them at that moment.

Currently, they no longer have the intention of killing the contractors to take the Celestials for themselves. They wanted to just escape and recuperate.

They used their weapons to defend themselves a while ago and they certainly needed these weapons to be checked by a blacksmith or crafters who can repair them. Otherwise, they might be broken if they engaged in battle.

They were truly caught off guard by the bombardment and even though they wanted to release their anger to these people, they know that it was not the time…

"Is that so? Then leave this place immediately. You guys aren't our targets anyway… Just try to avoid us if you want to live for long." Lar warned the three as if he were stronger than them.

Ariana has never been treated like this before so she really wanted to smack Lar's face and graze it to the ground.

However, she has to stop herself from doing this even just for the sake of her two companions… Furthermore, she also sensed the presence of those cloaked men… That's definitely a huge trouble even for them.

Suddenly, she heard Colm's voice in her mind comforting her and making her calm.

'It's fine… There are other enemies ahead of us… They have noticed this group as well. They seem to be part of the Demonic Cult… I'm not sure why they are here but I can tell that there will be a battle… We can recuperate for now and observe what will happen.'

'That's true… Those Bipedal Wolves weren't simple… I think that the Demonic Cult was involved with those beasts. There are also those Airships supporting this squad of Celestials from the sky… We need more information.'

Niall added as he swallowed his pride and started to back away…
