Chapter 226 Swift

"Hmm?"

The Celestial also looked at him curiously.

"Wait… Weren't you prohibited to reveal this kind of information to us?" Vincent asked.

"Right… There's indeed a restriction on mentioning the war to the natives… But… I wonder…"

The Celestial Being realized what Vincent was trying to say. She was also confused but she couldn't find an answer aside from having a 'glitch' since she had only woken up.

Vincent can only accept this explanation.

Anyway, she looked at Levent who was still holding the Formation Core.

"I won't be harming you. You don't look like the enemy of my race so I won't be attacking you. I'm just a normal Celestial Being... I'll take a quick rest for now then I'll try looking for my spaceship. You don't have to be too wary of me." She announced as she showed a weak smile on her.

Vincent felt a bit weird since a Celestial Being wouldn't normally say this kind of thing at all. There is a matter about the natural restriction ingrained into their brain. After so many conversations with Tara and Rem, he already knows that these restrictions were sort of instinct within their bodies.

There are only two exceptions where they could win over their instinct and that is by having sufficient strength or through extreme conditions in order to survive.

"Professor, hold the Formation Core tightly… Don't get too close."

"Ahh? Why? Is she that dangerous? You've given her your potions already, right?"

"Yes… That's just a way to assess her condition. We still have to ensure that she's not carrying any sort of disease just to be safe. Based on what she said, she was previously injured and used the capsule to recuperate, 'just like the other two'."

"I see… If she was injured by some sort of poison or even disease, she might still have it, huh…"

Levent nodded in understanding.

Vincent tried to by more time as he was thinking of what to do with this being.

"Hey… I'm not carrying any disease…"

After hearing their conversation, the 'Celestial Being' could no longer keep her silence.

Vincent ignored that as he pulled out the cane from his interspatial ring. He didn't wave it as a weapon but to help him walk.

"Hmm? You're wary of me?" The being asked as she probably felt the unusualness of the cane.

,m "I'm curious, are you a Numbered Celestial?" Vincent asked.

After thinking for a moment, she answered. "Yes…"

"Do you know which species are you at war with?"

"Yes, it's—No, I can't tell you." She answered.

"I understand… Do you know which spaceship are you using then?"

"Hmm? Not sure… I can't remember... Right, I'm not allowed to tell you."

"How about the Demihumans? Do you remember them?"

"Of course! Yes… They're very kind… I mean vicious… They must be eliminated."

Vincent wryly smiled as her answer was quite messy. However, because of this, he finally knows what he should do.

He looked at Professor Levent who was just staring at him while he was asking his questions. She was a bit startled after being stared back as she raised her brows in question.

"What now? I'm just looking at you. You can continue your conversation. I'm learning a lot of things."

"No need… I think we first need to call the two other Celestial Beings that I know. Maintain this formation—"

Bang!

Vincent did not even finish instructing Levent when the armored being struck him with her fist. It was incredibly fast and strong!

Boom!

After being struck, Vincent was thrown to the cavern's wall as the rocks started breaking…

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The rocks, dust, and mud started falling as Vincent was buried in the rubbles…

Levent doesn't know whether he was still dead or alive…

"Activate!" Levent didn't hesitate as she immediately suppressed the armored being by activating the Mana Art Formation… To her surprise, this being has already moved close to her and was only one step away from striking her!

"Tsk!" The 'Celestial' was mad after dealing with a supposedly perfect surprise attack on Vincent and failing to kill Levent.

"What have you done?!" Levent wanted to beat this 'Celestial' but she stopped herself as she didn't want to give her an opportunity. She instead put a distance away from her to ensure her safety and so she could concentrate on the formation.

"Ugh! If he didn't hit me with that weird thing, you would've been dead by now…" The 'Celestial' said as Levent finally took a long glance at her…

Indeed, she realized that the waist of the armor have signs of cracks…

'Did he do that?'

She only saw Vincent get struck by the armored being's fist but he didn't see his counterattack! Everything happened so fast! If Vincent did not injure her in that brief moment, she might've been killed before activating the formation just like what she said!

"Vincent! Vincent! Do you hear me?!"

Levent called out hoping that Vincent is still alive…

However, the young man was not answering.

Since she's controlling the formation core, she has to concentrate. She either needs to call for help or push herself to the limit.

There is a driver outside the dungeon and he is a Master Magician. He can certainly help in their situation but she instructed him to only check on them after an hour.

It seems that she had no choice but to multicast… Although it can be taxing to her body, she has to do it.

Her control with the Formation might get weakened but since the 'Celestial' wasn't in her full strength, she might have enough time to rescue Vincent.

Soon, she activated two Elemental Mana Arts… Earth and Water Elements were used.

It wasn't just a simple Tier 3 Mana Art but a combination technique…

It is different from Fusion Arts since the two Elemental Mana Arts are not becoming one and creating another Elemental Mana Art.

The combination technique that she just used doesn't require an incredible talent like Fusion Arts but it requires a lot of mana.

Suddenly, a river of water cleared a part of the rubbles and placed them in one place… After accumulating several mud and stones, they suddenly vibrated and started to move!

After a few seconds, it turned into an earth golem!

Since it doesn't have any core, it means that Professor Levent was fully controlling this golem!

"Hold on, Vincent! Stay alive!"

Levent said in worry. Although Vincent is not answering, she was able to feel his Mana Fluctuations. He's definitely alive and was probably just incapable of moving because of the debris pressing his body.

In the end, she can only use this golem to absorb the remaining rubbles into its body… She doesn't have many Earth Elemental Mana Arts after all since she focused on this high-level golem instead.

Perhaps, if she knows how to use Earth Softening Art or similar techniques, it might be easier for her to save him… Right now, she can only use the river of water to locate Vincent's body before immediately removing it since it might drown him.

"Hmm?"

As she was controlling the golem, she realized that the 'Celestial Being' started squirming on the ground.
