Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer-Chapter 500 Descent
Based on the report they have received, the Black Tower has 36 Mage Towers that are known to the public.
Then, there were 4 other Mage Towers that can only be accessed by Red Emblem members and above. Well, even if you have the red emblem, special permission is still required to enter these towers.
Currently, the Black Magic Organization has already controlled 21 Magician Towers and 9 were destroyed in a siege. As for the remaining towers, they were fully controlled by Tower Lord Mikhail except for the four independent Mage Towers that are basically at the north, east, west, and south of the land.
These four Mage Towers haven't fallen yet and the Martial Arts Alliance believes that perhaps, the only remaining chances for the Black Tower Organization to survive would depend on these four special Mage Towers.
There was certainly nothing about a Mythical Beast. There were no signs of them over the past few decades.
If that were the case, they can only think that this Dragon wasn't from the Black Tower but from the uprising organization that is destroying them…
With this in mind, Colm and Ariana immediately displayed their might to show that they weren't members of the dying Black Tower and in fact, the Paragons of the Martial Arts Alliance.
"Greetings, Senior… We are from the Martial Arts Alliance. I'm Colm and the Alliance Head bestowed the title of Paragon to my name. Our group here is currently in conflict with the members of the Black Tower and we only want to teach them a lesson."
Colm spoke with respect in front of the man capable of riding a Mythical Beast.
Even if the man doesn't appear to be too old, he knows how to position himself in front of a very strong person. Although he acknowledges that he's an arrogant person, it doesn't mean that he's stupid.
He will only look down on people whom he can.
If he knows he's at a disadvantage, he would do his best to suppress his arrogance.
"I'm Ariana and I also received the title of Paragon." Ariana spoke with a hint of pride in his tone since there aren't many Paragons in the first place.
As expected, as soon as they lowered themselves and didn't show their superiority, the man riding the dragon spoke with a hint of amused tone…
They didn't feel any hostility at all!
It was a good start! f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
"Hmm… So you two are the Paragons I've heard a lot about."
"Yes, that would be us…" Ariana replied as she looked at the man who had decided to descend from the head of the dragon.
Honestly, she's wishing that he orders this dragon to fly away or at least wait in the sky so she can calmly think.
Right now, the presence that the dragon exudes was really getting into her mind.
The pressure was a bit suffocating if she stopped using her Body Cultivation Technique.
"So it was like that…" The man replied obviously uninterested in their title as a Paragon.
"May I know if you're the rumored Apostle of the Magic God?" Ariana cautiously asked.
In the meantime, Vincent was stunned after hearing her…
'Apostle? Is there something like that?' Vincent was confused again but it sounded true considering there are indeed gods or deities in this world. Perhaps, he might even be considered Vera's apostle considering the gifts that he had received from her.
Anyway, Vincent didn't answer the woman and only smiled as he shifted his gaze to Luna and the others. They can only show their relieved expression and didn't even have the energy to greet him at all. They were too exhausted and perhaps, they were still enduring the pain in their bodies.
His gaze swept at the surroundings and immediately understood the situation.
'Haa~ I was still too late…' Vincent sighed as he brought out a bag of potions and threw it to Luna…
Luna caught the bag easily and she didn't even have to ask as she already knows what to do.
"Immediately treat the ones critically injured. I'll deal with the rest." Vincent said as his gaze returned to Ariana and Colm…
At this point, they already realized that the person in front of them is unlikely to be the Apostle of the Magic God.
"Y-you're from the Black Tower?!" Colm asked as he gulped in nervousness.
Vincent didn't answer him as he threw his question instead.
"Can you tell me about the Apostles you've mentioned?" Vincent asked with an interrogative tone.
"Huh? Are you ignoring my question? Why would I answer that? You think this Mythical Beast can protect you?!" Colm angrily said as he dashed towards Vincent.
He already knows that escaping will be difficult with the Dragon's presence so their only chance of survival is to capture Vincent and threaten the Dragon.
It may not work but that's the best option he could think of so far. Furthermore, even though the Dragon is near, it is quite huge and shouldn't be fast enough to protect Vincent with its tough scales.
Bam!
Colm used his Cunning Palm to hit Vincent. This would use almost half of his energy but it will allow him to turn Vincent into a vegetable state without any chance of killing him.
That's right, he wasn't planning to kill Vincent since he needs to negotiate with the Mythical Beast later on…
Using the Cunning Palm, Vincent's brain will only be damaged and his heart will remain beating… Colm felt that he could easily fool them that Vincent can still be saved as long as they follow his words.
However, to his surprise, he didn't feel the human muscle that he should have hit but instead, felt a cold steel that had reflected some damage back at him…
"Aaaarrgghhh!"
His wrist was broken and failed to achieve his plan…
He wanted to retreat in haste but was met by a kick on his cheek!
Boom!
He was thrown a few meters before he was caught by the female Paragon.
At this moment, they saw Vincent wearing a familiar armor that he shouldn't be capable of wearing!
