Chapter 552 Against The Celestials ( 4 )

Joran may not have been the one to kill Millie's parents and other villagers several years ago, but he was the one who made it all happen.

Their small village was dragged into their conflict leading to the early deaths of their friends and family.

"I understand…" Vincent whispered to Millie as he looked at the remaining Celestial.

He walked slowly in her direction and stopped at a 10-meter distance.

At this point, Luna and Agatha had also finished their battle and surrounded them…

'Eh? Where's Nerissa?' Vincent suddenly recalled the woman and realized that she was actually thrown far away…

It seems that she also joined in the battle and ended up in a terrible condition… He immediately signaled for Luna to check her condition since he doesn't know how Nerissa was defeated like that.

Since Luna is also carrying a healing potion, she should be able to help and if she was affected by Corruption Energy, then Luna can also absorb it…

After doing this, Vincent shifted his gaze back to the remaining Celestial.

"We've won… Are you going to sacrifice your life to save that person beside you?" Vincent calmly asked as his eyes lit up.

He activated his Energy Sensitivity and confirmed that the Celestial in front of him wasn't doing something dubious while he was talking.

If possible, he wanted to just end this battle now… Since his mission here is just to kill Joran, as much as possible he wanted to avoid killing the other Celestial Beings. After all, he knows that they were simply bound by a contract and were only doing this to survive as well.

"Do you think you've really won after doing this to Joran?"

The Celestial suddenly asked as she looked at Vincent.

"Oh? Do you still have a chance of defeating all of us? I don't think that's possible. Not even if you're all fully recovered." Vincent said as he knows that none from their side had unleased their real strength yet.

He didn't even use his other Sentient Magic Tool.

Furthermore, both Luna and Agatha have Legendary weapons equipped and he can tell that not even one Legendary-Grade weapon was on the enemy side.

The Celestial then shook her head as she replied.

"It's not that… I'm sure that your mission here is to stop Joran from opening a gate for the otherwordly beings… Unfortunately, even after his death, you won't be able to stop it."

Vincent froze after hearing this. Indeed, their mission is to stop Joran from doing that.

He couldn't help but frown at this and asked again.

"Why are you helping him do this? Were you not going to be affected if that happens?"

"We will all be affected. It can be very dangerous for Celestial Beings like us as well. However, it is also an opportunity to recover our strength… Right now, collecting Blood Essence is too slow. The magicians here are getting weaker and weaker over the past few years. We need another way to get stronger before it's too late."

Vincent wasn't convinced by her answer but he still decided to finish his mission.

"If it's not possible to stop it. Then it can't be helped. We'll deal with it once they're here. For now, we'll take Joran's life…"

Vincent paused for a moment and looked at the Celestial before continuing…

"You're not going to stop us and say that Joran can close the gate, right?"

The Celestial looked at Vincent amusingly as she replied.

"I was thinking of doing that to buy some time but I guess it's not going to work… You'll be able to see through my lies easily."

She then looked at Joran one last time before sighing…

"He's almost dead… Even if you just let him be, he will die eventually… We already spent all of our healing potions..." The Celestial said in a melancholic voice.

"I see… Then move back and let us see his condition…" Vincent said.

"Alright… By the way, did you make that gun?"

Vincent was a bit surprised by the question. He thought for a moment before he replied.

"I can answer that if you tell me your plans from now on… Since Joran will die, you'll no longer be supplied with Blood Essence. Do you think you can join me along with the other three?" Vincent asked.

The Celestial looked surprised including Number 36 and the two Unnumbered who were still trying to recover their strength.

After all, they just tried killing Vincent's group but Vincent seemed so innocent that he could let the grudge go just by killing Joran.

Furthermore, they have killed three Diamond Tier Manipulators on their side! Why would he even think of recruiting them at this time?

Celestial Number 85 couldn't help but look at the other three Celestials who were defeated in no time. They were all feeling indignant since they believe that they were just too exhausted and lost the battle unfairly.

Ever since they entered the territory of the Sacred Garden Peak to complete their mission of opening the gate, they have been in a constant battle against many top-tier warriors of this country.

The Creed of Eiqehin even have to send over half of their finest warriors just to give Joran the time he needed to open the gate… Although they succeeded in the end, they didn't expect that the Star Garden Peak is still hiding a powerful warrior on their side…

Not only does he have two Celestial Beings on his side, but he also has incredible Magic Tools with him… He can also use a Celestial Armor and Celestial Weapon which makes him a really mysterious person… To be exact, he is a person who shouldn't exist!

"Since Joran is still alive… I can't just give up on him… You have to defeat me if you want me to change my side."

With that said, she immediately pounced toward Vincent and waved her weapon…

Millie wanted to act but Vincent stopped him…

"Just kill Joran… He's all yours… I'll deal with this Celestial. I want to see my limits this time…" Vincent said as he wore his Celestial Armor again.

Since the otherworldly beings can't be stopped from descending, then there will be a huge battle at some point in time...

With that in mind, he might as well gain more combat experience…
