BXBX NOVEL Chapter 566 Against The Creed ( 2 )
Nerissa held her breath as she focused on controlling her Automatons…
Since the automatons she\'s controlling are only at Silver Tier, she can\'t use the skill to see their perspective. It is completely different from Gold Tier and above.
It means that she has to rely on her own vision to fight against Phoebe.
One of her Silver Automatons threw a silver needle only to be blocked by Phoebe\'s companion…
Clank!
The silver needle was stopped by a metal shield and only left a scratch on it. Seeing that the strike wasn\'t that strong, the member of the Creed charged forward to destroy all the Silver Automatons.
However, the Celestials didn\'t stay idle as they have one job, to deal with all the squad members except Phoebe…
Celestial 85 used the Illusionary Knife skill of his weapon again creating two flying knives heading towards the shield user behind the squad.
Several Magic Items were activated at the same time to defend and attack but the members of creed were mostly using their techniques to block the attacks coming from their ambushers.
Vines started sprouting beneath their feet… A bell was constantly ringing that causing problems with their energy and there is also a vibration attack that targets their weapons…
This battle style feels like they were trapped by magicians instead of Manipulators…
Paige realized that they are being heavily suppressed by the unusual attack pattern of the enemies but she didn\'t panic…
She pulled out a rare gem from her pocket.
It was an amethyst and it is emitting suppressed cold fluctuations which are difficult to sense if you\'re not touching it… Anyway, this gem is dangerous she even has to use special gloves to hold it in her hands.
\'This is worth 20,000 Mana Crystals… I don\'t want to spend it here but we don\'t have enough time… We need to find Joran and leave this place quickly.\'
Crack… Crack…
Suddenly, Paige started putting pressure on the rare gem…
It only took about 10 seconds to completely crush it!
Bam!
As soon as it was destroyed, a purple wave of energy spread throughout the surroundings… It covered over 500 meters radius and it attracted dozens of Magic Beasts for a brief moment.
However, as soon as they felt the weirdness of the purple energy just now, these Magic Beasts retreated and went further away… No one dared to investigate at all.
"This…"
"All the Magic Items stopped working!"
"Was that done by that pulse of energy just now?"
"It appears so… It\'s interesting…"
The Celestials noticed that the magic items in their hands suddenly stopped working. It was as if it was malfunctioning. They know that it wasn\'t an accident as it all happened at the same time.
Nevertheless, they could still feel that their leather armor that has magic attributes was still working… They can still feel the magical strength of these items and the only problem is drawing them out.
\'So you still have this trick… You can actually restrict Magic Items from triggering their Active Skills…\' Vincent thought as he recalled the EMP in his previous life… However, this time, it wasn\'t electronics that were targeted but the Magic Items.
This is the first time Vincent had experienced this kind of trick.
He immediately checked the items that he can\'t use and realized that all his Awakened Items can still work… His Sentient Source Cube and Sentient Tome of Glutonny are still active. Well, Luna\'s Bloodstone is still working but it seemed to have been damaged as it decreased the speed of its absorption.
The other unawakened items were completely disabled which is a huge threat to normal magicians…
"Impressive… I wonder how long will this last…" Vincent thought as he looked at the Celestials.
He wasn\'t worried at all since the Celestial Beings and even Millie weren\'t Magicians in the first place. They were all capable of fighting even without the magical abilities of their weapons and equipment.
The Celestials are only using Magic Tools to see the limit of their enemies or to see how they would respond to it.
Now that it was useless, it was fine for them to shift with their close combat weapon and use their Celestial Energy to fight…
As soon as they released their energy, the members of the Creed trembled as their eyes widened in shock.
"C-celestials!"
"Those aren\'t female knights… They\'re Celestials!"
"Tsk! Why are they acting as if they\'re Magicians?!"
"Not good! Do not stop releasing the Miasma! We need to control the environment or we\'ll be at a disadvantage!"
The familiar energy fluctuations brought panic to their midst and they even failed to recognize that Millie was only a Grand Knight and not a Celestial Being. However, since she\'s surrounded by Celestials and moving together with them, they also thought that she\'s one of them…
Furthermore, she\'s also very attractive which is one of the requirements for being a Celestial…
Vincent smiled seeing how the battle was going on… Since the purple energy pulse stopped his Mana Drain, he decided to order the Sentient Tome to start working.
Soon, the battle intensified as the swords and shields clashed together.
***
As the members of the Creed were thinking of intensifying the power of miasma they were releasing, the ground suddenly started to tremble…
Without a word, they immediately jumped away knowing that there was an attack beneath them…
Boom!
A huge crystal coffin appeared… or that was what it seems like…
However, looking at it closely, it was the Crystal Automaton that was previously blocking the entrance of the dungeon.
It had actually hidden underground and targeted Phoebe at such a crucial time…
Luna had thrown a couple of daggers with Pierce\'s attributes to get Phoebe\'s attention… The latter waved her scythe to cut these daggers into two but the sudden appearance of the Crystal Automaton disrupted her movement and missed the daggers.
Cling… Cling…
The daggers hit Phoebe\'s bracers as she mockingly smiled at Luna… She can tell that those daggers are incredibly sharp but corrupting their tip is more than enough to stop them from doing damage to her.
She then looked at the Crystal Automaton and chuckled…
"Not even a Platinum Tier… Pathetic…"
