Chapter 548 Charge

Joran and his team didn't just kill the three Diamond Tier Manipulators, he actually beheaded them and he was even planning to take their heads somewhere!

Although two Celestials working for Joran seem to have died because of the three manipulators, it is still a huge setback for the Star Garden Peak.

Nerissa could also recognize the faces of those three so she couldn't help but emit her bloodlust…

It was brutal.

On the other hand, Vincent, Millie, Luna, and Agatha, remained calm and didn't leak their aura…

'Tsk... This girl can't even control her emotions...' Vincent thought but he knows that blaming her right now will not do good, they have to change their plans.

Suddenly, Joran glanced in Nerissa's direction and spoke.

"Hey… You can come out now. We can tell that you're there… Are you alone?" Joran calmly asked.

Nerissa realized her mistake as she calmly took a deep breath… As soon as she noticed that Vincent and the others weren't making a move, she understood that she has to do something to get Joran away from the portal.

Then, the rustling of leaves can be heard in the silent forest as Nerissa showed herself.

"I've surrounded you with my Automatons, you can't escape." Nerissa bravely said and she even smiled at them provokingly.

"Really? Are you stronger than these three Diamond Tier Manipulators?" Joran asked with a grin on his face. He obviously didn't care about the Automatons that she was controlling.

He just successfully killed three of the strongest mind cultivators of the Star Garden Peak, and he certainly feels confident winning against a lone Manipulator in front of him.

'Just keep provoking them…' Vincent thought as he observes Joran from his position.

He remained unmoving even though Nerissa exposed herself since he knows that he can't miss a perfect chance to shoot them. His finger remained on the trigger of his rifle as he contained his killing intent and calmed his heart.

Nerissa then smiled as she pointed at Joran…

"Why don't you see for yourself?!"

​ Suddenly, Nerissa burst with energy as she controlled the hidden Crystal Tier Automaton above the Dungeon's portal!

She had actually moved the automaton very stealthily from the back lines and placed it above their heads!

Boom!

The Crystal Tier Turtle Shell Automaton dropped from the sky!

Joran and the Celestials can certainly stop it from causing chaos. However, as soon as they were about to block the Automaton from crushing them…

They suddenly had a bad feeling and change their movements, they immediately dodge to the side and allowed the Crystal Tier Automaton from blocking the portal!

Now, if they want to enter the dungeon, they have to spend some time making a path!

The Turtle Shell Automaton immediately burst with energy as it expands its defense to cover the whole portal.

"Tsk… What was that?" Joran grunted as he looked at his surroundings.

Just now, they felt a dangerous threat aim at their heads when they focused on the Automaton above them.

However, it immediately disappeared as soon as they remained vigilant and dodged the Crystal Tier Automaton….

"We can't sense them through normal means, they're probably Automatons similar to the ones controlled by the blond guy." One of the Celestials reported.

She was referring to one of the heads hanging on Joran's waist. One of them has blond hair and all of his Automatons were like beings of the shadow.

They were the best assassins they'd encountered and inside the dungeon, they were incredibly fierce. It even led to the death of two Celestial Beings.

However, they are no longer inside the dungeon so they actually felt safer here. The world is vast and they can move freely…

"I understand… Let's escape for now… This woman is probably just being used as bait or something." Joran analyzed their situation and made a decision.

The battle against the three Diamond Tier Manipulators consumed all of their resources. All their potions were used up, their magic tools were broken, their Celestial Weapons were damaged, and their Celestial Energy hasn't been replenished yet.

If they continue to stay here, the enemy reinforcement might arrive and they might really get captured this time.

"I remember your face… We'll see you soon!" Joran announced as he glared at Nerissa… A wave of corruption energy rushed toward her and it was invisible to the naked eye…

It might be a problem if Nerissa was caught in this attack but Vincent can't worry about her. She's already a Crystal Tier Manipulator and she should have a way to survive this attack…

'Now!'

Since Joran used his technique, he had to divide his attention to control his attack going to Nerissa… Needless to say, this is what Vincent was waiting for…

Click!

They all pulled the trigger of their rifles as their bullets headed straight toward the heads of their targets…

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Joran and the rest have less than a second to react… It happened so quickly and Joran wasn't prepared at all!

"Aaaccckk!"

Joran was hit by three bullets but only one of them hit his vital organ… He was shot in the side of his neck, his left shoulder, and his heart!

The ones aimed at his head were luckily blocked by the Celestials beside him!

Apparently, the Celestial Beings weren't targeted at all. All the bullets were aimed at Joran.

The Celestials were only able to dodge or block the bullets that were randomly in their path.

Of course, they weren't unscathed as they protected Joran even if they have to block the bullets with their bodies…

'Tsk… They're actually willing to die for Joran? Just what kind of potion did he give to them?' Vincent mused but he immediately shook his head.

The Celestials have probably calculated the trajectory of bullets before blocking them. After all, he can see that even though the Celestials were also shot, they only allowed themselves to be hit on their non-vital parts.

Anyway, Vincent didn't change his plan. He clearly understood that once Joran died, these Celestials would have a very low chance of wanting to continue their fight.

They decided to empty their magazine to get the kill!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The succeeding bullets were finally blocked by the Celestials' weapons… Furthermore, they were exhausting their Celestial Energy!

They can probably tell the abnormal attributes of the bullets coming from their guns.

It was unfortunate but Vincent doesn't have an infinite number of bullets…

As soon as their magazines were emptied, he ordered everyone to charge!
