This time, Professor Levent acted…
"Let me take care of it"
She immediately controlled the Formation Art to control the golem's core… That's right, she wasn't trying to shield them from the explosion but she was trying to divert the accumulating energy to the Formation Core she was holding!
This is supposedly her trump card against the Xonid Creatures or any creatures that are just too strong for her.
This formation is using the same concept as Vincent's Mana Drain! It could gather the energy of anyone or anything within the formation and transfer them to its Formation Core!
p Of course, this is her first time using it on a core that was about to explode but this is certainly a good chance to show off her Formation Arts…
However, to her surprise, the energy of the core was just too strong and she can't drain them fast! She only lasted for about 20 seconds!
"I'm at my limit… But I've already weakened it!" Levent immediately announced as she had to ask for their help.
Krusk didn't hesitate as he swiftly summoned a huge water prison! A huge sphere of water immediately surrounded the golem's core that is currently floating above them.
"Haha! I'm strong! Let me contain it for you!"
The young River Dragon laughed seeing how he was able to convert his mana into water. This is the power of Master Magicians but the speed of his conversion and the volume of water that was made was certainly something that not many magicians were capable of pulling off.
Vincent watched everything as he was also preparing to do something on his side… However, after seeing Krusk's move, he believes that it would be strong enough to contain the explosion if it really came to that point…
The most that he could do is to ensure that Yulia and Calidia wouldn't get affected at all.
Whoosh~
The sphere of water did not remain unmoving, it actually started spinning extremely fast as the energy of the core started fading away…
It seems that most of the mana inside the golem's core was transferred to the water! Vincent didn't know that Krusk has this kind of trick.
Soon, the core weakened to a great degree that they no longer feel threatened about it… However, they still remained cautious seeing that the body of the golem wasn't disappearing yet.
Normally, the golem will disintegrate or just crumble into many pieces once its core has disappeared. However, it is still brimming with energy which confused Vincent for a bit.
As he was planning to check the golem, he heard the voice of the white-haired Celestial.
"Stop… The Golem is still active… It has two cores…" She warned Vincent…
After saying this, she didn't hesitate to step forward and crushed the golem's chest with her bare hands!
She did not even use her armor to do this!
Crash!
Her hand pierced through the golem's body and swiftly pulled it out with a blue core in her palm… This is the same golem that Tara and Rem couldn't easily crush without circulating their Celestial Energy…
It must be remembered that their Celestial Energy is very precious and difficult to recover without Vincent's support. To spend it against a golem is certainly proof that this creature is stronger than many people or beasts that they've met.
"Impressive... As expected of Number 80, those numbers do not lie, I guess." Vincent muttered.
Rem looked at him with disappointment but he didn't notice this as Number 80 threw the golem at him.
"Hmm?"
"Take it… I have no need for that core. You're the leader of this group, right? In any case, I need to get more information from you. I've been asleep for a very long time."
"That makes sense. All right, I will take it. In case you also want to replenish your Celestial Energy, I can help you as well."
"Hahaha… What? Do you want to give your blood essence? You already have two Celestial Beings sucking your energy. Do you want to die?" She laughed as she was aware that taking blood essence isn't as safe as how others made it seem.
They would take their cultivation making it more difficult for them to advance. If it was done many times in a week, there's a chance that the provider will rank down or even die if they were not careful enough.
That was only for supporting a single Celestial Being!
If Vincent decided to take more, no matter how talented he was, he would still suffer. Even top-grade or heaven-grade talent wouldn't be able to support three Celestial Beings.
Vincent smiled as he understands her concern. She's not aware of how he does it after all.
"I'm quite special so I can assure you that I won't die."
Vincent answered with confidence.
Number 80 was a bit confused as she looked at Tara and Rem who were also calm and didn't seem to mind Vincent's decision. She became curious about it.
She then recalled something…
"Right, you're blessed by some deity… It must be related to that! Am I right?"
She immediately said.
Of course, Vincent did not answer her as this involved his secret. Instead, he just continued asking her.
"So, are you interested now?"
The Celestial hesitated for a moment… To be honest, she wanted a stronger Mana Practitioner to provide her with some blood essence. A Grand Magus would suffice her. That way, it would be a lot easier for her to recover.
Vincent was obviously not a Grand Magus from her perspective. However, she also wanted to know what was special about Vincent… He's blessed by a deity after all.
"I won't make a contract with you yet. Give me a few weeks so I can see how much Celestial Energy I'll recover if I stick with you."
"Hmmm… That doesn't sound bad. Alright, let's do that."
Vincent answered with a smile… He knows that she'll stay after all.
The Celestial found his confidence quite amusing as she looked around to see his 'followers'.
To her surprise, she seems to have missed one of them a while ago.
"Wait… What is that?" She asked in a confused tone.
She's referring to Calidia as a thing instead of a person.
