BXBX NOVEL Chapter 525 Numbered Celestials
The slaves that are working inside the Scarlet Dungeon are indeed the mighty Celestial Beings, the mysterious and well-respected beings outside this dungeon.
However, the Martial Arts Alliance had captured so many of them to turn into slaves to uncover the creature inside the red crystal.
If this was known to the public, other strong Celestial Beings would surely come to wreak havoc and this place would be taken advantage of by other organizations to cause trouble for their organization.
This is why this place was hidden and heavily guarded by numerous First-Class Martial Artists.
As a matter of fact, they have selected this location as their headquarters to properly hide the entrance to this dungeon.
As for the reason why they have selected the Celestials, it is simply because they are immune to the corruption brought by the red crystal.
"Hmm… Did you say 201? Where is she?" The Twin Blade Master asked after hearing the man\'s words.
Right now, the Celestials were only wearing tattered clothes barely hiding their private parts because of the corruption that could affect almost anything except for the Celestial\'s bodies.
"She should be resting on the side right now… Only about a hundred Celestial can work together at the same time… They would normally switch every 3 hours."
The first-class Martial Artist replied as he swiftly looked around… He immediately found Number 201 and pointed to her.
She has long silver hair and a slender pale body so she was quite easier to find.
She also noticed that they were looking at her so she glanced at them with cold eyes. She didn\'t show any more reaction and returned her gaze to the red crystal…
Lancelot seem satisfied with her as he spoke to the martial artist…
"I want her… Tell me about the three Unnumbered Celestials you mentioned just now."
"Of course… I suggested them since I believe that you\'re sending them to a battle. The three Unnumbered Celestials may not be as powerful as the Numbered Celestials but these three have Awakened their talent in controlling Elements."
The martial artist immediately replied surprising the two Paragons.
"Ohh… So it\'s true that they can awaken their hidden talent. However, even if they can use elements, will they be better at it than the Grand Magus? They may not be as good as Unique-Grade Magic Tool. We might be facing a few Grand Magus so I don\'t think using the power of elements would work well against them. I believe that the brute force of the Numbered Celestials is better." The Twin Blade Master said as he faced Lancelot who nodded in agreement.
He didn\'t mind that the martial artist is making a suggestion. The Twin Blade Master only wanted to hear more from him since he knows that aside from controlling some elements, there should be more to it.
He was right…
The First-Class Martial Artist smiled and immediately explained himself…
"The truth is that if the three of them work together, they can become an unstoppable force… They can create a small field where Mana Arts will be ineffective. They seem to have accidentally discovered it when practicing together with their elemental techniques. I\'ve trained them really well so they will listen to your words." The Martial Artist grinned after seeing their surprised expression.
He already deduced that the Paragons will be fighting against Magicians since they\'re planning to bring Celestial Beings with them. If they\'re only dealing with the Demonic Cult, the Barbarians, or other Renegade Martial Artists, there wouldn\'t be a need to bother these Celestials after all.
"Ho~ That sounds interesting… How small is this field you\'re talking about?" Lancelot ask.
"It should be around 30 meters…" The man replied with a smile.
"That\'s impressive!" The Twin Blade Master commented. It is definitely not a small field.
With that field, they would be able to surprise the Magicians and kill them in surprise.
Although Magic Tools that disrupt Mana Arts also exist, they are simply another type of Magic Tool and they can be easily disabled once noticed by some detectors before they were activated.
However, if this can be done by the three Celestials without using tools, then it can give their enemies a huge surprise.
"Fine… Select the Celestials suited for battle…" Lancelot said after considering for a moment.
"Yes! Please give me a few seconds."
Soon, the man spoke to the assigned guards as they called for the selected Celestial Beings.
Currently, the Celestials weren\'t in a good condition because they were working in harsh conditions. Lancelot doesn\'t even know whether they are being fed here in the dungeon…
All the Celestials here were bound by some sort of curse or magic used by the Alliance Head on each of them. The Paragons weren\'t aware of how it was done but nevertheless, they know that they don\'t have to feed these Celestials with Blood Essence, unlike the common knowledge.
It seems that they can also absorb some energy here without the Blood Essence.
However, it is obviously not enough to make them powerful to the point that they could break the curse cast by the Alliance head.
Soon, ten Celestial Slaves were brought in front of the two Paragons.
There are seven Numbered Celestials Beings and three Unnumbered.
They are Numbers 201, 294, 399, 679, 692, 882, and 835…
"Consume these…"
Lancelot said as he brought out ten potions to be fed to the Celestial Beings…
These potions weren\'t able to help them recover their Celestial Energy but they can relieve their mental fatigue and stamina…
Lancelot nodded in satisfaction after seeing the ten of them follow his instructions without any problems…
"Hmm… I think I should test their abilities… Hey, give them back their equipment. I want to try how strong they are." The Twin Blade Master said and Lancelot wanted to protest it but he was indeed curious about these Celestials.
He wasn\'t worried about the Twin Blade Master since he clearly knows that he had already killed a few Celestial Beings before.
The First Class Martial Artists hesitated for a moment before ordering someone to give their equipment back…
\'I won\'t be blamed for this if there\'s an accident, right?\'
