After a while, all four Celestials completed their contract process with Vincent… They already introduced themselves to each other and Vincent realized that Joran didn't give them any names at all.

Anyway, he handed them one +10 potion each to immediately increase his "affinity" with them… As soon as they consumed the potion, they finally felt happy about their decision to join Vincent's group.

After all, if they decided to find other contractors in this country or perhaps in the Creed of Eiqehin with which they are acquainted, it will take a lot of time…

Seeing their shocked expression, Vincent couldn't help but smile.

"If you're thinking that it's related to your Mystic Link Serum, you're wrong… This potion isn't related to it whatsoever…" Vincent said.

"So you know about the serum…" Celestial 36 muttered as she looked at Vincent carefully…

"The Celestials working for me mentioned it once… In any case, that's not important, I want to tell you that you can receive more of these potions once we return to our base… I only have a limited amount of potions with me." Vincent explained.

"That's understandable… However, shouldn't we be moving now? This place has been marked by the Creed of Eiqehin… Once the other members have finished disrupting the Manipulators of the Star Garden Peak, they will certainly come here to assist Joran… You should know by now that he's an important member of the Creed considering he was able to contract six Celestial Beings."

Celestial 85 said…

"They're planning to come here? How many are there? We already killed three others before you got out of the dungeon…" Vincent replied.

"Among those three, was one of them using a huge scythe as a main weapon?"

"No…"

"I see… Since you kill one team… There are still other twelve teams on their side… Each group consists of 3 or 5 members depending on the strength of the members. Each group is capable of defeating Platinum-Tier Manipulators and they can escape or fight to a standoff if they faced Diamond-Tier Manipulators."

At this point, Nerissa finally spoke.

"Hmph… We also mobilized our Diamond Tiers to deal with them… Each of them is accompanied by a group of Crystal Tier Manipulators so those people are probably dead by now…"

Celestial 85 looked at her calmly before she replied.

"I don't think so… Vincent just mentioned that you encountered one group… It means that they escaped or perhaps killed the Manipulators chasing after them… These people aren't simple after all. They're capable of using the power of corruption which is completely different from the Bloodlust Ability of the Demonic Cult…"

As she said this, she couldn't help but look at Luna… She previously felt the power of corruption from her Bloodstone Armament. Although she wasn't attacked by the armament, she was able to feel the pressure coming from it.

It was similar to the power that Joran obtained after becoming a member of the Creed. No, it can even be said to be stronger.

If Joran has a Magic Tool to stop those bullets from piercing his body, he would certainly put up a good fight against Luna… Perhaps, Joran can even control the power of Luna's corruption against herself…

"Are you telling me that we will be defeated by your Creed? If not for the fact that our borders have to deal with the Demonic Cult and Barbarians at the same time, we would've eliminated all your people here…"

Nerissa angrily said as she clenched her fist in anger.

Vincent immediately mediate as he felt that if Celestial 85 answered her, Nerissa would just become angrier.

"Calm down, Nerissa… I know you hated them because they killed those three… However, Celestial Beings normally don't have this hobby of killing people…"

Vincent then shifted her gaze to the four Celestials.

"Right? You're only ordered by Joran to kill them… You had no choice, right?"

Celestial 36 can certainly understand Vincent's thoughts so she immediately nodded.

"Well, we're certainly ordered to do this. It's also to protect ourselves since Diamond Tiers were really powerful… They have automatons that could not be underestimated at all. However, you shouldn't underestimate the power of Corruption as well. Not only physical objects, but this power can also affect a person's mind and energy…"

"Very well. We won't underestimate them… However, who was this scythe user that you mentioned?"

"Her name is Phoebe… You can say that she's one of the Apostles of Eiqehin. Facing her might leave some casualties on our side. She's not easy to deal with… Our original plan is to find her and recuperate under her protection."

"Phoebe… An apostle, huh… Is she stronger than a two-digit Celestial?" Vincent probed. 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝒆𝘸𝚎𝙗𝒏oν𝙚𝘭.𝐜𝒐m

"I haven't seen her use all of her abilities… But if I don't have anything with me aside from my Celestial Energy to stop her power of Corruption, then I'll be in trouble. At the very least, I can only fight from a distance."

"I understand…" Vincent answered as he looked at Nerissa who has now calmed down. He was considering whether they should wait here and eliminate some members of the Creed or just escape…

He then recalled something and immediately asked the Celestials.

"About the gate… Where is it? What is it? Can it really not be stopped? Is it ordered by the Creed or you just wanted to benefit from the chaos?" Vincent laid out all his questions…

"Joran received an order from the Creed. The reason we agreed is indeed about the benefit it will bring us. After all, we're already collecting Blood Essence for many years and we still can't see the peak of our abilities… It was too slow…" Celestial 85 answered with a sigh. All of them wanted to get stronger but it was just too difficult for them without the help of the serum.

Number 36 then continued for her…

"As for the gate, it is an altar… It was already completed a few days ago. The news that Joran will still have to complete the ceremony was leaked purposedly to ensure that no one interrupts the site of the ceremony…"

"What?!" Nerissa was shocked… She couldn't believe that their Star Garden Peak had actually been duped by the Creed all this time!
