Novel Bin Chapter 61 Escape
The commander of the Swordbreaker Army including the members of the Red Rose Knights saw some vague three numbers marked on the Celestial\'s shoulder.
Though they weren\'t able to see it clearly as the Celestial Being covered it with her hands, there was no way they could mistake this.
As soon as the soldiers heard their commander, everyone was stunned!
Numbered Celestials are just too rare and obviously, only fellow Numbered Celestial can fight another Numbered one.
"Hmph! Armand! Both of them are still injured! We can capture them if we work together!" The Captain of the Red Rose Knights immediately said to the Commander of the Swordbreaker Army.
Armand then weighed the situation as he indeed recalled that the two Celestial Beings got injured yesterday after piercing the body of each other outside the city.
With that in mind, he immediately agreed.
"Alright, Klaus… Let\'s work together…"
Compared to his army, the Red Rose Knights have more experience when dealing with the Celestial Beings and other high-level criminals, so he respected the captain\'s opinion as well.
Their Swordbreaker Army was, after all, mostly dealing with the bandits, savage beasts, magic beasts, and even clearing up dungeons.
"Shoot the Mana Arrows!" Armand ordered.
Soon, over 50 Mana Arrows came rushing to the two Celestial Beings! These Mana Arrows weren\'t even created using normal means but using a Magic Bow! This amplified the strength of their arrows and with this number, the Celestials wouldn\'t be able to ignore it at all.
They might not suffer any damage during normal times but today is different! They were both injured after fighting!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The two figures of the Celestial Beings immediately retreated as they saw the arrows targeting them.
They weren\'t hit by any of them, however, the archers\' job to separate them was successful!
The two groups of elite warriors then emitted a powerful pressure as they rushed towards them!
The Red Rose Knights targeted the Celestial Being with black and yellow armor while the other one was chased by the Swordbreaker Army of the Count.
***
While all of this was happening though, someone from the crowd actually noticed that one of the Celestial Beings is a Numbered Celestial.
He seem to have Mystic Eye as he saw the number clearly!
"Hahaha! Number 999? This is fun! I really have good luck! Finally!"
Instead of cowering in fear after seeing that it\'s a Numbered Celestial. The man even laughed out loud confusing the crowd!
Then, his next action dumbfounded everyone!
The man actually released a powerful fluctuation of mana as he seem to be planning to join the fray.
"My fourth Celestial, I will save you! Here I come!" He shouted out loud for everyone to hear.
Soon, he moved like a ghost as his three female servants followed him! What was strange about this is that his three servants didn\'t emit any Mana Fluctuations at all!
It was perhaps perfectly hidden by a magic tool or it\'s simply because they aren\'t relying on mana!
Of course, Vincent heard the man\'s shout as well and he immediately looked in the direction it was coming from.
He can clearly remember that voice several years ago!
"Is that Joran?" Vincent muttered as he saw the figure of the man jump on the roof of the nearby building as he joined the battle.
It seems that he wasn\'t the only one who recognized the man as some people in the crowd recognize the man as well.
"That\'s Soulless Cleaver!"
"What? Isn\'t his real name Joran Troy the Traitor!"
"He\'s from the Rebel Army! He dared coming here to the city?!"
The crowd was shocked as soon as many of them recognized the person who just joined the battle.
Vincent was, of course, confused about the man\'s identity.
The only thing that he could remember is that Kai indeed call him a traitor to the country. Nevertheless, he didn\'t think too much of it before but it seemed really serious now.
\'Soulless Cleaver? Rebel Army?\'
"Manager Therese, do you know the identity of that man? What\'s with him?" Vincent decided to ask instead.
"Hmm? Right, you may not be familiar with him. Joran was a talented magician Mana Practitioner from the Troy Clan. He was previously known as Soulless Cleaver since he was a ruthless Magician and it shows whenever he fights someone. However, after his clan joined the rebel army, he was now only being called the Joran the Traitor."
"How about his achievement as a Mana Practitioner?"
"He should be an Adept Mage…" As Therese said this, Vincent couldn\'t help but notice the gaze she was throwing at Joran\'s figure.
If stares could kill, that man would\'ve died numerous times already.
At this point, Vincent can only guess that Joran caused trouble with her as well which wouldn\'t be surprising at all considering the man\'s attitude.
Nevertheless, what really irked Vincent about this situation, is that the man just said that he\'ll be taking his fourth Celestial Being!
Vincent can guess that he managed to save Kai\'s spear-wielding Celestial Being and turned it into his own. Furthermore, he also heard that the Celestial who was injured a moment ago was numbered 999!
\'Tsk… Are they going to capture Tara? This is bad…\'
As Vincent started to get worried, he heard several exclamations from the crowd and realized that the Swordbreaker Army stopped assaulting Tara and focused on capturing Joran!
It seems that he has a larger bounty that Commander Armand didn\'t hesitate to change his target at all!
Vincent was delighted to see this happen as he saw Tara\'s figure escape!
\'Good… Don\'t get captured, Tara.\'
He immediately sighed in relief but he suddenly saw Joran break out of the army\'s formation and followed Tara\'s direction!
By relying on the three Celestial Beings who are disguising themselves as magicians, he managed to find an opening to get out of the formation!
The three actually used a powerful Mana Distortion Wave!
It was just a Tier 2 Mana Art but as they wielded it, it had become extremely strong allowing a gap to form and create the perfect formation of the army.
\'They\'re not using their Celestial Armor? Hmm… Why are they posing like Magicians in the first place? Can\'t they reveal it publicly?\' Vincent speculated but he has no real answer to such questions.
A few more minutes had passed and unfortunately for them, the other Celestial was also able to escape from the Red Rose Knights.
In the end, the groups of elite soldiers and knights were unable to stop anyone from escaping since they lack the assistance of another Celestial Being.
