Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer-Chapter 547 Heads

After a few minutes, Vincent's team completed their preparation. They have found good spots to observe the portal and surrounded the area to ensure that no one can escape from them.

Their positions have been marked by the Mongoose Automatons so the Crystal Snakes wouldn't cause trouble for them during this time. Of course, they can also climb trees to avoid these snakes but doing this will slow them in case of emergency.

Anyway, they also wanted to ensure that Joran would not receive any backups from the Creed of Eiqehin. To do this, Nerissa decided to spread out her other lower-tier Automatons to monitor the surroundings.

Vincent wanted to set up a Formation Art but unfortunately, it will just be destroyed by the Crystal Snakes according to Nerissa.

He had no choice but to change his plan and just gave rifles to his teammates except Nerissa who doesn't know how to use it. At the very least, he also gave her a shawl that can hide her presence since they have to ensure that their ambush will succeed.

"Thank you… I'll return it after this mission… Right, are those weird staff more powerful than the Celestials' weapons? I'm pretty sure they're equipped with Pseudo-Legendary Grade Items if not Legendary Items, right?" Nerissa curiously asked. She actually felt that using those high-grade weapons might be a lot better.

She had a deep impression of them when the Celestials used them in the duel.

On the other hand, she could tell that these Rifles were only at Epic Grade or maybe even lower so she was confused.

"This black staff is called a Rifle. They're quite special." Vincent vaguely replied. Anyway, she would see later how it works so there's no need to rush.

He then asked…

"Are you finished with your preparation?"

"Yes… My Automatons have already moved to surround the area. I won't miss anything within 150 meters."

"I see…" Vincent said.

He was actually counting the number of Automatons that Nerissa was controlling.

"Eight… A total of eight automatons are currently out…" He softly muttered after sensing all the automatons.

Nerissa heard this and smiled.

"Yes… But they are all Silver and Brass Automatons… I'm mostly using them for reconnaissance."

"Can you still control your Crystal Tier Automaton?"

"I can't. I have to relinquish my control with the Silver Tier to use the Crystal Tier…" Nerissa explained. Although she doesn't like telling about the limit of her abilities, she knows that it is important to let her teammates know about this.

Vincent nodded at her answer and as he was about to reply, he suddenly felt the fluctuation of space or the portal of the dungeon.

Someone is coming out of the dungeon!

Even the snakes were alerted and already started gathering near the portal.

These Crystal Snakes were still underground and it appears that they were planning to just ambush anyone who was about to come out.

Indeed, it was the right choice not to kill them. They actually gained another set of attackers.

'Now… Let's see who's coming out…'

Whom~

Suddenly, a figure of a woman came out and it was definitely not the Diamond Tier Manipulators. According to Nerissa, the three people who had chased Joran inside the dungeon were all adult men.

It means that the one who came out was actually Joran's Celestial!

This is not good…

Unless Joran eliminated the threat inside the dungeon, his Celestials would certainly not leave him!

There is a high chance that the three Diamond Tiers have died inside the Dungeon!

Sssaaaa~

A couple of Crystal Snakes suddenly pounced toward the Celestial… The latter wasn't too surprised by the attack as if she was expecting an ambush…

Clank! Clank!

The two Crystal Snakes were brushed away by the Celestial's kick but they were not killed.

They were truly quite tough considering they could withstand the Celestial's attack.

Three more snakes charged forward as they targeted her limbs…

"Get lost!"

The Celestial no longer saved her Celestial Energy as she cut the snakes with blades that were formed by her energy.

After this, the remaining Crystal Snakes stopped in their tracks but they remained underground monitoring her movements.

The Celestial's leather armor wasn't in a good shape and her clothes were tattered. Some wounds on her jade white skin can also be seen showing that she wasn't in her best condition.

From her appearance, everyone can tell that the Celestial fought a very tough battle inside the Dungeon.

She looked around the area and tried looking for any enemies or perhaps, any reinforcements from their allies…

'It's a good thing I've prepared the Stealth Shawls…' Vincent thought.

After a few moments, the Celestial didn't find anything wrong in the surroundings aside from the hiding snakes before returning to the dungeon again…

'Phew… It's a good thing we all agreed to wait for Joran to appear before making a move.' Vincent thought as he realized that Joran was a really cautious person.

He actually sent out a Celestial to scout the outside first…

"The Celestial just now shouldn't have noticed our presence. Joran and his team might be coming out next." Agatha declared as soon as she saw the Celestial Being reenter the Dungeon.

Vincent heaved a sigh of relief.

Since it was said by Celestial Number 18, then it must be true.

It didn't take long before something happened.

In just a couple of minutes, the Dungeon Portal started fluctuating again. This time, it was quite stronger so it must be a group of people coming out. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Everyone held their breaths as they gripped their weapons tightly…

Once Vincent and Millie confirmed that Joran has appeared, they will attack immediately.

Thud… Thud…

Several figures appeared in front of the portal. There were four female warriors and one tall man who was in the midst of the group.

No one attacked.

Not even the Crystal Snakes. These snakes just remained underground waiting for an opportunity.

As for Vincent's team, they can't attack just yet since Joran might escape inside the dungeon again. He was too close to the entrance. They can't let him escape.

As Vincent waited for them to move, he suddenly felt Nerissa's aura leaking out!

Even if she's wearing the stealth shawl, she has to cooperate with it and not aggressively send out her energy!

Because of this, Joran and the others noticed where she was hiding!

'You—'

Vincent wanted to scold Nerissa but he suddenly smelled the stench of blood from the portal's direction.

He quickly shifted his gaze to Joran and soon, he realized why Nerissa wasn't able to control her emotion…

The heads of the three Diamond Tier Manipulators were actually hanging on his waist!
