Chapter 570 Against The Creed ( 6 )
Vincent felt someone behind him and realized that Phoebe found an opportunity to attack him… She truly had perfect timing since he wasn't in a position to fight at the moment.
However, that is only if he doesn't possess Sentient Magic Items with him.
In the instant that Phoebe appeared behind him, his Sentient Source Cube has already made its move. It started to cover Vincent's upper body until his whole body was fully protected.
Clank!
Phoebe's strike was blocked by the sudden appearance of the armor. It appears that she was also trying to skewer Vincent like what she did to Luna…
A glint flashed in Luna's eyes and her majestic Celestial Energy instantly tensed up. Luna had to be precise with her attack since Phoebe is too close to Vincent.
In a blink of an eye, Luna was able to kick Phoebe's shoulder throwing the latter away from Vincent.
Phoebe was shocked after feeling the force behind that kick. She's currently in her Blessed Mode and has gained tiny plenty of power from her goddess. She should have very stable energy and wouldn't easily get hurt by a physical attack.
Even the Bronze Tier Automaton's explosion a while ago had only pushed her back and didn't injure her at all. Bn
However, that kick not only broke her defense but cause internal injuries as well. Her energy started trembling as if she would lose control of it in a moment.
"Urghh…"
Phoebe didn't feel well as she felt some blood coming up to her throat. She tried to suppress it but she still failed in the end. She spat a mouth of blood and looked at Luna dreadfully.
Her kick just now was filled with Celestial Energy and even invaded her body…
"Y-you… You've fully recovered!"
She muttered in disbelief. This is the only reason she could think of…
In her previous state, not even Grand Knights would be able to wound her but just a single kick from Luna had reduced her to her current state.
Vincent jolted after hearing Phoebe's words.
'That's right! It's possible!' Vincent thought as he recalled the healing card's effect.
He was also confused when Luna displayed an incredible fluctuation of energy. After all, she wasn't as majestic as this just a few moments ago.
However, after using the card, she wasn't only healed but also recovered her true peak of power.
Luna only smiled at their confusion as she targeted Phoebe again. This time, she would no longer allow her to tap the power of the goddess backing her.
With her extreme speed, she was able to pummel her again and again until Phoebe's Blessed State started weakening until it was gone…
On the other hand, Luna was still filled with power and she wasn't even using her Source Cube. It must be remembered that the third ability of the Source Cube was the Celestial Mode… By using this mode, Celestial Beings would be in a state where they could even fight against 10 or so Xonid Creatures at the same time…
Boom!
Phoebe crashed to the ground near the remaining members of the creed. A small crater was created and Phoebe was left there filled with bloody wounds.
"Apostle Phoebe!"
"Leader!"
Two of her squad members immediately went to her side ignoring everything else. As for Paige, she also arrived and stood beside the fallen Apostle and looked at Luna warily…
She may not be able to win against her but she still has to show the spirit of their Creed.
There are only four of them remaining and the other five have been killed.
All of them weren't in a good condition as well and were only able to survive until now since they've covered themselves with Corruption Armor as a last resort.
Corruption Armor can also consume their life force but they have no other choice but to do this if they want to fight against the Celestial Beings.
It was already good enough that they were able to survive for several minutes.
At this moment, Vincent already knows that they have already won this battle.
"It's over… Lay down your weapons and I'll let you live." Vincent said as he scanned the surroundings. He wanted to interrogate them so it wouldn't be good if they desperately attacks if they think that they couldn't live anymore.
If he tells them that they have a chance of living, they may not act rashly and think of cooperating instead.
"Ha! We've killed dozens of Manipulators and a handful of Diamond Tiers at that. Do you think that Sages will let us live?" Paige answered mockingly.
She wasn't showing any signs of weakness at all. Although she probably knows that she can't defeat any Celestials here, her bravery made Vincent admire her even for a bit.
"Very well, I have no other choice but to use the other method…"
With a wave of his hand, Luna and the others attack.
They only left Paige and Phoebe alive since Vincent knows that they have a special position within the Creed.
At this point, both of them were extremely exhausted and they could barely feel any mana inside their bodies.
They were captured and tied by the Celestials. Furthermore, they noticed that they were tied with a special rope that constantly interrupts them from using their Corruption Powers.
Well, Vincent has limited Subordination Impulse Potion so they have to find a proper way to disable the Creed members' special ability.
The robe binding them has an attribute of Chaos which makes it difficult for them to muster their internal energy, whether it was mana, aura, celestial energy, and others.
Needless to say, this came from Vincent's rope with Chaos Attribute.
To be specific, he placed a Chaos Attribute on it by using a few of his Chaos Stones.
"This is an incredible item, Vincent. Do you have more of these?" Nerissa asked after realizing the incredible power of the rope in her hands.
"This is only one set I have… If I managed to get more, I'll definitely let you know." Vincent answered with a smile.
These Chaos Stones were a reward from his system after completing some hidden quests years ago. It includes other attribute stones and he had barely touched them in his System Inventory because he was getting most of the attributes he wanted anyway.
After a while, they interrogated Paige and Phoebe and confirmed they're indeed sacrificial pawns to push ahead the plans to open the gate for otherwordly beings…
'We were still too late…'
