Chapter 555 Against The Celestials ( 7 )
Seeing that one of them has been sucked inside a small book, all the Celestials contracted to Joran gulped in nervousness…
'Is that even possible?'
'Perhaps it's a dungeon inside a book?'
'It's definitely a Magic related to time and space…'
Although they have seen a lot of magical things in this world, they have never seen a book create such a powerful vacuum force that seems to be capable of sucking almost anything.
They could only guess what happened just now.
It is just too scary. This unknown and mysterious power that they couldn't understand put a big pressure on them as if they were just new people in this world. It was as if they just started learning about this place…
"Alright… Joran has already died… Our grudge against each other should stop here. Agatha, give these potions to others…"
Vincent spoke after noticing that Joran's life force was finally extinguished…
His encounter with this man was a bit anti-climactic.
Joran was severely injured by a bullet and was beheaded by Millie's sword. There were no explosive fights, long-drawn battles, or even chasing phase as they ended his life in just a matter of minutes.
It was quite understandable since he fought against the three finest warriors of the Star Garden Peak inside a small dungeon…
Vincent then glanced at the other Celestials especially the one with torn limbs as Agatha gave them potions to heal themselves.
Luckily, Vincent saved enough potions for this situation…
As for Nerissa, she was also cured and was already resting.
After a while, Vincent walked towards Millie… He glanced at Joran's body before throwing a towel to cover the corpse…
"Are you alright?" Vincent asked Millie.
"He died so easily…" Millie answered with a melancholic voice.
Vincent shook his head and replied.
"That bullet was quite painful… He was conscious all the time and was suppressing the injuries caused by the bullets from spreading throughout his body…"
"Really? Then I guess he heard what I said. He deserves it… The only one left to complete our revenge is the Celestial—No, it was the whole Lucius Clan… Because of their stupid tradition and honor, they sent that Celestial to kill all of us." Millie said in a soft voice.
"That's true… But I wonder if Kiefer and the others already exacted their revenge… I hope they're doing fine…" Vincent muttered as he patted Millie's shoulder.
He hasn't forgotten his childhood friends left in the kingdom. According to Millie, they were still bearing their grudge and were looking for an opportunity to take vengeance.
"They're not only strong… They're also careful and smart… I'm sure they're doing just fine." Millie finally replied with a smile after recalling their friends.
They survived the invasion of the barbarians and were captured so she can only hope that the group of friends was doing fine in the kingdom.
After a while, everyone gathered together outside the dungeon portal. At this time, all the Crystal Snakes in the surrounding area were killed by the Celestials.
"Is she already dead?" Suddenly, one of the Joran's Celestials asked.
She was Number 36 and she seemed concerned about her friend.
"She's fine… You don't need to worry about her…"
Vincent then ordered Gluton to spit out the Celestial…
Everyone then saw the book open up and summon out Celestial 85… The latter was disoriented and weakened but she was able to tell that she has returned to the surface.
"W-what happened?" She can only say this as she kneeled on the ground. Her energy was unstable and her many years of accumulation of Celestial Energy were gone…
She barely has energy in her body and she couldn't help but sigh in regret.
The other three Celestial helped her and told her the situation. Vincent then gave a potion to Number 85 as well since she looks really pitiful.
He wasn't sure what she experienced inside the Tome but it must be horrifying.
"Are you the leader of this group now?" Vincent asked Number 36…
"Since Joran is gone… We're no longer a team. We can go wherever we wanted." Number 36 answered.
"If that's the case, I'm inviting all of you to join my team... You're not planning to return to the Creed of Eiqehin and find other contractors there, are you?"
The four Celestials looked at each other as they hesitated upon Vincent's invitation. They looked at Luna and Agatha as if they could help them decide but they only kept their silence behind Vincent.
Haa~
Number 36 sighed as she decided to probe Vincent's plans.
"Since you already have two Celestial Beings working for you, adding another four might be difficult… Joran is a bit different since he has natural talent capable of producing high-quality Blood Essence as long as he uses his absorption technique." She explained.
"Ohh? So he has that method? I didn't know that." Vincent nodded in acknowledgment before he continued.
"I also have my own method to assist you. I think you've already noticed it as well. Although it was subtle, I'm sure you felt something different after drinking those potions…"
Vincent said as the potions that he gave to them were only those with +8 Enhancement. Even if they are High-Grade in terms of quality, the amount of Celestial Energy recovery they'll get would greatly differ if they drink +10 potions.
"Now that you said… I really felt a subtle increase in my Celestial Energy just now…"
"Wait, did you mix Mystic Link Serum in your potions?"
Numbers 36's words immediately attracted their attention.
"Is that even possible? There's no way we can still find ingredients for the serum in this world."
"Then there's only one possible reason…"
The Celestials looks at each other and they all had the same idea…
'He might have found Qheglena and retrieved the Serums there!'
As they thought of this, they couldn't help but glance at Vincent in a new light.
Vincent had no idea what they were thinking but he knows that his message was sent to them…
He has a method to let them recover their Celestial Energy…
