Five days had quickly passed and all the members of Creed of Eiqehin were either captured or killed by Vincent's team. The other squads led by some Platinum Tier or Diamond Tier Manipulators had also contributed and killed more than them.
Because Vincent's team dealt with Paige and Phoebe's team, there weren't strong opponents anymore and the victory of the Star Garden Peak was soon announced.
There were plenty of casualties because of the Corruption Energy but thanks to Faviona's presence, almost everyone who had arrived at the main peak in time was able to receive a pill that can cure their abnormal status.
Although many have died on the side of the peak, there are more members of the Creed that suffered. In any case, the Manipulators were still lucky since many of those who had almost lost their hope gained new hope after being brought to the Main Peak and receiving treatment from Faviona…
"We've finally returned…" Nerissa said with a smile after seeing the Eternal Sun Peak again. She had never missed this place until now.
She looked quite dirty because they'd been living in the wilderness and she only wanted a nice long bath… She then glanced behind her but noticed that Vincent and the others weren't too worn out like her. Although they also seem like they'd been in the wilderness, they looked cleaner and still filled with vigor.
Vincent smiled at her and nodded.
"Indeed… I wonder what Sage Vivian thought of the Creed's plans this time…" He muttered.
After sealing Phoebe and Paige's internal energy, they met up with a group of Gold Tier Manipulators who had accepted a mission from Sage Vivian. They were supposed to help and resupply them with their needs but Vincent decided to send them back to the Peak together with their prisoners.
Sage Vivian will decide whether she'll kill Apostle Phoebe and Paige, or not.
After entering the Peak, a few servants immediately assisted them and Sage Vivian allowed them to rest for two days…
They have been really exhausted during this mission after all. Even if they were still quite strong and recovered their Mana, physical fatigue isn't easily cured.
At night, noticing that Vincent wasn't asleep yet, Agatha could no longer hold it in and came to visit him.
"What's the problem?" Vincent asked after seeing the anxious Agatha. Although she's a Celestial that doesn't hide her emotions in front of her friends, she still wouldn't show any sign of weakness in front of Vincent.
Her current state piqued Vincent's interest as he looked at her blocking the door of his room.
He's currently seated on his bed and was thinking of Transcending a few items to remove half of his Pseudo-Celestial Energy.
He was doing this at night since it would replenish anyway after waking up the next day.
"Ehem… I just want to ask a few questions." Agatha said.
"Is it about Luna's current state?" Vincent asked as if he could read what was on her mind.
Agatha's eyes widened after hearing this but Vincent smiled knowingly.
Luna has indeed replenished her powers. There was no doubt about it. It wasn't temporary and was a complete recovery.
Her strength was incredible and even Agatha couldn't fight against her equally… The difference in Celestial Energy is just too huge. Although she has more energy capacity than Luna, what would be the point of it if she doesn't even have a quarter of energy stored in it?
As for the four new Celestials under his team, they had already seen Vincent as their hope. Recovering their strength through Blood Essence was just too slow.
If they followed Vincent faithfully and sacrifice their life for him, they might also get a chance to be healed like that!
Agatha obviously had a much simpler thought as she directly asked Vincent.
"Yes… It's about Luna, can I also receive that kind of special treatment? I'll do anything for it." She declared with a serious face. Gaining back her peak strength is something that every Celestial Being here would want to obtain.
She had investigated Luna's condition and confirmed that there are no side effects whatsoever. It wasn't a trick, forbidden technique, or ephemeral mana art. It was a genuine recovery magic that helps the Celestials achieve their peak strength.
"Just tell me what I should do…" Agatha as her eyes trailed all over his body.
Vincent may have seen it incorrectly, but she seems to be hinting at something more. Unfortunately, he can't really help her.
After all, he no longer has any healing card with him. He can only hope that he'd get rewarded again. Perhaps after 300 or 500 successful Transcendence? He can't tell…
"That was my last healing card… I'll let you know if I have that again. Don't worry, you're Number 18, I know for a fact that recovering your strength is important for you and myself…" Vincent replied.
"I understand… You're really a mysterious being, Vincent. More mysterious than the gods and goddesses of this world."
With that said, Agatha closed the door and left.
Vincent can only shake his head as he continued grinding his skills. He wanted to level up his Transcendence Skill to level 10 as quickly as possible…
***
On the next day, Sage Vivian finally had the time to meet with Vincent again. The matters regarding the Creed of Eiqehin within their territory have been handled and their place has become peaceful again…
"Thank you for your assistance this time, Vincent… Without you and your Celestial Being's help, we would probably have more casualties on our side. Furthermore, Joran and Phoebe would've probably escaped…" Sage Vivian said as she welcomed Vincent to her residence.
This time, she had decided to show her real self and not the projection.
Vincent can finally sense her vitality so he knows that this Vivian is true.
"Well, I'm also doing it for the rewards…" Vincent said straightforwardly.
This answer made Vivian smile as she nodded.
"You're right… You can look forward to it… However, do you have any specific request?" She asked. Since Vincent wanted to talk about the rewards first, she didn't mind it.
Vincent didn't hesitate to reply as he already thought of an answer…
"How about a Diamond-Tier Mind Cultivation Technique?"
