242 Celestial Part 3 (2/2)

”So you really think he's alive? Is he one of those Celestials?”

”He should be alive... That man was tougher than what everyone has thought. And I don't think that he's a Celestial as well, you will understand once you've seen a real one.”

Slaine was not bothered by her questions so Percival just let her be. Anyway, this woman won't be out of his sight anymore.

”Are they strong?”

”The Celestials? Yes... Hmmm... I think that's enough. I already rested for a while. I should continue going deeper.”

Percival nodded and lead the man on the path they have previously taken. It leads going deeper on this site and he can only pray that this Grand Arcanist would be able to find the mysterious man.

Now that he learned what he was aiming for going to this continent, he wanted him to succeed and help humanity strengthen for the sake of the future.

”I don't think we know that someone you're looking for...”

Wallace answered the Celestial Being he identified as not problematic. He was expecting that those problematic Celestials that the A.I. meant would just probably attack them on sight and would not converse like these. But his telepathic form of communication can really cause a headache.

”Mhmm... That's weird...”

The Celestials trusted their senses a lot and they would not normally get mistaken.

Soon, the being tried to probe them.

It flicked its fingers and the next thing they know was that they were thrown away as they crashed in the nearby trees and rocks. Hannah was injured with a broken right arm. Clint was also not in good condition as his head got smashed in a nearby rock.

”Guh!”

Elaine vomited a mouthful of blood as she almost canceled the blood tracking spell.

It would be real trouble if the spell loses its effects now.

Everyone else understood this so even though Yumi was also hurting after being thrown to a nearby trunk of a tree, she worriedly looked at Elaine to confirm that she was still conscious.

Yumi then glanced at Wallace who was also struggling to stand up. There was no visible injury on his body but it can be seen that he was wobbly standing on his feet.

”Well, it seems that I'm mistaken...”

The Celestial was seemingly disappointed about the result of the test. The figure even slowly walked to them and it seems to be planning something.

'Crap... Another one of those and they might take serious injuries...'

Wallace can only protect himself and he really didn't take that much damage and he only acted in hopes of making this Celestial unguarded to his surprise attack if necessary.

'But what was this guy's looking for-- Wait, Maybe...'

”Your eminence...”

Wallace didn't know how to call the being so he only tried calling him this. He started to talk as the existence might try that attack one more time and finish them off. He was now sure that this one was actually a problematic Celestial or probably reaching that state. Seeing that there was no reaction, he continued.

”We've seen one of your kinds bathing under the lake in that direction. Your eminence can probably reach that place in a few minutes... I am unsure whether they're the ones you're looking for...”

Wallace pointed in the direction they avoided as he prayed that this guy would leave them already.

”Hmm... I don't think that they're the one I'm looking for but I would like to meet one of my kind...”

The Celestial answered slowly and thought for a few seconds. Wallace gulped as he waited for this being to disappear from his sight. The five seconds it took to decide felt like an eternity. Elaine, Hannah, and Clint needed quick medical attention!

Luckily, his prayers were answered as the Celestial floated and disappeared like he was never there. The blocked mana was also removed and they can already feel the surrounding mana flooding their location.
