The five Celestial Beings were not affected by the power of the Sentient Tome.
They were able to easily get out of its range as soon as they felt the vacuum dragging them to another dimension.
The five of them looked in Vincent's direction with terrified faces as they know how powerful that was. There was no way those fully functioning warships could be dragged over into another dimension so easily. The engines being used for these specific vessels were the latest technology that this era could offer.
Furthermore, they have never encountered any kind of technique close to this.
Their reaction is basically similar to Thyrus who had seen everything closely.
Suddenly, the soldiers on top of the walls and the citizens who were nervously watching the battle cheered and applauded themselves!
"Hahaha! We did it!"
"We survived! Take that! Our Kayser Tower is the best!"
"Ah? Is that the power of the Tower? I thought it was from the Celestials?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No… The Celestials working for Sir Vincent were busy dealing with the other Celestials…"
"That's true… Did they just retreat? They just disappeared in our sight into some hole or something."
"I don't so… I must be another Mana Art we're not aware of."
"Incredible… I wonder what happened to the warships…"
The people were unsure of what truly happened. Considering how these warships were able to arrive instantly above their city like they opened some portal, some of them thought that they just did the same thing and retreated in an instant.
They couldn't find the traces of their enemies after all. Perhaps, if the wreckage of the three warships can not be seen outside their city, they might think that all of it was just an illusion.
However, the artillery shells they fired were real, the wreckage of the three airships was there, and the five Celestial Beings were also outside looking at them with cautious eyes.
"Vincent… That was incredible… You handled this matter very well." Thyrus can only praise Vincent.
He has so many questions in his mind but he felt that it's not that important at the moment.
"It's all to protect the city…" Vincent replied as he motioned to the floating black book to return to his hands.
Thyrus nodded in understanding. Many lives were lost just now but he doesn't have plans to reprimand him at all. Those guys were truly planning to kill the people living in this city. Wherever they are right now, they should deserve it.
"Right, I'm thinking of returning to the First Tower to see the situation of the Tower Lord. Since the 15th Tower broke all the pretenses and attacked you, the Seventh Disciple, something must've happened."
"That makes sense… Do you need our help?" Vincent asked as he thought of sending a few people to assist Thyrus in case he got into trouble after returning to the city."
"There's no need for that, I'm still an Archon and I won't easily go down. For now, I think you have to focus on those five Celestials. They don't seem to have plans of leaving just yet." Thyrus reminded as he looked in their direction.
Vincent jolted as he had indeed forgotten about them… He thought that after they saw those warships get 'eaten' by the Tome, they would leave already. However, that wasn't the case at all as if they were waiting for a miracle that the people in those warships were still alive.
"Alright… I'll deal with them… Be careful, Archon Thyrus."
"I will. Do you have any message you want me to pass over to your Master?"
"Hmm… Just reassure him that I'm safe and that I've dealt with the enemies without taking any damage on our side." Vincent replied after pondering for a moment.
Thyrus nodded with a smile as he floated above the city before flying off back to the First Tower.
Vincent sighed after seeing him leave. To be honest, he's really quite worried for his Master. He is his strongest backer after all. If something happened to him, Vincent would have to rely on himself to fend off his enemies.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, he might be able to get some help from his other senior disciples but he wasn't sure about their situation as well.
'Is it a coincidence that Senior Lola's city was also under attack?' Vincent frowned at this thought but he immediately shook his head.
This is not an important matter right now.
"Luna, Tara, Rem… What do you think they were planning to do? Are they still looking for a fight?" Vincent asked the three.
If those five decided to leave now, they would certainly be unstoppable. Vincent can't do anything about it at all.
At his question, Rem actually looked at Vincent with raised brows…
"Are you sure you're not aware why they're staying there?" Rem asked as if Vincent's question was unbelievable to her.
Of course, Vincent was stunned after hearing it as he was really unaware of the reason.
He looked at Luna and Tara for answers but they were also looking at him like he was a very cruel person.
Well, that may be true considering how he didn't think too much of the deaths caused by his Sentient Tome.
However, he wasn't really like this. His values have just greatly changed because of his experience throughout these years. He knows that as their leader, he has to make choices that will benefit the entirety of their community.
He is no longer alone and he has to consider things from a different perspective.
Seeing that Vincent was truly unaware of what he had just done, Luna decided to explain.
"Vincent… You just captured or maybe killed their contracted Mana Practitioner. Right now, no one can provide them with the Blood Essence they needed. They can't just change their contract to another person for at least three or five years… Well, it depends on how long they've been dependent on those Blood Essence so it could be longer than that… So of course, they won't just give up…"
