A huge wave of water overflowed out of the lake after the giant blue River Dragon dived so suddenly… Thanks to its huge size, everyone was terrified by the sudden appearance of this Mythical Beast.
Luckily, they were immediately informed by Calidia through the Kayser Tower\'s network to stop them from panicking.
Krusk\'s dragon form can not sustain flight for a long period so as soon as he saw the lake, he immediately dived in.
Just like what Vincent had seen in the Silent Creek Dungeon, this River Dragon has four short limbs and a long body… It doesn\'t have any wings but it has delicate dragon scales that seem like treasures.
The Celestials watched Krusk resting on the lake and realized that there was an unusual movement on the lake…
"What\'s happening?" Number 815 asked after noticing that the lake started having a faint green glow…
"That young dragon is probably doing something on the lake… It\'s a River Dragon, we shouldn\'t be too worried…"
"Right… In any case, we\'re really in huge trouble right now. I think that the Overseer has eyes on Number 999. We might get affected by this… We can still try and escape from this city if we wanted. We haven\'t formed a formal contract with Vincent anyway…"
Number 778 said as she looked at her two companions, 815 and 833.
Although they were really tempted by Vincent\'s offer, they were a bit scared of facing the Overseer.
Of course, they didn\'t like this arrogant being as well but they know their position very clearly. They are aware that they can\'t defeat this powerful being even if there are ten of them working together…
Furthermore, if they angered the Overseer, they might be taken and sent to the front line and fight the other powerful races that wanted to take control of their body or kill them.
Although this battle is something they would willingly do so, they would only participate in it if they were in better condition. However, with the loss of many Celestial Beings and their ability to properly replenish their Energy, they weren\'t really in a good condition to continue the war. What they should be thinking of doing is to try and coexist in this world and perhaps find better ways of recovering their energy just like what Vincent had done…
"To be honest, I was also thinking of just leaving as well. However, I think that Vincent is quite special and we can\'t just give up this opportunity." Number 815 suddenly said as the other two looked at her curiously.
"Special?"
"Yes… Luna mentioned how Vincent was blessed by a deity of this land and how he had some sort of mutation that she couldn\'t explain… so I think that following him is a better choice."
"Ugh… That\'s true. I don\'t think we\'ll find another practitioner like him… He\'s emitting a weirdly mutated Celestial Energy and I\'m sure that there is no other human like him. I wonder how he did it…"
"Who knows… Maybe he\'s not even from this world in the first place."
The three of them chatted for a while as they also wanted to know each other\'s opinions about their current situation.
In the end, they concluded that staying on Vincent\'s side is a lot more beneficial than hibernating again.
Although they were quite scared of fighting against the Overseer, it is much better if they stayed together and see what Vincent is planning to do.
***
Three weeks quickly passed after the people from the 15th Tower attacked Vera City. Vincent was still inside his residence and the Mage Battalion led by Yulia was still in the Nidite City.
Unfortunately, the invasion of the Sea Creatures did not stop at all. They would send several humanoid sea creatures every other day as if they just wanted to lessen their population.
They weren\'t going all out fighting against the magicians and these creatures seem to be waiting for something to happen.
This can\'t continue like this or they will be in a disadvantageous position.
This may be quite easy for the Mage Battalion in the beginning but their condition is getting worse with every invasion. Their supplies were being consumed constantly, especially their recovery potions that is running out a lot faster than they have expected. They may be able to resupply their potions but the quality will be completely different since Vincent was unable to produce them in these past few weeks.
They have miscalculated the tenacity of the Sea Creatures. Although they were quite weak and only needed to use two or three Mana Arts to kill one of them, their number is just too much for them to handle.
Currently, Yulia was looking at the Tower that is being built at the center of the city. It was previously the spot of the granary but has been reconstructed to build a Mage Tower.
"Manager Luc, do you think that you can finish the First Phase of the Tower within this week?" Yulia asked Luc who had come from Vera City to assist with the construction of the tower.
The creation of the Tower has three phases and finishing its first phase would allow them to at least use the unique Centralized Formation Art that only Mage Towers can create.
With its completion, the pressure from the swarm of Sea Creatures would be a lot lesser. Furthermore, the thousands of Beast Cores they have collected would finally be put to use as fuel for the Tower.
That\'s right, over the past three weeks, they were already unable to track the number of beast cores they have collected.
Nevertheless, they weren\'t able to use them since their quality is a bit low compared to the ones they could find on the land.
"Rest assured, Grand Magus Yulia… Our team will be able to finish the first phase in the next five days. Sir Vincent prepared all the materials we needed before he went into his isolated training." Luc answered with a confident smile as he looked at the Blue Mage Tower being built by his team.
"That\'s good to hear…" Yulia replied but she was still worried about their situation.
After all, they can\'t just defend this city forever, they have to stop the source of the problem and that is to convince the Sea King to stop the invasion, either through force or some sort of negotiation.
\'I guess we really have to send someone to investigate this Star Garden Peak and see what they\'re really planning to do.\' Yulia thought as she recalled Lola\'s plan to end this invasion.
