Chapter 284 Rescue Operation ( 1 )

"Right! I forgot to tell you that the status of all the disciples is a secret. You can't tell to anyone. Especially how the first disciple got poisoned by her partner… Pfft… Do you understand?!" Lola said as she was holding back her laugh.

It seems that she finds it funny that the first disciple ended up being poisoned.

He doesn't know what kind of history the first and second disciples had but it's probably not a good one.

Anyway, he promised not to tell to anyone as he made sure to remember this information in his heart.

Especially the status of the Fifth Disciple… He was actually at the 15th Tower? Ignacy didn't mention it to him at all.

'Is he related to the Immortal Project?' Vincent frowned at the thought.

If he was indeed related to the Celestial Incarnation Project and the Immortal Project, Vincent would probably not be surprised. As a disciple of the Tower Lord, he must be somewhat special and this might be his strong suit.

"I understand… But, I'm also blind. Although I can see some light, it's not even enough to recognize people."

"It's alright! I know that you're still strong… After realizing that you also have two Celestial Beings, my confidence in your strength increased even more."

"Well, even if that's the case, do you know the strength of the Barbarians there?"

"Yes! There should a 20 Barbarian Kings… I can handle them alone. However, the real problem is those three Totemic Barbarians. They can completely cancel all my attacks. I heard that you were good with Mind Attack… or was it Soul Attacks? That should do!"

'Oh… No wonder you came to me…' Vincent thought.

"It's my first time hearing about the Totemic Barbarians. I heard about the Warlocks of the Barbarian Race. They should be stronger than the barbarian, are they the same?" Vincent asked.

Lola shook her head.

"No… Those Totemic Barbarians were the secret weapon of the Red Alliance. No one has ever heard about them until the invasion of that small island. If I didn't send spies to monitor the battle, we wouldn't even know about their existence… Tsk. Those old fools in the tower were too careless." Lola explained as she seemed really worried about these new or probably secret warriors of the Barbarian Race.

Lola then informed Vincent about the Totemic Barbarians' abilities as Vincent realized why having Mind Attacks is extremely important when dealing with them.

In exchange for having an incredibly strong physique, magic resistance, drug or potion resistance, and even resistance against aura techniques, their minds have become vulnerable.

Based on how Lola explained it, the Totemic Barbarians were basically unstoppable machines that can only be killed by targeting their minds.

He felt relieved hearing this since his weapon skills will indeed help him a lot.

"I guess that you really have a high Consciousness Energy…" Lola muttered seeing how confident Vincent was.

"No. I'm not that strong. I'm just relying on my weapons… I was lucky. Most of my weapons have this convenient ability."

"That's possible?"

Lola was shocked to hear this. She shook her head as she immediately changed her question.

"No way… Then why can't I probe your cultivation? Isn't that because your Consciousness Energy is higher than mine? I can barely feel any energy fluctuations from you."

This is what she really thought about Vincent. As far as she knows, only those with Consciousness Energy can create Mind Techniques. Since her consciousness energy is already at the level of a Grand Magnus, only those individuals who had practiced their mental strength to a high level can cancel her probing skills.

"Ahh…" Vincent wryly smiled. It was probably because he has Pseudo-Celestial Energy so she was having difficulty probing his fluctuations.

"I have an item that can hide my cultivation… Ehem… Anyway, what would you do after dealing with the Barbarians? I mean, you will be offending not just the Red Alliance but also the Black Tower since you represent our organization, right?"

"Of course, I have a plan for that! So… Does it mean you will join us?"

Vincent sighed after hearing this as he nodded slowly.

"Yes… I will join you if you have a plan for a smooth operation. We have to make sure that we won't be too implicated in this... You've seen my residence. I have my people. I can protect myself but they can't." Vincent said with seriousness in his voice.

"Me too! I have a territory with 10,000 people! Dealing with the aftermath is easy, I have something that can block any divination and tracers… As long as we kill all the barbarians, no one will suspect us. As for the prisoners, I can even bring them back to my territory if they want.

"Well, that's an exaggeration, I can probably take half of them…" Lola immediately corrected herself after recalling the total number of prisoners that were reported to her.

There were over 5,000 prisoners!

That's a lot of mouths to feed!

Even if they do have the money to buy food, Lola's territory's food production wouldn't be enough for them…

"Then it's probably about time I set up my own territory…" Vincent muttered as Lola immediately become excited.

"Really?! Buy the land near mine! I know a good place for settlement! There is an untouched gold deposit close to it. It's also near a freshwater lake and forest. Well, you need to kill eight Magic Beasts guarding that place but that should be easy for you."

"A gold deposit?"

"That's right… The place isn't that expensive since you still have to kill eight Magic Beasts… but I'm sure you can manage that." Lola said with a nonchalant voice.

It was as if she had already seen Vincent defeat eight Magic Beasts. Vincent thought for a moment since this suggestion is indeed quite tempting.

'Well, I still have an Enchanted Bloodstone… I could probably set up a trap to kill those eight Magic Beasts but…'

"Hmm… I'll look into it first, Second Sister. To be honest, I will be asking Master Ignacy for a suggestion."

"Fine… Let's do it after we rescued those prisoners… Although we still have two weeks, we needed a week of preparation since we have to find a perfect place to land an ambush." Lola explained.

"I guess you already have something in mind."

"Of course… I already know the path they'll use. Also, we can't bring your aircraft. My anti-divination can't cover that thing…" Lola said as she explained what she can do…

Vincent listened silently as they perfected their plan to completely annihilate the barbarians.
