Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Lar including the other Grand Knights was actually surprised as soon as they saw that the Paragons just accepted his words and left.

They didn\'t think they would be able to control themselves.

"Is this alright?" Millie asked as she watched the three Paragons\' back.

All of them should\'ve sensed their hostility just now… However, the Paragons were smart enough to back away instead of fighting them. If they really acted on impulse, the Werewolf Slayer Squad would certainly beat them up or even kill them if necessary.

"It\'s a bit difficult because they\'re still part of the Alliance and they didn\'t really try fighting us..." Lar answered with a helpless smile.

Millie understood this as well but the only problem is that they can\'t control the future actions of these three people.

She wanted to end any future troubles since she was confident that with the presence of Celestials, they can easily win against them even if they were Paragons.

That\'s right, they weren\'t afraid of dealing with the Paragons but they might be in an awkward position once Ignacy learned that they killed them. The other Paragons may also counter-attack making their relationship with the Martial Arts Alliance terrible.

It might trouble Vincent if even the Martial Arts Alliance had become their enemy…

"Those cloaked men are coming… Be careful everyone. I don\'t feel right about them. They\'re dangerous." Thyrus suddenly said alarming everyone as they focused their vision on these people.

Suddenly Brycen exclaimed as he had just recalled something.

"They\'re part of the Demonic Cult! I\'m sure of it!" He said with a hint of surprise as he held his weapon tightly.

Although he hadn\'t seen them before, Shane had actually informed him about them.

Shane was the one who had trained in the Martial Arts Alliance for several years so he truly knows a lot of things within the Martial Arts Alliance\'s territory.

The training that he did wasn\'t normal at all. He was hunting the members of the Demonic Cult that had established their branch within the Martia Arts Alliance\'s territory secretly.

Shane mentioned to him how these people act, how they possess numerous weapons, their fighting techniques, their weird energy, and their obsession with ghastly creatures that he had never seen until then. They were people who seem to be worshiping another deity that may be more powerful than the Black Magic Organization\'s Magic God who had only become popular recently.

"Demonic Cult? Should we retreat? They should\'ve noticed the Celestial Beings but they aren\'t afraid at all. They might have some method to deal with them. What do you think?"

Patriarch Leon asked everyone since if he was in their shoes, he would surely change his path away from the Celestial Beings. However, these people seem fearless and don\'t put the Celestials in their eyes.

These types of opponents were the most difficult to deal with.

Firstly, their mission was to kill the werewolves anyway. Now that they have done so, shouldn\'t they retreat already?

In addition, Beatrice, the special werewolf, has a space-type ability that allows her to move to a different place unhindered.

This continent is huge so finding her again will be completely difficult. They should just give up now and return to the safety of the city.

Lastly, Leon also noticed that Brycen was previously controlling his flying beast pet to look for the werewolf\'s traces but there was obviously no result… At this point, Beatrice should\'ve escaped far away from this region.

​ With Leon\'s suggestion, even Thyrus hesitated since he doesn\'t really know much about the Demonic Cult.

"Brycen… Do you know whether we can win against them with our current lineup?" Thyrus asked.

\'No wonder the Paragons left in a hurry… They probably noticed that the newly arrived group were members of the Demonic Cult.\'

Brycen thought for a moment before he replied.

"If the Celestials weren\'t suppressed by their unique ability, we should be fine. However, I heard that the Demonic Cult is worshipping a demonic being that might be more powerful than the magic god so it wouldn\'t be surprising if they have a special ability that makes them unafraid of the Celestials."

Thyrus also thought of this as he nodded.

"That\'s not a good thing… However, they don\'t seem to be showing hostility… Or perhaps they\'ve hidden it very well unlike the Paragons? Should we escape now?"

"No… Let\'s hear what they have to say. We should be fine."

Suddenly, they hear Agatha speak which is quite rare to happen. She would just normally go along with their decision.

Nevertheless, since she\'s Number 18, they immediately decided to follow her.

"I have no problems with that…" Thyrus said as he looked at everyone. Only Patriarch Leon was hesitating but the others didn\'t seem to mind this decision at all.

With this in consideration, Thyrus just ensured that everyone had taken their potion and had their full attention on the members of the Demonic Cult.

Even if a battle broke out, he wanted to make certain that everyone is ready to fight.

Thud…

The members of the cult stood about 50 meters away from their group as Thyrus confirmed that there are a total of 36 people opposite them.

They were all wearing cloaks and they can barely see their nose and mouth.

"What do you want? You won\'t tell us that those creatures we killed were your pets, right?" Thyrus didn\'t wait for them to speak first as he started to engage them in a conversation.

Instead of answering, the leader of the cult stepped forward and showed his face to everyone by removing his cloak.

Unexpectedly, this man is actually quite good-looking. His attractive face combined with his fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes make him appear like a noble lineage instead of a demonic cult.

Brycen furrowed his brows since this man appears to be from Solomon\'s Pillar.

His hair and eyes can only be seen in that region after all.

"We\'re certainly not here to fight. I\'m Altairs Vasils, just a low-ranking member of the Cult. We\'re only here to claim the Celestials on your side. You only have to gift them to us and we will leave peacefully."

The man spoke amiably as if what he was telling them is a great favor for their squad.
