Chapter 457 Tunnel

"Hmm? There are Celestials in the city?!"

Beatrice asked in surprise. She's the youngest in their pack and she hasn't fought against a Celestial Race yet.

She only knows that these powerful beings that the Mana Practitioners would always admire can be suppressed easily with their special ability.

That's right, the Celestial Energy can be greatly weakened if they used their Moonlight Energy.

They can't completely block the Celestial Energy but because of their incredible physique, it would be enough to just weaken it and endure with their body.

Once they transformed, they can also kill the Celestial Race with their sharp claws and fangs that could drill through their skin.

"That's correct… I can't tell how many they are but there should be at least five of them…"

"There are only five? Then I don't think we need to worry about them.?" Beatrice replied with confidence.

"Hmm… That's right, my daughter… Even if there are more of them, we shouldn't be afraid. They might even flee once they saw us…"

"Haha! That would be very funny to see."

As the father and daughter were chatting, one of the scouts in their group appeared at their side and reported…

"Master Clovis, We've noticed a total of eight Celestials who were out of the city… We didn't get too near as we might be noticed by their senses… They seem to be practicing a weapon but we weren't able to see it because they were too far from us…"

"Oh? Eight Celestials? That should be acceptable then… We'll get 16 of us against 8 Celestials… Another 10 will distract the magicians… Then the last four will enter the cave…"

The leader of the pack said as he already planned how they will enter the city. To be honest, they didn't expect to have this many Celestials in this city.

They were even thinking that there won't be any Celestial in this city right now because of the recent unrest in the central plains.

"Understood…" The scout replied as he left to inform the others about the plan.

"I'm excited, father… Are we going to use the secret tunnel? Although they built a city, it should still be there right? Shouldn't we check it first?" Beatrice asked.

"With the presence of the Celestials, it's difficult to check its condition… However, it should be safe since the mountain is still there… Anyway, we can't be too careless… We'll wait until the full moon rises to hide our scent and see if the tunnel works… If not, we'll just force a path…" The leader said as he looked at the clear sky.

The Full Moon doesn't just give them speed and power, it also enhances their natural trait and control with the moonlight energy so they can use it to hide their presence that not even the greatest Grand Magus can detect them.

A few hours quickly passed as the night finally arrived. Soon, a bright and beautiful blue moon can be seen in the clear sky illuminating the entire land.

However, this beautiful scenery is accompanied by an eerily quiet night and not even the sound of insects can be heard in the surrounding forest.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~

The sound of breeze seems everywhere as the trees and grass move about. There are moving figures in the forest and they seem to be heading straight to the mountain near the city.

Needless to say, they are the werewolves who had completed their transformation and searching for the entrance of a tunnel…

This tunnel will supposedly lead them to the gold mine that they have discovered before.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, a series of explosions occurred at the southern gate of Vera City…

It was followed by a ringing bell alarming everyone in the city that they are under attack…

Clovis smiled after hearing this as he led his team to the tunnel.

Now that the distraction has started they should quickly enter the tunnel that will lead to them inside the city…

"Found it!" Beatrice announced using her telepathy… She's currently looking at a huge boulder surrounded by two large trees…

The roots of the trees were even intertwined with each other around the boulder making it completely natural if seen by unknowing people.

"You've found, Beatrice…"

The father and daughter were accompanied by two strong Werewolves that wouldn't pale in comparison with the leader of the pack.

Even though there are only four of them, they weren't scared of infiltrating the city that was filled with Magicians.

After all, the moon is bright and Mana Arts weren't effective against them!

"But there are so many roots around the boulder, we can't flip it like this… Should we just destroy it?" Beatrice asked as she caressed the boulder.

If her father ordered her, she would make a hole in it.

"Alright… We'll move quickly…"

As soon as she heard the signal, Beatrice gave a menacing smile and used her claws to carve the boulder…

Bang!

After carving a path on the boulder, she simply pushed it with a little bit of her strength and the boulder crashed…

The sharp claws of the werewolves are no joke… Each claw is sharp and as durable as an Epic item. It's like they have 10 Epic-Grade Sharp Blades in their hands making them extremely terrifying in close-range combat.

As soon as the path opened, they swiftly jumped inside without any hesitation. The darkness of the tunnel was nothing to them as they moved quickly to reach the gold mine…

It took them a few minutes to move around the dark tunnel but they safely reached the end of the path… It was again blocked by boulders and they easily took care of it with their immense strength.

"We're getting closer…" Clovis said as he lead the pack as quickly as possible.

He knows that the other members of his tribe are doing their best to get the city's attention. No matter how strong they are, there is still a limit to their strength especially if the Celestials are involved...

After breaking a few boulders and going deeper into the gold mine that is within the jurisdiction of the Vera City, they finally found what they were looking for!

However, none of them noticed that a few figures hiding in the shadows were following them all this time.
