BXBX NOVEL Chapter 424 Monster?
"Aaahhh!"
The old man cried in pain after his arm was cut off! Blood splattered everywhere as the stench of blood wafted through the air.
Vincent didn\'t mind this as he hastily grabbed the arm and took the purple potion on it. He doesn\'t know what potion it was but it might be something precious so he wanted to keep it for later.
Pah!
Vincent slapped the Tower Master as he felt his head ringing after hearing him cry… The old man finally passed out but he was still bleeding.
Thud…
Vincent caught him and poured a healing potion on his arm to ensure that he won\'t die from blood loss.
He also concentrated for a bit to retract the Corrosive Mana that he had placed on the old man\'s body…
Well, the skill is originally called Corrosive Mana but since he\'s actually using Pseudo-Celestial Energy, this name might be called differently already.
Anyway, this is Tier 1 Mana Art where he needed to infuse Mana on his target after touching him… It can normally be defended by using Mana Protection or if you have Magic Tools that protect you from foreign energy coming in contact with your body…
Of course, the Tower Master has that and it is actually his armor that protects him from similar attacks. However, because of Vincent\'s mutation, any normal protection would no longer work.
They need something different to block his Pseudo-Celestial Energy which is not easy to find.
They have to think of Vincent as a weaker version of the Celestial Being if they ever think of battling against him. Unfortunately for them, he has no plans to publicize his Pseudo-Celestial Energy so he can continuously trick them.
"Vincent… Are you hurt?" Thyrus arrived beside Vincent and looked at his condition.
"I\'m fine… I just spent most of my Mana… It\'s a good thing that he underestimated me so I managed to win before he used his Tier 5 Mana Art." Vincent replied.
"That\'s true… I\'m actually thinking that he\'s waiting for Ignacy to appear before he plans to use it."
"Oh… That might be possible. Since he knows that Magnus and everyone else are here, he must\'ve realized that Master Ignacy is also hiding here." Vincent agreed as he carried the Tower Master to bring him back to the city. He has to interrogate him later.
At this point, he already retracted his Celestial Armor so he felt a bit too small to carry the old man. Luckily, Thyrus volunteered to carry the Tower Master and Vincent just agreed to it…
For the last time, Vincent used his Mana Sense and Item Sense to ensure that the battle is over.
He searched the surrounding area and after confirming that no Barbarians or Magicians were around, he finally heaved a sigh of relief…
\'Right, I need to check their condition…\' Vincent recalled Ayla and Dianne who had fainted after being surrounded by the Pillar of Fire cast by the Tower Master.
Although they weren\'t in critical condition, they seem to have suffered some internal injuries even after being protected by the vessel\'s Emergency Protection Magic.
At this point, Calidia also started reporting to him about the situation in the city. He then allowed her to handle the rebuilding of the structures since she already has experience with this. As for the reconstruction of the Formation Arts, he ordered it to Yulia.
He also ordered her to handle all the compensation they needed to provide to all the victims of this tragedy. Although their treasury might be emptied because of this, Vincent is willing to part with his wealth
It didn\'t take long before Vincent arrived at the medical ward where all the patients who weren\'t fully cured by potions are all staying.
Some lost their limbs, their eyes, and even Mana Cores so they can never be a Magician again. Losing your Mana Core would result in a critical internal injury that not even Vincent\'s potion could heal at this point.
Vincent clenched his fist after seeing this scene… He didn\'t expect that the Barbarians and Black Magic Organization would attack at the same time and even timed it when he was away and his Celestial Beings.
Although he made plenty of preparations and considered many things before he left the City, it just didn\'t come to his mind that the Barbarians would suddenly siege their city…
Vincent felt frustrated at this but he has to move forward. He needed to see the two young ladies who bravely fought against the Tower Master.
As soon as he arrived at the room, he saw Turhan and Faviona who are already beside their student. They seem to be checking the condition of the two who were still unconscious even though they didn\'t seem to have suffered any injuries.
Their appearance looks better now as if they were only sleeping.
He then heard Turhan and Faviona\'s conversation beside the patient\'s bed.
"This is weird… I can\'t find any internal injuries or sickness from the two. However, they won\'t wake up no matter what we try." Faviona frowned as she thoroughly checked Dianne\'s condition.
"Even my Mystic Eye can\'t find anything off about them. Perhaps we just need to give them some time to rest." Turhan suggested as they have already tried everything they could.
"There must be something that we\'ve missed. The Tower Master is also an Aura Knight… Did he use a Soul Art we\'re unaware of?"
"T-that\'s possible… Not good, I\'m not well-versed in Soul Arts."
"Me too…" Faviona replied as she finally noticed Vincent\'s arrival.
"Let me see their condition."
There was no need for greetings as he immediately stood beside Dianne who was closest to the door. He did not study medicine and was certainly not a doctor but he could at least try to check whether both of them has foreign energy inside her body.
Unfortunately, even after Vincent tried using his Magic Tools to detect any forms of energy from the two, he failed to find anything. This might be implying that they were affected by intrusive energy at all.
Vincent also tried to be bold as he used his Pseudo-Celestial Energy to scan their bodies…
Dianne had no reaction to it but a few seconds after Ayla received the Pseudo-Celestial Energy, her body suddenly glowed as if she was about to transform…
It was at this moment when Vincent recalled how Krusk was calling her a monster!
\'This… Is she really a monster?!\' This was in the mind of the three conscious people within the room as they unconsciously backed away from Ayla.
