Vincent's eyes went wide open as soon as he heard this revelation.
The only single-digit Celestial that he has a clue about their location was Number 9. Apparently, this Celestial Being is somehow related to the previous duke of the Tudor Kingdom and should be hiding there for some unknown reason.
As for the other single-digit Celestials, he only knows about their abilities or accomplishments.
The Celestials said that Number 8 uses Space Element, Number 5 was the source of the Mana Cultivation Technique, Soul Cultivation Method, and others…
The Number 1, on the other hand, has Cloning Techniques… He only recently learned about this as well and even suspected that Tara and Ayla were actually Number 1's clones…
His interest in this topic grew as he listened to their conversation. It was the same for the others, especially Ceri and Millie who had recently been interested in the Celestials because of how the incident with the werewolves happened.
"What about the two of them? Are you telling me that they're at the Star Garden Peak?" Agatha asked.
Faviona smiled hearing her reply as she continued.
"Yes… They're both quite interesting. However, I could tell that they weren't that friendly to outsiders so I asked Vincent to bring the Celestials with him. It's a good thing that you know them. Are you on friendly terms with them?"
"Not really… I'm Number 18… I can probably get along with Claire but single-digit Celestials were arrogant. They won't normally bother with others… If I'm making a guess, Teresa is only using Claire…"
Agatha replied matter of factly.
"What? How can you say that? Ugh… Well, it's not that I doubt you but I'm curious about what you know about them… Can you share it with us?" Faviona asked.
Since they have plenty of time on this journey, gossiping—or perhaps gathering information, is the best thing they can do to pass the time.
"Hmm… Teresa should be at her full strength right now… Unlike the other Celestial Beings, she can use Astral Energy to fill her core… Vincent, you've done something with Number 105 and Number 115, right?"
Vincent jolted after hearing his name suddenly. He was expecting this so his mind went blank for a moment.
He didn't do anything to the Celestials at all so he was confused…
'Aahh!'
It took him a moment to recall what happened to the two as he answered.
"W-well… It wasn't really me… They're the ones who discovered something and made changes to their bodies. I'm still observing whether their changes are quite safe or not… We're also looking for possible side effects…"
After pausing for a moment, Vincent immediately added…
"Ah, actually, there is indeed a side effect so we want to make sure that it wouldn't get worse."
Vincent explained as he subtly recall how he was hugged by Katea and Lucia at that time. They seem to be too attracted to him for a brief moment so he can consider it a side effect.
Agatha and Luna nodded at this time as they seem to have noticed this as well. As for the others, they were obviously clueless about what they were talking about but they remained silent and just listened to their conversation.
At the very least, they were able to pick up some clues during their conversation and got an idea about what happened to Numbers 105 and 115.
"If I'm not mistaken, the changes of those two are related to their Celestials Energy recovery… They seem to have learned another method of recovering their energy and it's quite similar to how Number 2 does it… However, it was a lot weaker since I noticed that they were only doing it during the day."
Luna added.
"That's correct. They can only use the method if there's sunlight… It doesn't work at night. Well, they might be mistaken as werewolves if they can collect Moonlight Energy as well."
Vincent joked for a bit but no one laughed.
Faviona then spoke relieving Vincent from the awkward atmosphere.
"It's still a good thing that you know them. However, in case you fight against Teresa, do you have a chance of winning? The truth is, they might challenge you into battle. The Celestials living in the Star Garden Peak are quite bored in their life so if you're not there, they might challenge the Grand Knights that Vincent brought instead." Faviona explained as she looked at Ceri and Millie who were frozen for a moment.
These two know for themselves that fighting against an Unnumbered Rank Celestial is already their limit. It doesn't even mean they can win against an Unnumbered but they can at least survive or escape from them for a period of time.
There was no way they could win against the Number 2 Celestial even if they worked together.
Luna shook her head at this and added.
"Well… I understand why they're so bored. We normally have a virtual dueling system to relieve our boredom but we can no longer use that since Qheglena is missing."
Vincent's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Virtual Dueling System? That sounds interesting…"
The group started chatting for a while as they learned more about the Celestial Beings… In the end, Agatha and Luna agreed to deal with Teresa if she decided to challenge them to relieve her boredom.
Well, Faviona also mentioned that she wouldn't be surprised if the elders of the Star Garden Peak instigated Teresa to challenge them.
The Star Garden Peak can be mysterious and filled with weird people after all.
"Right, about Vivian Kayser… Will introduce me to her?" Vincent asked.
"Of course. I didn't forget about that. But once we're in their territory, be sure to address her by her title… You have to call her Sage Vivian…" Faviona reminded.
"Sage Vivian… I got it."
"Kayser? Is he related to you, Vincent?" Millie asked.
Many of them already know that Vincent's last name is Kayser because of the Kayser Tower so Vincent wasn't surprised.
"I'm not sure as well so I want to meet her at the very least. It's quite rare to find someone with the same last name after all." Vincent replied.
As Millie was about to ask more about Sage Vivian, Turhan suddenly announced that there are dark clouds ahead of them…
Furthermore, it is getting bigger and bigger similar to the behavior of the Mana Calamity!
