Chapter 55 Conflict

Vincent frowned as soon as he heard the clamor outside.

'Celestials?'

It immediately made him recall what happened to his village. It was all because of the Celestial Beings from the Troy Clan and the Lucius Clan.

He took a deep breath to clear his mind as he decided to go outside. He suddenly no longer felt hungry as he went in the direction where the commotion was coming from.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground trembled as a deafening explosion occurred! It had come from the walls of the city!

It was as if it was hit by cannon alarming the citizens including the magicians and the knights.

"T-take cover!"

"They might bring their fight inside the city! What are the Magicians doing!"

"This is bad… Why would two Celestials battle here? This is place is going to be destroyed!"

"Hmph! Look! The Red Rose Magic Knights are here!"

As Vincent can hear the battle outside the city walls getting intense, he also noticed a group of knights rushing their way to the city gates.

Obviously, the City Guards can no longer handle this level of conflict and needed the help of the Magic Knights.

Vincent watched the cavalry of knights rush outside. They all have an incredible presence and one of them is even giving off a majestic aura around him.

It was as if it was compelling everyone to bow down on him!

"It's Klaus! The Drunk Arc Knight!"

"An Arc Knight is here! Finally!"

"The Drunk Arc Knight! Please be careful!"

"Don't get yourself hurt! Red Rose Knights! Please return safely!"

The crowd started cheering as soon as they made their presence known.

Nevertheless, Vincent actually noticed that Klaus seem to have frowned after hearing the title that was given to him.

He probably wanted to retort but decided against it.

Vincent could only smile thinking about how he got the title.

From a Page, Esquire, Magic Knight, then to an Arc Knight… It wasn't easy to reach this level at all and in end, he received such a bad title.

He even appeared young and only seem to be in his late twenties.

'Forget it… Let's follow them for now. I somehow had a bad feeling about this…'

Vincent then silently followed the group of knights up to the city gate.

To be honest, he suddenly had a foreboding that the Celestial Being in a conflict outside is actually Tara!

'Well, she's rank 999… As long as she didn't meet a Numbered Celestial. She should be able to solve this problem.'

Vincent had no idea about the exact number of Celestial that was present in this world. However, he at least learned that there are several thousand of them who came here.

'Did they actually come here through a spaceship or something?' Vincent mused as he slowly went outside the city to see what was going on.

After seeing the damaged blueprint of an advanced aircraft a while ago, he has already been thinking about this matter…

p A huge spaceship containing thousands of Cryogenic Sleeping Chamber for the Celestials descended here… Because they can't be opened, the chambers were brought to some dungeons by the natives here or perhaps, some other crews of the spaceship… and the rest is history.

Vincent's imagination may have run really wild to create this scenario in his mind but he felt that it would make a lot of sense if that was the case.

Though there are many loopholes and unanswered questions about his theory, as he continues his journey, he'll definitely find answers as well.

Bam! Bam!

As soon as he had gotten out of the city together with the crowd, Vincent's thoughts were interrupted as two human figures slammed on the ground at the same time.

Apparently, the Celestials who are wearing full-body armor on them were both in critical condition.

Both of them had blades pierced through their bodies!

One was wearing full-body armor in black and yellow color. As for the other one, it was the familiar metallic gray and blue full-body armor!

That was similar to Tara!

No—That was mostly likely Tara!

'What in the world?! She told me she'll leave for a few days… I didn't think she'll be looking for trouble… Just what happened here?'

Vincent frowned as he saw the two weakened Celestial Beings get surrounded by the Magic Knights and Klaus which is the only Arc Knight.

'From what grandpa said, Grand Knights should only be the ones capable of subduing the Celestial Being… Is there an exception?' He mused.

"A-ahh! They're flying!"

"They're going to leave this place! Finally!

"That's true… I'm really scared. I hope they just go away."

"Hmph! If you're scared, why did you go outside the city walls to gossip?!"

"Sshh! Look! Klaus doesn't seem to plan to let them get away!"

As soon as they saw the Celestials living, they thought that Klaus convinced the two to leave this place right away.

Since they are both injured with blades impaled on their bodies, it's understandable that they would follow his instructions.

However, they seem to have failed to understand what was truly happening as Klaus jumped into the air as he planned to fight to strike the black-armored Celestial Being!

As for the other Celestial, who appears like Tara, tens of mana arrows come flying to target its already injured body!

As if the Celestial Beings decided to have a truce, they forget their conflicts and immediately protected each other!

They formed an invisible barrier and surprisingly, Klaus' sword just bounced off them and the mana arrows dissipated just like that!

Whoossh~

Everyone felt the wave of mana scatter everywhere with that exchange!

"You dare!" Klaus shouted in anger as he jump again to pursue the two. It seems that he can't actually fly like the Celestials and can only jump very high.

Of course, the two Celestial Beings did not wait for him as they both separated their ways!

Just like that, the show was over.

They barely saw the Celestials fighting and only briefly saw Klaus' prowess. They seem to have wasted their time coming here.

'I wonder what happened though…' Vincent thought as he looked in the direction where "Tara" left.

Anyway, there is nothing that he can do about her matters so he decided to just return to his inn to finally have his dinner since it getting really dark now.

As soon as he started eating his meal, he heard the conversation of the people at the other table.

"The two Celestial Beings are most likely interested in the item to be auctioned off two days from now."

"Hmph! Do you think they'll be interested in the weapons of the mortals?!"

"Haha! You fool! There was a rumor that the Guardian's Auction House will be auctioning off a Pseudo-Legendary Item! They must be interested in it!"

"No way! They can purchase it if they want. I heard it's because of a man!"

"There is no way the Celestials are interested with me Pseudo-Legendary Item. There must be a Celestial Weapon around."
