YM778.TV Chapter 507 Apostle
The white and red aircraft steadily landed near their group.
Vincent didn\'t fail to notice the several scratches and holes on it… It seems that they had quite a hard time dealing with the ambush.
Nevertheless, Vincent can tell that none of the Celestials appear to be injured in the battle they encountered.
"Sorry for being late… Did you encounter the magic god\'s Avatar?" Rem asked after coming out and seeing that half of the Celestials were missing.
Currently, there are only 5 Celestials in the Werewolf Slayer Squad and she knows that with the presence of Luna and Agatha, they should be capable of at least protecting themselves even if they can\'t win against the demihumans.
Vincent sighed after hearing Rem\'s question.
The five that were killed were their new recruits so this honestly depressed Vincent as well.
The mass suicide or self-destruction is something he must consider in every battle from now on. He must think of a method to ensure that this devastating result would no longer happen again.
\'I should find a life-saving item that can be mass-produced…\' Vincent thought with a dispirited state.
He looked at the Celestials behind Rem and as expected, they do not look good after realizing the situation of the surviving Celestials. It hasn\'t been long since they started working with Vincent and some of them already died.
It is even in a mission that shouldn\'t be that dangerous since they only needed to hunt the female werewolf that caused trouble in their city.
\'They\'re probably deliberating how incompetent am I… Perhaps, they\'re thinking that our decision to launch an attack was all a mistake…\' Vincent thought as he couldn\'t really blame them if they were thinking like that.
Since only a few of them has Celestial Armor or Celestial Weapon, it was quite obvious that they weren\'t in their best condition to fight dangerous opponents relying on their physical abilities.
He can only imagine the effect of this failure. Most likely, none of these Celestials would willingly be sent out of the city again to conduct some dangerous missions.
In the end, he knows that he has to say something about this.
"It seems that we weren\'t prepared enough. However, I assure you that this won\'t be happening again. From now on, all the Celestials would have at least two Legendary Items with them at all times that can help them protect themselves. Allow me a month to make this… Ah, but my trip to the Star Garden Peak is nearing so I should at least complete half of them before leaving… Once I returned, I promise that every Celestial, Grand Knight, and Grand Magus would receive a Legendary-Grade Item…"
Vincent paused for a bit as he swept his gaze at everyone.
"Please encourage everyone in the city as well. Tell them that if they advanced in their profession and took a position to serve the city, they will receive a Legendary-Grade item from me…"
Although it was only a little, Vincent managed to lift everyone\'s mood… Even if he has to work harder because of this, he knows that he has to do this.
After all, if they leave right now in this gloomy mood, it could affect everyone\'s motivation for staying in the city. He can\'t let that happen.
Now that he created the city that he can call his home… There was no way, he would just let it die because of this one setback.
As soon as they left using the aircraft the Celestials brought, a figure of a female human slowly appeared not too far from the previous battlefield…
She looked at the rubbles caused by mass self-destruction made by the cultists before shifting her gaze to the disappearing figure of the aircraft.
She clenched her fist tightly as she vowed to herself that her revenge isn\'t over yet.
"This isn\'t over yet…"
With these words, she vanished again leaving no traces behind…

After returning to the city, Vincent decided to interrogate Ariana together with some high-ranking officials of the city.
This includes Thyrus, Calidia, Lar, Yulia, Severin, Luna, Rem, Brycen, and Shane.
Vincent wanted to ensure that he was not the only one who knows about the situation they are in. He wanted them to make decisions for him as well since he can\'t really do everything by himself.
Thanks to the Subordination Impulse Potion, Ariana was very cooperative…
First, they learned that the Black Magic Organization had truly gone to their Martial Arts Alliance and had persuaded the Alliance Head to accept them to be the next ruler of this northern lands.
Aside from the tons of gifts they\'ve brought, they have promised that they would also provide the Alliance with three times more Magic Tools compared to their original agreement with the Black Tower.
Of course, it didn\'t end there since the Alliance Head, can still be considered a "righteous" individual. He wasn\'t persuaded by this offer.
He only agreed to acknowledge them when the representative of the Black Magic Organization mentioned how corrupted the Towers had become during Ignacy\'s rule. They mentioned that the Black Tower is conducting inhumane experiments that should be condemned by other organizations.
This was obviously denied by Thyrus who is one of the Archons helping Ignacy manage the other towers. To be exact, it was the Towers under the rule of the Black Magic Organization that is conducting these inhumane experiments.
Vincent knows this as well. A sample of that is the 15th Tower which is probably the base of operations of the Black Magic Organization.
\'Well, this is a common strategy I guess… Blaming your crimes on other people is probably the fastest way to appear clean and gain support from others.\' Vincent mused as he looked at Calidia and Lar within the room.
They were basically the result of the inhumane experiments conducted by the Black Magic Organization so there was no way they would fall from such a lie. However, it\'s different for the Martial Arts Alliance who didn\'t know the truth.
After this, they also learned about the Apostles of the Magic God…
Aside from the Avatars that were difficult to deal with, these Apostles can prove to be one of their biggest threats…
"How many Apostles are there?" Vincent asked.
"We don\'t know. At the very least, we know one of the Apostles who was included in the delegation that visited our Alliance. We didn\'t see his face but the Alliance Head warned us that we\'ll need at least five Paragons working together to suppress this person."
Ariana replied with a serious look on her face.
