Chapter 168 Dispute

As soon as Vincent activated this low-tier Mana Art, the flow of mana in the surroundings started gathering at his spot.

This was easily noticed by many practitioners as they were very sensitive to mana fluctuations right now. At first, they thought that another powerful creature appeared to cause trouble.

However, as soon as they saw the young man gathering so much mana, they immediately turned excited knowing that a powerful Mana Practitioner was in their midst…

Furthermore, they noticed that the Savage Beasts' movement started slowing down as they used this opportunity to kill them…

"Haha! They've gotten weak! Kill them!"

"They're mine!"

"Take all the Winged Hounds! They're the most expensive!"

The previous people who were hanging by the thread saw some hope after the savage beast suddenly acted weakly.

They weren't exactly sure what has happened but it didn't matter!

They immediately used their quickest killing move to kill as many creatures as they can…

Furthermore, as the flying beasts weakened, some of them started descending or flying away from the floating ship…

Soul Pressure! Domain!

Vincent had too much mana gathering to him right now so he decided to activate these two skills in order to weaken the beasts even more and spend his energy. Although it wasn't as effective against beasts, it could still limit their physical strength by a small degree.

It took them almost 15 more minutes before they eliminated all the beasts who dared to get on their ship.

Bang!

At this point, another group of Mana Practitioners arrived at the main deck…

"What?! Everything's over? Ugh… We didn't get in time… Those Winged Hounds were too troublesome."

The man who spoke was Azer. It appears that he was one of the people who hunted the winged beasts that had infiltrated the floating ship.

Tara had also arrived and stood beside Vincent and Rem…

[ A few doctors and medical practitioners are on their way. All the injured will be treated for free so please calm down and wait for them patiently. The reward will be distributed later after everything has been arranged. ]

As the captain spoke, Azer and others looked around as they confirmed that many injured people indeed needed help as quickly as possible.

Many of them had been bitten by the Winged Hounds but the large part of the injured are those people who got stung by the hornets. They need fast treatment!

These unlucky people either had holes or swelling on their bodies.

Azer did not hesitate as he immediately acted and didn't wait for the doctors to come…

It appears that he has a Magic Tool that could aid them from quickly recovering while they are waiting for the experts to come.

'Is that how he wants to become the hero of mankind?' Vincent mused.

He can only shake his head as he decided to just get inside the ship. Anyway, it appears that everything is now under control.

Thud…

Unfortunately, as his group was getting inside, Silas suddenly blocked their path.

"What are you doing?" Yulia asked irritably. She didn't like this person since he looks like Richard with blond hair.

However, Silas just ignored her as he glared at Vincent.

"Is there a problem?" Severin asked noticing the hostility in the man's eyes.

He knows that this person is an official member of the Black Tower so it would be very complicated if they offended him. Nevertheless, he wasn't afraid if this person caused trouble for their group.

Furthermore, they were allied with two Celestial Beings! Even if Silas wasn't afraid of Vincent, he should respect the presence of the two!

"Give me the Runic Badger's core… You can take its body." Silas coldly said as he reached his harm to Vincent.

As expected, he was aiming for the Magic Beast Core as well. Yulia and Severin frowned at this…

Although it was said that there is a large number of Magic Beasts within the Black Tower's territory, these creatures are very intelligent and would normally hide upon seeing powerful Mana Practitioners.

They have a very good sense of detecting danger in normal circumstances which is why it is still quite difficult to obtain their cores.

It was no wonder why even an Archmage wanted to take it from Vincent.

"It's mine… You can move aside now." Vincent answered firmly.

"You can't… That Runic Badger is mine. I went to take it down first." Silas didn't budge either as he sternly spoke.

His voice became threatening as he stepped forward once more.

"Take it if you can." Vincent no longer played around as he released his Aura…

This angered Silas as he viciously looked at Vincent and his group.

Everyone already knows that Vincent is a 3-Star Aura Knight and Silas already calculated that he should be fine even if Vincent used a soul attack against him...

Well, he thought that the attack he used to drain the mana of the beasts was a soul attack or Aura Knight skills.

Nevertheless, at the same time that Vincent poured out his Aura, Tara and Rem drew their weapons.

At first, they thought that these two were just normal knights protecting their master.

However, some of them immediately realized that the two women don't seem to possess Mana or Aura within their bodies. Even Silas who was about to move stayed on his feet.

He felt that the two women were quite weird. They probably possess some kind of item that hides their aura but he can't just carelessly move without knowing the two's strength.

In the meantime, a few people watching them guessed that these two ladies were actually Celestial Beings…

But even then, they didn't voice it out as there is no way to confirm whether it is true unless they reveal it themselves.

Silas gritted his teeth as he felt that he can't back out now… He didn't think that his identity as an Archmage of the Black Tower is not enough to intimidate these people!

He then signaled at his two companions behind Vincent's group to attack together with him!

Whatever the aftermath of this battle is, he would take care of it! His reputation may be affected but he really needed the Beast Core!

Hmph!

As Silas was about to attack, they heard someone harrumph behind him. His figure was huge and his uniform allowed them to realize his identity.

"Captain Olus!" Many people on the main deck recognized the captain of the Floating Ship…

Silas froze for a moment as he immediately withdrew his killing intent. It appears that he didn't want to cause trouble for this burly captain.

Olus observed the surroundings and he immediately realized what was going on…
