YM778.TV Chapter 456 Another Guests
As the night approaches, the Celestials suddenly became wary as they returned to the city…
They didn\'t warn the guards or the Kayser Tower but one of them headed to Vincent\'s residence to report their findings.
"Come in…" Vincent said as he noticed someone\'s presence outside his workshop.
After enhancing the ingredients that Faviona and others needed to concoct the Soul Wisdom Potion, he continued his grind to increase his Transcendence Skill level to 9.
As a matter of fact, he had already destroyed numerous items because of this method but he has no other choice but to continue doing it to get more experience. He may not have a Magic Beast Cores to increase his chances but it doesn\'t matter to him since he can still gain experience even if he fails as long as he uses the System Skill.
"Pardon my intrusion." Rem replied copying Yulia\'s courtesy.
She then entered the workshop and looked at Vincent\'s back before shifting her gaze to the items on his workbench.
As she expected, Vincent is still modifying or perhaps strengthening various items.
There were even a couple of them that she could tell were Legendary Items… These items which could rarely be seen around the continent were as if mushrooms that can just appear out of nowhere around him.
"Mhmm… How can I help you, Rem?" Vincent asked as he turned to face the Celestial.
"Did you not smell the stench of those wolves?"
"Huh? I did not… What are you talking about? Is there a Wolf-Variant Magic Beast around the city?"
"Oh… It\'s not that… These wolves were different. They are Demihumans. People of this world call them Celestial Beasts. It seems that some of them have been eyeing the city for a while now. They\'re quite difficult to deal with since they\'re resistant to Celestial Energy."
"Hmm? That sound\'s troublesome… Do you think they\'ll attack us?" Vincent stopped what he was doing as he put all his attention on Rem.
He can\'t underestimate these Demihumans since he already knows that they\'re capable of standing off against the Celestial Race. They have strange mystical abilities that he can\'t simply ignore.
Considering how the Mystic Eyes and other body transformation arts originated from them, he can already tell that fighting against them will be difficult.
"Most likely… It will be a full moon later on and it\'s a perfect time for them to attack."
"Eh? Full Moon… Wolves… Are they some sort of Werewolves?"
"Hmm? How did you know of it? I\'m pretty sure that there are no werewolves in this world." Rem asked in confusion.
"Aahhh… I just guessed it… I mean, I have some vague memories that I read it somewhere. In any case, we should be ready to face them. Can you tell me their traits or any weakness we can exploit?"
Vincent asked.
Rem did not pursue the matter regarding Vincent\'s incredible knowledge and just answered his question.
It didn\'t take long before Vincent learned all the things he needed to know about the Werewolves…
Aside from their incredible speed and offensive capabilities, they also use a strange sound and stench as their mystical skill.
Their roars weren\'t normal and the stench emitting off their bodies wasn\'t normal as well…
In short, this Demihuman Race was the worst possible opponent for melee combat. It is better to fight them in range as they have brutal means of incapacitating their opponents at close range.
"Right, are the silver bullets effective against them?" Vincent asked.
Well, this is common knowledge in his previous life, especially to those who like watching fantasy stories or romance that involve werewolves…
"Silver Bullets are indeed quite effective… Your creation of pistols is quite timely…" Rem said as she was no longer surprised that Vincent would also know of this.
"Hmmm… If we gather all the Magic Crafters, all the silver coins and craft in our possession can be turned into bullets in no time… We still have a few hours before the full moon so we should be able to make them in time…"
"That\'s good… For now, we will be patrolling the surroundings so we\'ll know where will they come from." Rem replied.
"Got it…"
Vincent then called all the Crafters to change their Arcane Steel Bullets to Silver Bullets. He also informed the Magic Battalion and the Garrison Squad to prepare for battle…
Of course, he also informed them about the changes in the bullets if they encountered the Demihumans.
"Is this enough?" Vincent asked himself as he finished contacting everyone.
He doesn\'t know the number of Werewolves that may attack their city but if they think that they can win, it means that they probably have a huge number or they are relying on something that they think will guarantee their victory.
If that\'s the case, he has to have at least plan B or plan C in case he faced an unexpected situation.
***
Three miles away from the city, a group of 30 people wearing bear skin as their clothes looked in the direction of Vera City.
"Is that the place we\'ll have to attack, father?"
A teenage girl asked as her eyes turned red to look at the fortified city ahead of them.
"Stop observing them using your abilities… You might get noticed. We\'re not here to fight them but to take something that is ours."
A middle-aged man with a huge build and standing above 7 feet tall answered with a stern voice.
Nevertheless, the teenage girl didn\'t have an ounce of fear as she rebutted.
"Isn\'t that the same? After uncle and the rest create a diversion, our main group will infiltrate the cave… If there\'s anyone who dares to block us, we\'ll kill them… Right?"
"Ugh! You brat…We will have to avoid fighting as much as possible…"
"Huh? Then why are we waiting for the full moon if we will avoid fighting?" The girl complained.
Many years ago, their tribe has hidden an important item deep within the gold mine that is now occupied by the city. It was supposed to be a safe hiding spot considering numerous beasts are living within the mountain range. The path from here was also difficult to traverse because of the uneven ground.
However, an ambitious person managed to completely change this place in just two years… Aside from the fortified city, they also built paved roads making transportation a lot easier.
The leader of the pack then seriously replied…
"We need to be careful. Although we have no issues dealing with the humans, the disgusting Celestials are guarding the city…"
